Please perk or reduce the late war monsters

[DmonSlyr]

So tired of diving on a 190D only for it to do 2 evasive and gladly press X and run away. This is the problem with the MA. Too many yak3, 190D press X garbage. Totally lame game play. It would seriously fix most of the MA gripes if these 2 planes were taken down a notch. So tired of chasing them all over the map. If the TA use to be perked, why the heck isnt the 190D, 500 cannons and the best engine with the best dive almost deserves a small perk. Please reduce this planes usage with a small perk.


Thank you.

Fly a Dora.  Problem solved.

Fly a plane you won't win in. You'll have plenty of fights.

Guaranteed!  I find that's true, no matter what plane I fly!

Fly a Hurr 1. They will always run away from that too.

You don't really want that. 

Everyone flying in 190Ds is unhealthy for the game.

I love fighting Dora’s in the 51.   It’s a good matchup.

Then perk everything that isn't early war. Give mid war a moderate perk cost and late war a higher perk cost, based on how late and how much of a monster the equipment is. That's better than having the late/mid/early arenas since the population would all be in one MA. Born killers will finally use their perks and likely won't suffer the consequence. Dweebs like me will fly clunkers and either get better or be stuck there.

Now, we just gotta ask ourselves if this change in environment will retain a customer base.

Speed and acceleration are the 2 biggest advantages a plane can have. If a G14 (late war) or a P47M (latewar) can't catch a 190D after a couple of evasives, it's obviously a super plane. What's really the difference between a Temp and a 190D besides the 2 extra Cannon's? Only a few late super late war planes should be perked. Reducing their usage won't be a bad thing.

[Arlo]

Um, 190D is late war and would likely rate a higher perk cost ..... or am I missing something in your post?

The real concern, regarding your frustration, is whether the supposedly needed cure would kill the patient, however.

Biggest advantage would be having the better pilot.

The game needs to be fun for new players. It's not a war, they can leave anytime and they're paying to play. How does perking more planes help them have fun and stick around for a while? A player who's been here for years probably knows there's nothing better but new players often quit before appreciating that.

Right on.

I think new players would be more frustrated at the fact that they never get into a fight but are constantly BnZ'd by fast planes.  Even if they put the effort in to get good they can never win against a plane that can (and all too often does) just out run them.

I have been here a number of years and that has to be my biggest gripe.  Bear in mind I fly a 51 almost exclusively so should be able to run players down however too many choose to run away as the first option, to the point that the game frustrates me enough to not bother anymore.

I think this is the best game of its genre but there is a general tendency to run first fight second.

I do not know the answer.  Having a game filled with more spit 1's and 109e's might help but IMO all you will see is the same behaviours just 75 moh slower.

Half of the plane roster should be perked lightly!
