And so it came to pass....

[PakRat]

That we got the much-feared perk planes - and it was good.

Lo, the sky did not fall and furballs were to be found everywhere.

In this time of extra perk points due to accrual over the past month, there were also very few perkers flying around and by golly, there have even been numerous kills of perk planes! As the stored-up perk points get eaten away, it appears there will be even fewer perk planes in the air than there are now.

Perk planes have proven to be great additions that do not destabilize or radically change flying behaviors.

I guess it's a little sad - all those people who thought their virtual world was coming to an end. HTC somehow managed to do it right contrary to vocal, if not popular, belief, they did it right. Imagine that.

Excellent job on the perk system!

And so, it came to pass that Luftwaffe pilots were provided the means to obliterate the "runstang" stigma previously assigned to P-51 flyers.  Yes... the Dora had arrived.

And people across the land gathered and observed that this was good.  For the Luftwaffe could out-run the Pony.  The US pilots could call the Luftwaffe even more names.  The Tempest pilots knew they could still catch either of them.  Life had reached equilibrium.

Then came the La-7!  The evil scourge of the arena that only showed its ugly head in numbers too numberous to count.  Entire skies filled with the crimson 7 terrorized lower unsuspecting fun seekers.  This evil will not go unpunished, for once again, the Tempest pilots knew they could catch the evil 7.

Hehehehe... Think all the planes were a fine addition.  I do hope they don't add even faster craft (non-perked).  I'd still fly a P-40 if they modeled it

Yet again, the sky breaketh open and the Almighty Old God Pyro doth
emerge from the heavens called Texas.

"Behold!" He bellowed "I hath brought a new challenge to the
Dweebs! Brave ye must be to pilot the great Bomber of Blitz, for her
speed tis not for the Weak of Stomach. A Bomber of Blitz can be found
by listening for the Wail of Banshees coming from yon engines! I hath
brought a Mighty Storm uppon the Rolling Terrain(tm) as well; this
storm shall be known as the Tempest! Verily she doth fly at Amazing
Speed and carry four of the Holy Hispano Cannons! The Masses may now
carve off the Paper Wings from yon Luftwobble using the Dreaded 20mm
Lance. Ye thinks I have finished? I spite thee! For I hath only begun.
Many of the foul Bugs doth perish in my new Version, for behold! the
Ack now worketh as I had intended."

There was a great pause, then he continued...

"Verily I doth bring thee coveted Aircraft Variants! Now there be many
Dweebs running in thine Warpstang, for behold I bring thee three Wurgers
of the Apocalypse! One shall be knows as yon Dora, and verily will it destroy
all those who oppose it! Thine second Wurger of the Apocalypse I doth create
to down yon Alt-Monkey Buff Dweebs! No longer shall they roam high above the
Rolling Terrain (tm) unmolested; for now the Ta-152 hast appeared! Yon third
Wurger of the Apocalypse shall be known as Fritz the Destroyer. For Behold!
Fritz belongs to the omnious Jabo Gang.

I have not forgotten yon Warpstang Dweebs! For I bring thee a P-51B! It shall
be faster and better than the D, but yon Dween shall sacrifice two of thine
own Brownings before flight.

Ye Russkie Dweebs I hath not forgotten thee either. For Behold! I bring you the
La-7 with a trio of cannons! It shall be fast and quick, so thy may now bring
down yon Dora with the powerful Snapshot(tm)! Another of my creations now
graces this Rolling Terrain (tm) and it is the Yak-9T! It doth carry within
a slender body the dreadded BFG! Ye shall kill anyone now with a great One
Ping Death!

Does thine Dweeb thinketh these Great Prizes be free? Nay, for these Wonders
must be bought using the Points of Perketh. The Great God of Physics and Laws
HiTech shall punish thine Dweeb by taking his Points of Perketh every time yon
Dweeb totals a Great Prize! HiTech doth labor hard and long to create such
Great Prizes.

Yon God of All Things Three Dee Superfly shall be forbidden to partake of the
Urine known as Shiner! For thee hast trouble applying simple textures! For
this Great Insult, yon God shall become a Dweeb for 2 Weeks(tm) as punishment."

The masses cheered, for it looked to be good, but Pyro hath interrupted
them...

"Today, on this Holiest of Days, I shall release my New Creation upon
the masses! And it shall be known as 1.06."

Doth Speaketh the Almighty Old God Pyro.

1.06 is out, go download it.

LMAO... Reading this at work... People think I am on drugs now, thanks  

Dost thou not knowest that on the 3rd day of the great creation, Pyro would create thick layers of floating water vapors. These vapors shall be dubbed, "clouds"

And behold, the low lying Bird of Goon shall no longer be struck down by the high flying birds of prey. For now the slow green bird shall be afforded protection in the mists.

And upon the sight of such clouds, the Mustang may rejoice, for he may find comfort in his ability to shake the dreaded Dora from his hooven trail. For also in thine clouds will be the brethren of the Mustang, preparing to strike down the evil Dora with their mighty Brownings.

And so it shall come to pass that every thing will be good and the evil furballs will be smittened.
