umm, somewhere up there 10bears mentioned perking all late war planes and resetting perk points each tour. I could see this as being almost ok, if the costs were kept low. The only problem with the resetting of perk points is that it punishes people who don't fly but a couple of hours a week vs those that fly a couple of hours per day. If the costs are two high, it'll punish the casual flier, unless they're just awesome and can rack up kills FAST.
I'm only for perking planes that "upset the balance" somehow, not use the system to enforce a rolling planeset on the main arena. Get more subscribers, then open up a rolling planeset arena, maybe even Axis-Allies. I'm for flying what you want in the main, but I'm also for not seeing one plane type so much more over the rest of the plane set. I'd actually like to see the TA152 and Tempest perks lowered significantly, just to actually SEE those planes in the arena. IMO, their values have kept them out of the arena. I have only seen three tempests the entire time I've played in the main arena. I've NEVER seen the German perk fighter. I've seen maybe 5 Arados. On the other hand, I still see Chogs, but not the amount before the perk. I see just a few more nikis and spit IXs, but I see more Dhogs and LA7s now.
anyways, sorry for steering the thread in yet another direction!
