Here is a thought, what would be the best Aprils fools joke for Hitech to incorporate into AHII for just that one day.  Any and all ideas welcome.  With anyluck, HiTech may just do something.

I would make everyones airplane look like a stick figure from the early days with AW. Or make a map that looks like the original small europe complete with the abbrviated names and land names changed to A, B, C.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Would laugh my arse off if HTC made aircraft invulnerable but still secretly registered hits; so instead of "so & so landed 5 kills" it would read "so & so was killed 25 times".

On April 1, for each player, the first 60 seconds the following actions are attempted, the results will be:

parachute will not open and voice will say "Quit yanking on me!"

ack guns will sound in tiny little voice "ooh    ah    ooh    ah"

engine starts will burst into flames as European crash truck sirens sound ("eee ah eee ah eee ah")

base icons flashing will have woman's voice warning  "Base out of whack, base out of whack"

pt boat engine start will initiate severe flooding sound and anxious voice "Sir, permission to abandom ship!"

explosions look like the little POW/ZAP/KAZOOIE thingies in old cartoons


add complete nudist beaches that you can almost, but not quite, make out anything more than the general outline

change the PT boat into a small canoe, armed to the teeth with BB guns...

any collisions will be reported by a high pitch yowl of "DOWDED!"
