I would like to see AH evolve into a sim where it is more realistic and have realistic strategy and tactics.The first thing is to get rid of the third country so we could have it like it really was Axis verse Allies.You could fly or GV for the U.S.A. the Brits,Aussies,Russia,and you get the picture.One could chose to fight with the Axis,Germany,Italy,Hungary,Rumania,etc.The idea being similar to WWII online,where you have a front line and the battle ebbs and flows like it would in real life.The fronts would be in Europe or the Pacific.I know this is asking a lot,but I think the game would take a positive turn for enjoying the sim a great deal more.
You could have the same early,mid,and late war arenas.This would be a mix of War Birds,WWII Online,and Fighter Ace.Now comes the part that will bring some negative comments.Right now we have a great flight sim,but the vehicles usage is lacking.More tanks,artillery,infantry etc. would be needed.With only two opponents the bickering over two picking on one chess piece would end.Well planed attacks could be accomplished and we wouldn't have the same old hoards,gang banging,and sneaking bases.I don't see how any one can take pride in taking a base that is not defended.
All this will probably never even come close to being accomplished.I think High Tech likes the three country thing because it brings whining,and negative comments on 200.I have never liked flying a Axis plane against another Axis plane or vice verse for the Allies.War Birds had the right idea,but it failed in a lot of ways.No one wanted to fly for the Allies early,as the early Axis planes kicked but.Later in the month,now the players switch to the allies because they have the better rides now!WWII has the GV'ing down pat,but the air war isn't very good.I say mix them all together,and give us a game that is realistic,and has realistic objectives with all the needed weapons.
I can only play this game as it is for a few weeks,and then I need time off,as it gets annoying doing the same thing over and over.Lets make some good changes are make it a pure flight sim.
