If you are gonna wish, WISH BIG!!!

[RipChord929]

Things that would be cool...

Separate amphib assault fleets, w LST's that can spawn 5 gv's....

Shore batts that have 4/14inch dissapearing guns in open pits, with stereoscopic rangefinders...

Manned Antitank guns at towns and Vbases.... PAK40's????

Flak tower in towns, with twin 88's dual purpose guns, AT/puffy ack....

Maps w river crossings.... fords??? and
Bridge supps for building pontoon bridges, 1 supp run, for each pont&span....
That would make for some Gnarly fights!!!

Dumbo/pilot rescue as a scored catagory in the game....
Show what a good guy you are, by saving your buddies kills....

Single Destroyer, like PT boat... (Fubuki class????)

Bail outs from GV's, w tommygun and bazooka w 2shots...

I think these things would all be a BLAST!!!!
They would add new twists, and new action to the game...

Just a few ideas, after all this is the wish list!!!
Civilized comments welcome...

That fluffy bunny ate my plane!

i really do like the pilot rescue aspect. maybe only if they landed behind enemy lines would you get points???

also like the manned ack in towns. bigger ack too.


not totally ridiculous.

We used to have puffy ack in towns (unmanned). They took it out, doubt you'll see it again. I'm glad they did. More of a nuisance of sound than anything else, because puffy ack back then was so ineffective I think I flew for a few months before ever realizing you can get a ding from it.

Same here.  I loved it 

But seriously,

Aces High + PBY + pilot rescue = very happy me

And the whole point of rescuing some one would be?......
Unless you get perk points for it, or if you rescued a squad mate/teammate, your country rank goes up?

[FlyGhost]

you get bomber perks for it(useless) but the rescued pilot doesnt get as many points docked for being captured.   its more for sentimental value.


why do people brings supplies?  they dont get points...

its because the people who need them are their friends.

thats why you would rescue a pilot.

Couldn't they just ditch?... instead of waiting in the water... alone...with sharks... and then re-up?..

[Denholm]

 Let's think of this idea - rescuing a downed pilot - in a different way. Instead of thinking, "this could provide perks which is extra incentive to pick up those guys." Or thinking, "being rescued means you keep the perks you earned on that flight." Let's think of the impact this would have on the AH community.

 Consider newer players who still don't understand anything of the, "honor system." If they were downed and this feature was around, would you hear, "Someone, please pick me up. Just wondering if anyone can, otherwise I'll just ditch." Or would you hear, "YOU MORONS! CAN'T YOU SEE I BAILED OUT?! GET YOUR REARS OVER HERE AND PICK ME UP! I HAVE 3 PERKS ON THE LINE!!!!"

Now which is more likely? The friendlier version, or the more aggressive version?

The funnier one

[Denholm]

Amen.

Because sitting in the water for 15-45 minutes waiting for an extremely vulnerable, very slow flying boat to fly into a combat zone to pick you up and save your score a little damage (it would not change perks, you get those even if killed and you already lost the 1.25 multiplier for a successful landing) sounds like a great way to spend the evening?

[Yossarian]

Yes, well some people (i.e. me when I have a bit of time on my hands) would take break, and fly in our PBYs to places where pilots would soon bail out, and wait.

[RipChord929]

As the game stands now, it is far too easy to reup after you die...
Thats why there are so many guys who bomb and bail...
Also, the "fly till ya die" syndrome, (which I am sometimes guilty of)....

Dieing or bail/capture, should make a much heavier hit on score/rank...
It should put you out of the fight for awhile... or at least on the ground for awhile...

After all, survival is a component of combat, in any type of fight...
Players would act very differently, if death/capture actually had a tangible cost in the game...
Cost to yourself, and to your buddies in the fight....

Interesting thought.... In a pitched battle, victory/defeat hanging by a thread... Your best players
are goin down in droves, on both sides.... If those pilots are not rescued, If they tower/ditch/bail,
they are stuck in GV's for awhile... So, you loose their services in their most valuable capacity...
That could definately shift the tide of battle...

I am a pretty good attack/bomber, and GV guy..... But in fighter, I suck.... I just get clobbered, almost every time...
So, the fighter jocks who give me aircover, (the good ones, not the scorepotatos), are extremely valuable to me...
I would gladly run a dumbo sortie, to pick them up.... Just to keep them flying, and IN the fight....

I realize that this post is futile.... Because furballers don't care about the "Real fights that have real objectives" anyway....
They just go round and round, playin the buttpinchin gotcha game with their furball buddies....
Whatever, they are inconsequential anyway, because they leave themselves out of the fighting that has any meaning to their countrymen...
But it needs to be said again, cuz its true....

Too bad, lots of good pilots in those furballs!!!!
