just a few thoughts

[99conman]

pilot rescues to keep the perts that one earned in ones last flight conducted by reconnaissance planes or things like PBYS or sunderlands picking up from water and m3s or jeeps on land.

indpendent cruiser and destroyer formations to provide AA support

temporary facility's eg radar, portable air Fields (space permanent ones further apart)

convoys cross to different ports perks given to succeeding convoys country

friendly impact damage eg if i aircraft hits another they both take damage

glioster meteor,sea hurricane,Betty bomber,he 111,do 217,any other axis bombers anyone can think of, gladiator, sordfish, halifax,munchester

v1 bombs and launch pads fired at towns

auto formation if you get several formations of bombers close you can lock them to stay in formation with the elected leader
if one bomber goes afk

wind

failures eg engine fires engine cutout loss of oil pressure

dud bombs

delay bombs

subs and depth charges

I have to say, "no," to pilot rescues. Very simple, if we had the feature the community attitude would degrade even further. Take for example a pilot just got shot down and bailed out. Do you think the pilot who hasn't learned much of the, "honor code," would come onto text saying, "Can anyone in the area pick me up please? If nobody is in the area I'll just ditch." Or would you see text light up with, "Come pick me up NOW!!! This is a SERIOUS ISSUE! OMG!! WHY ARE YOU FLYING AWAY?! COME ON, THIS IS A REAL ISSUE! I HAVE 3 PERKS FROM MY LAST SORTIE! PICK ME UP NOOOOOOOOOWWWW!"

Now, decide which one is more likely. And this is why I would not want pilot recovery options.

"indpendent cruiser and destroyer formations to provide AA support"

Yes to this, it would be nice to have more sea options.

"glioster meteor,sea hurricane,Betty bomber,he 111,do 217 gladiator, sordfish, halifax,munchester"

YES!!!

"v1 bombs and launch pads fired at towns"

Sadly, no. This is because in reality the V1 was highly inaccurate. Also if we get the V1, how long before we see the V2 requests?

"auto formation if you get several formations of bombers close you can lock them to stay in formation with the elected leader
if one bomber goes afk"

I'd have to say, "no," to this as well. This is what makes the game special. People from dial-up speeds all the way to the fastest T-1 users can fly together with minimal lag. And because of it they can all attempt to fly in formation. Besides, we already have, Ctrl + X, Shift + X, and X itself.

"wind"

This we already have, simply isn't enabled.

"failures eg engine fires engine cutout loss of oil pressure"

Certainly.

"dud bombs"

No thanks.

i see what your saying but if that happens theres always the squelch button and he wont be picked up but multiple times i have attack bomber formations and i have lost my engine or i ran out of fuel and couldn't get back to base this feature would stop that from happening

Perks should be considered special. So let's keep it that way by not making them easier to earn.
