Leave everything the way it is now, but allow any "resupp" perks to be assigned to the category of your choice. Also change the Strat resupp value from 4 minutes to 6 minutes. :banana:

add the meteor MK III and people will want to fly it much more aggressively than the 262 drivers.    :airplane:

I also +1 paying some perks to fix your ride at the re-arm pad.  Make it expensive.   :D

I too have a ton of perks but I play a lot.  Could the answer be to have perks exclusive to the tour that they were acquired?  That is to say we all start out at zero perks at the start of a new tour.


That's actually not a bad idea, IMO.

The only down side I can think of is a possible flurry of tiger tanks and 262's in the last week.  Then again, it might reduce the number of perk planes during the tour which is not always a bad thing.  HTC and or Lusche would have enough information to gage such a change would have.

My guess is  to why perks are limited to the source of the perks is there are ways to get perks with little risk at times i.e., supply trips.

It is not a bad idea to reset the perk accounts once in a while. Veteran players have accumulated so many perk points that they can flying nothing but perked planes for several tours without landing a single sortie. Sure, veteran players will earn perks a lot faster than the noobs, but at least the disparity in the piled points will not be as large. The smaller pool should be reflected in the perk costs and allow noobs an easier access to perked rides.

A full reset can frustrate new players that have to work hard to earn perks. It is perhaps better to reset and give all players a head start of X perks so they do not start from zero and can take a light-perked ride right away. In such a recurring resets setup, it is perhaps better to merge the 3 perk pools into one.

I'm just wishing it to be able to spend more with your perks, besides making your planes perform better. IE, to fix damage on a plane with the re-arm, select a new ordinance, select new skin.

You could pay perks (a lot) to bring more bombers with you on a sortie.

You could bring more equipment on a tank for an extra perk cost.

You could spend them at the bordello.

most vet players have thousands of perkies because they dont care to fly perked planes. 

most guys that have been around here for a few months dont have perks because they crash every single perked plane they up as soon as they can afford it.

could.. also change the planes that are perked.. like..

lightly perk most heavy bombers..(would encourage use of medium/light bomber) especially in balance to reflect b29s price.

re-balance GV perks for a bit more diversity

re-balance fighter perks. and lightly perk more of them(la-7s..some spits.. p47s.. 109s so forth)
or just.. perk majority of late-late war rides and some earlier ones depending what it is

would actually get a bit of aircraft diversity going on and you might see more than the same 5 aircraft flying around and see some things.. finally taken out of the hangar and used..

Actually I've been looking at some diversity myself. Main ride is the 110G and 410, and spit 5. 3 planes you don't see a lot of, the first 2 you don't see getting down and dirty either  :D
