Post like this make me laugh as well.
The people that cry to perk a bomber do so because they were either bombed or shot down by the bomber they wish to have perked. There is no valid reason to perk the Lancaster, it does not unbalance the game play in any fashion.
Basically, players (like the OP and those that think like him) cry to perk planes that kill them and/or they can't kill themselves.
ack-ack
actually for your information i do not view lancasters as a direct threat... even if im in GV the wish was a wish yes... but it was also a question to see what people thought
what does bother me is how stupidly they are used... vary rarely will lancs return home... because they are slow... which contributes to bomb n bail after WF town(because they can near WF it in 1 pass 2 at most)
also contributes to suicide into carrier groups
and low level carpet bombing of spawns
and at the time of i think it was 45k pounds(currency) for 1 lanc... that would be like i think some where 2million pounds today? or almost 4 million a plane math might be off on that one
so the fact people are throwing away we'll say 12million in planes just to kill a hand full of targets its a bit much
and granted i my self have done many of the listed above things....just not the bomb n bail that being said... i still dont think it should happen so frequently anything that can shut down a base purely on its own... should be perked in my opinion
and for the record it really does not matter what bomber you are in when you get intercepted it depends on what intercepted you... and how good of a gunner you are slow speed makes them easier to intercept yes... but it does not take many 50 cals to bring a plane on your 6 down...
