true true true gv and air base takes are way harder to make possible (ie getting people to work together) but are VERY succesful
and if you have more Gvs...? :D

I agree with 'Nemisis" on wishing for the creation of new GV's. I also find that the list that was provided is very acceptable. GV's are a very important resource in this game as are various types of aircraft and as such, should be considered to enhance the variety in game play. Personally, I would really like to see HTC add the PanzerV (panther), as well as the Cromwell mk VIII and the A-22 Churchill mk IV, at the very least.

I'd like to see the rest of the GVs updated first.  The Tiger, Panzer, LVTs & M-series vehicles are still old AH1 models.

Then why do we keep getting silly stuff like WW1 even though it was fun fora bit, and no new tanks or planes for MA......
You say its bout aircraft but then add no new planes but ya dont add tanks either.............strange.

I've been in several excellent GV fights only to have them ruined bybomb****ing Lancasters. Hell, I've even seen other countries complain that GV fights were ruined by their fellow countrymen.

Is there spawn camping? Sure. Even during a spawn camp situation, getting into a firing position while taking fire is still a challenge in itself.

As to additional vehicles that could be added with a minimal amount of work...

Stug IV, Jagdpanzer IV/L48, Jagdpanzer IV/L70, Brumbar - are all 'new' vehicles that use the existing Pz IV chassis.

SturmTiger would use Tiger I chassis

M10, M36 both use the existing Sherman suspension and running gear, sponsons and upper hull would have to be modified, but the moving parts are already there.

SU-85, Su-100, Su-122 - all use the existing T-34 chassis.

There's 10 vehicles that could be added using chassis and running gear that's already in game. That means only minor modifications to vehicle performance data, speed, etc., and more than likely, utilize an existing gun sighting system based on existing vehicles.

OK, so an SU-85 has the same gun as the T-34/85. Since it has a limited traverse, don't perk it. Upgrade it to an Su-100, you still have limited traverse, but you've got a better weapon, so perk it for a couple points. Su-122, you got a portable town killer, but not great against against tanks at longer ranges. Some thing with the Stug and Jagdpanzer IV series. Perk the L70...perk the M36, perk the snot out of the Sturmtiger and Brumbar, using them as hangar and town killers.

I want these tanks. More for me to shoot at. :devil

And when I go bomb tard I only bring 1 lancaster. :banana:

Put new ground vehicles new planes. What we need is something to destroy in those tanks and planes. First everybody is flying the new war machine the first week or 2. Evantully everybody says to them selves,forget that plane I'm going back to my old plane. When you have something to destroy you say. I think I'm gonna get some perks or just bring my score up. Even just plan old fun mainly.
 Add some bridges that we can destroy. If you can put mountains that go higher then mount everest you should put some bridges.

I have no idea of the finances that HTC has to work with, but I sure hope that they add more staff if they plan on expanding the WWI arena, hope to continue adding new aircraft, hope to add more gv's, and hope to continue improving the over-all game play and sim experience.  Obviously, if finances are an issue there are talented enough people to volunteer their time to work with modeling aircraft and gv's (not flight models, just the "shells") to take off some of the load, but I've suggested that before and been called "arrogant and foolish" in thinking anyone else in this world could do that besides HTC.

There are already plenty of aircraft to pick from to keep most people satisfied, but historically speaking there are some major holes in the lineup (He111, Beaufighter, Pe-2, Oscar, etc).  The GV section could use a boost in selection, too (but no more late war super machines like the Firefly).

Oh... and lets not even start on fixing many of the current issues with many of the current aircraft, issues that have been backed up with hard data and evidence but yet get passed over.  How about tracked vehicles being able to "zero turn"?  How about matching aircraft performance/abilities with historically accurate data (again, with data that has been presented)?

Skins and maps are already player made in most cases, even the new planes and vehicles we get the skins are player made in a lot of cases. 3D objects and any of the coding will never be released as it is the property of HTC and his livelihood. Think of it as KFC's special recipe, some may imitate it, but they are not going to get the real thing anywhere but at HTC  :D

I think HTC is a small company with few employees because that's the way they like it. They all know each other well and work well together, as well as keeping the code in house available to as few people as possible. This protects their livelihood and makes for a less stressful place to work I'm sure.

People have got to learn a little patience. I'd love to have a few corvettes in my garage, but now just isn't the time so I'll be happy with my Accord. No amount of whining, crying, or complaining on Ebay/used car lots/Chevy dealerships is going to change that and I'm ok with that. Someday I'll have my vette or 2, but not today. The same goes for the game. There are a number of things I'd like to see, but I can be happy with what we have until they get around to adding them.
