Anyone who knows what they are doing can just get 200-500 perkies a month. Resetting them really won't do much.
You have to look at the average player. The problem is, the common perception by AH vets discussing these things very much overrates what "average" really means in AH. The discussions on the BBS are often dominated by "oh, I suck sooo much" players who are actually in the top 10% with their stats.
Last tour, the average number of kills per player in fighter+attack mode was 43. That's way below 200-500 perks per month. Even if they had a good perk bonus modifier, we are talking about something like 40-70 perks per tour, on average (Remember, the avg. perk per kill in a fighter is close to 1, without modifiers).
Even whith the odd war victory perk thrown in, the average player would have a very hard time to fly a 262, ever, if the perks were reset after each tour.
Oh, and that's just the average, which is boosted by a small group of top players with insane hour per tour to boot. The
median numbers are actually much lower.
