How far you wanna take it Benny?  We gonna need oxygen over 10K too?  Does my house start on fire if my engine does?

I think it becomes overkill to throw too many bells and whistles in to the game, because in the end it still is just that...a game.  

You'd end up driving half if not more of the paying customers out the door.  

There has to be a middle ground and I think HTC has found it nicely.

Good fighters in  WWII, like the Fw190 and Spitfire, were pretty much "yank and bank" once in combat.  Bad fighters, like the P-38, had a lot of things the pilot had to manage in combat.

LOL here we go again.  According to who karnak?  The guys that trained on 38s flew and fought in them quite well.   One report by one guy does not a all encompassing truth make.

undo the pony's exccesive drag update from last year:aok

[DaddyAck]

excessive drag???
every pony I ever saw was able to run like greased lightning.

I'd like to see more importance placed on bombers. Most of all control on spreading out the 3 plane formation for maximum bombing control. That way you can carpet bomb a little better.

[Speed55]

I'd like to see a pre-set mission planner.

Every 15 minutes or half hour i'd like to see a computer generated mission pop up, so all you'd have to do is click on the plane you want to fly.

They could be based on popular MA missions, or strat destruction missions, like in some scenario's.

There would be a system run count down on country channnel.

Just a loose idea.

[Tiger]

The strat re-done so that it is useful.   Bombers need something more to do than just smash hangers.

More ord options.

Formations for CV based bombers.

Less barracks at bases

Additional Japanese Carrier based planes.

The ability to run your engines rich or lean (you could have an auto setting like trim to help)

Switch the numbers of auto-acks and manned acks.  There should be more manned acks and less autos at bases.

Add additional picket destroyers to CV groups, and move them further away from the CV.

Remove the towns.  (Why do you need to destroy innocent civilians just because they live near an airfield)  Bomb the tower at the base (make it take 8-10k lbs to destroy) and drop your troops there.  

Increase local radar ranges.  Get rid of DarBar.  

Add a 'death penalty'  If you die or bail you cannot re-up for X-minutes.  Make it progressive.  You die, 6 mins, you bail/ditch in enemy territory 5 mins, bail/ditch in friendly territory 4 mins.  Would encourage people to actually land.

Reset all perk points to 100.  Perk all but a basic set of 4-5 planes.  Increase the perk rewards with increased incentive on surviving.  Perk the vast majority of the planes.  This would also encourage people to survive and land rather than banzai into unwinnable situation and suicide attack fields and CVs

Make it so that landing at the field but not on concrete does not count as a ditch.

And most importantly, introduce people to the fun that is AvA...  2 sides and historic planes sets.

[Lusche]

A whole couple of bad proposals, but I'll just pick those two:

That would actually encourage people to stay over own territory and engaging the enmy less often.

And many people do only log in for an hour or so (I have been told there is a real life out there!). I guess they won't be happy when having to spend half of their time sitting in a tower.

Noobs would be punished. Veteran players with their experience can soon afford all the better planes again, while new or casual players will try to have fun flying P40B's vs all that latewar planes. Would hardly be good for buissness

more ships with the TG. perhaps troop carrying ships, destroy them and you can't use the LVTA2. also ammo carrying ships, destroy them and planes can't use rockets, bombs, and torpedoes.

My dream is to fly a real Lockheed P-38 Lightning (though not in combat, excepting mock combat).  I will, however, never have the opportunity to fly a real P-38, and I also probably won't be able to fly any real airplanes anymore.  This game is as close as I can come, and it's a far cry from the real thing.  Do you wonder, then, that I want it closer?

Karnak, you're only correct in that the FW-190 was a good fighter because, among other reasons, of its light pilot workload, and that the P-38 did have a relatively heavy pilot workload (at least until the L model).  That hardly made it a bad fighter, however, you cretin.

That's funny, I don't know what about "Aces High" implies bombers.  There were no aces in bombers.

Fortunately HTC claims AH being the "Internet's Premier WWII Combat Experience" and not "Premier Dogfighting Experience".  

[evenhaim]
