HE11 ya it would be cool:aok

I'm sure enough of you have seen Band of Brothers by now, there is the scene {which is one of the BEST in the movie} where the paratroopers are in C47's coming into the drop area and the sky is filled with AA fire and exploding/burning aircraft. Now that my friend would be a site to behold in the gaming community.

My 2 cents

General troops, civilians, and ground crew that run around when you shoot them.

How about when you are on the rearm pad crewmen come out of the shack with the fuel lines and hook up to your plane.

MOIL, have you played Call of Duty? That game IS Band of Brothers.

One of the add-ons for MoH had the paradrop thing more accurate to BoB's scene than CoD did. CoD is a much better game overall of course but the paradrop scene in the beginning of the MOH add-on was really cool to look at. CoD stole some scenes right out of Enemy at the Gates too.

Moving levers in cockpits.

One of the joys of AH is that we can read the real pilot's handbooks and recognise the performance silhouette of our planes.

One of the joys of IL-2 is reading the pilot's manual and finding out "what does this button do?"

And then using it in game

Was that from WW2OL? The most constantly patched game in history? ;-)

HTC should have the platform now........

Tiles and transitions generally can be smartened up but I reckon we have many terrain builders who can help there once the TE is out.

Beaches (seem to be coming)

Better tree/forest shapes.........

Ruins........

Buildings collapsing rather than doing somersaults.............

Better (smaller) fire graphics (not the torpedo shaped fire columns we have)..............

Waves and swell when at sea.........

Muddy rivers and river banks...........

Road and rail eye candy (even if they are not all used for strat trucks and loco's)

oh yeah!

We need hospitals, troops ships and sharks.

Partical effects can do some really amazing things with fire, smoke, and explosions. Aircraft fires, pyrotechnics.

Love to see a shock wave when bombs hit when flying above an explosion.

all these ideas are great for driving out players with stutters and 10 frame rates

I thought we lost those losers 2 weeks ago.

If he builds it, I will upgrade...
