Might as well add HUGE blimps with giant T.V. screens on them like you see at sporting events.
LOL The sponsors may not be ecstatic about their advertisement going down in a ball of flame after someone decides to shoot/bomb/bail onto/or HO the blimp...

EDIT:   In anticipation, sorry Skuzzy :(

EDIT 2:   Increased the size of the required round.  Due to the vast number of posts of this nature, I decided it would be necessary.

EDIT 3:    Sorry if I offend anyone by this, but I do feel that this is necessary.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Let's face it, war or no war, Aces High is a fertile landscape for commercial exploitation.

I therefore propose the following:

Plane-towed banner advertising!

Yes, the kind you see at the beach, towed by small piston-engined planes at speed not exceeding 55 mph. The banners would be paid for by various companies, and since this is the virtual world, the banner ads can be dynamic. Animations, move clips, whatever you want can be displayed on these ads as they are towed through the skies, above battlefields, EVEN THROUGH FURBALLS...

The planes will be vunlerable to fire from all sies of course, so the pilot will have to be careful, but the point will get across.

I see Hitech increasing its revenues by about 300% in the first month alone. Cigarette companies and liquor distilleries will be lining up.

Be warned, however, that I plan to take this idea outside of AH, so get on board now. I'm starting an empire, I am, and I'll take anybody who wants to come along!!


are you retarded?

I think if HTC did this, they ought to hire about 5 more programmers and coders so we can get dang near each and every aircraft we want in about 4 months, 'cept for the B29 of course.

Have one programmer deal with nothing but improving the GV realm (gameplay and more GV's).

Have one programmer deal with nothing but improving the bomber realm.

Have one programmer deal with nothng but stamping out bugs from any and all parts of the game...

and have 2 programmers deal with nothing but developing new aircraft for the game. 

Heck yeah, I'd give $25 a month for that.  Add in another $2000-$4000 a month in advertising revenue and we have ourselves a real progressive game that is constantly improving, not just every 6 mos or so.
