Oh man! I wanna command one!!!!!

Dogg, have you always been a Aces High CM Staff Member?

Are we going to get the OS2U Kingfisher Float plane for the Cruiser to be used as a spotter for the 8 inch guns?

It would be neat if there was some way to tie in observation of the shelling with a plot map and with the observer selecting locations on his the plot map, the guns would receive the corrections, yeah it would be an easy mode thing, but since we don't have fire controllers on the cruiser or Stereographic range finders.

Or you could have it that the observer uses his mouse to click on the intended target and have the correction sent to the gunners.

It would take the Naval portion to a whole new level and add another dimension to the game.

Good job! all the same.

The first one will be called the HMS Blackpig
The crew would be
Master Bates
Sea Man Staines
And Roger the cabin Boy ....

Watch out for my B26's.

Anyone notice the plane rails on the end of the Baltimore Class CA?  Could it be...maybe....nah I won't get your hopes up.

[Leayme]

Look up 3 post's from yours

[5PointOh]

I guess thats one person that noticed.

Not going to get a seaplane. For one, historically the plane would be the only thing in the sky, but in this game it would be shot down in half a heartbeat by the 30+ planes furballing around the CV (forget about flying far enough to see where the shells land!), and for two it would require a fundamental code change regarding water and aircraft to incorporate a floatplane into the game.


It's just not going to happen.

OK, Waffle, HTC and staff, now I gotta ask...What other suprises are headed our way? And how big an update is this gonna be? (Download all night?) Awesome job on the surface vessels, btw.

I kinda wonder what we're gonna see next...

T-34/85?

Ki-43?

Me-410?

a task group BB?

seaplanes?

a SAR (Search and Rescue) function, With accompanying aircraft?

[Krusty]

SAR? No. No point. It's not an issue and never will be in this game

Seaplanes? No. Not without a fundamental change to the very game engine itself. All these new planes/ships are changing objects, not the base code itself.

T-34/85? 90% sure that's a "no" -- if they wanted to add that, they'd have added it when they added the T-34/75 we have. It's a new 3rd generation graphics model. Chances are they're updating old models or adding new ones. The T-34 fits neither category, so I think "no" to an upgrade.

Ki-43/Me410/bigger boat: This is totally up in the air. I would think (hypothetically) if they had added a bigger cruiser to the fleet that they'd have showed it off with the rest of the fleet.


It is interesting that this is the biggest update HTC has ever done (aside from AH1 to AH2), and I wonder how far they're planning on going!

At least you guys aren't having the DDDs!
