Unperk the spit14
« on: April 18, 2012, 07:27:46 PM »
For one month, or even less if there is a gameplay imbalance - if not leave it unperked.

Pretty please

Better yet, extend the Perk system across all post 41 machines or remove it all-together!

Even better yet how about more Perk point sinks: Lets trade perks for web services, like HTC hosted squad pages?

The Internet demands MOAR!

I have enough perks to crash 100 spit 14s, however I don't like using my perks for something that doesnt warrant it. The fact there are rarely spit 14s flying around in the DA is telling.

The Spit 14 in it's current incarnation is not more perk worthy than the 109K ;)

I was surprised when it was not unperked along with the Ta 152H...

Being perked also heavily distorts the combat experience with it as you get ganged for nothing other than being in a perk plane, and the Spit XIV can't do 385mph to run from the horde.

Lusche since when did the Ta152H drop from 5ENY to 10 ENY?

No idea. It may have happened along with the removal of the perk status in, if I recall correctly, 2007.

It's been 5 eny as of a few months ago, I haven't noticed when it switched but recently I noticed it was 10eny and was like "wait a minute?".

I can see the Spit14 dropping to 5 eny and no perks, if anything i'd be flying it exclusively to run down La7s and P51s.

I believe if the 14 would get unperked we'd see a lot more of them. Who would not want a Spitfire that's faster than a P-51?

They would quickly go back to the "standard" Spit 16 when they note the added speed comes at huge cost. Because it's not simply a "spit faster than a P-51".

There is a good reason the XiV is, by a huge margin, both the least used (despite the low price) and least successful perk plane.

Thing is at most AH altitudes the 14 is not much faster than LAs or P51s. It's also quite squirrely to fly, and the pitch is clunky. It doesn't fly like a spixteen.

Spit14 falls along the lines of a P-51D and Fw-190, although slower then both, I'm sure it out turns both easily and maintains the E which puts it ahead of the pack.

Its no turn fighter, but when it beats the late war speed demons in a turn fight, it wins my vote.
