Late war planes unbalance the game compared to mid war and early war planes. Mid war planes unbalance the game compared to early war planes.
Incorrect. Just because a plane is from the late war period does not automatically unbalance the game play for lesser rides like mid and early war planes. For example, the P-38L is a late war P-38 but does not unbalance the game compared to the P-38J, a mid war plane. This is just one example of many others that prove your claim incorrect.
Late war planes are better than mid war planes, mid war planes are better than early war planes (faster, better climb, more guns, higher calibre, better energy retention etc).
Incorrect again and just shows that you really don't know about the performance of the planes in this game. The Spitfire Mk IX, a mid war plane, is more than a match for many late war planes.
Other than the boosted ailerons and dive flap on the P-38L, the P-38J's performance is equal to that of the P-38L, despite being a mid war plane.
That is why everyone is flying late war planes, because they are 'the best' without a cost, so everyone is able to fly them (you don't see 262 163 and Tempest very often and that is how it should be with late war planes and mid war planes, you should see them more than 262 but not as much as we currently do)
Again, you are incorrect. "Everyone" isn't flying late war planes, if you actually did play you'd see planes in this game spanning all periods flying in the MA. Also, the stats don't support your statement that "everyone" is flying late war planes.
Idealy it would be best if all the planes were perked starting from early war planes and you would be accumulating points for the higher tier planes,once you unlock a better plane you get a few uses of it and while you have your uses you retain the points so you can move forward to the 262, the later war plane the less uses and if you use up your uses of the plane the points get reset and you go again from early war plane. Seeing how the 'old' subscribers feel about this here I doubt it will ever happen.
Ideally, there would be no perks assigned to any plane but realizing that game play sometimes takes priority, I can live with the fact that only planes and other vehicles that do actually unbalance the game play are perked. All your idea does is force people to fly planes they might not want to fly at all and the result is a customer that most likely will look elsewhere for their enjoyment.
I'm not here to fly two planes, and if I take a i-16 I have no realistic chances against all the late war planes.
Some say that they fly other planes, numbers and facts don't lie, people fly what is in the top 10 list - late war planes because they are 'the best'.
Here is a clue...you're not limited to two planes at all currently in the MA. You have choices of dozens and dozens of planes to fly that aren't perked, spanning from early to late war planes.
If you were to spend more time learning things like ACM and tactics, you'd have the skills necessary to be competitive in any plane you fly. I fly a mid-war fighter exclusively and I've never considered the plane I fly to be inferior to any late war fighter other than the Me 262 and Me 163. It's the pilot and not the plane.
