It gives me a "sad", "sad" feeling to see players leaving the game who have contributed so much to this game! There is another on line sim game which is attracting players because of their graphics, but their aircraft "suck", when compared to Aces High! Some how, some way, someone has to get through to Hi Tech that the graphics system needs to be up graded to a more "realistic" feel when flying in this game.
There are a number of things which could be added to make the game a lot better and deter people from wanting to leave. Example: A Navy PBY4 aircraft assigned to each port, (5) each. The PBY4 would be stealth, would not show up on radar and would show no dar. These of course would be used to locate enemy CV groups and scout ahead on Naval aviation missions posted in the CV groups. They would not be able to be killed by anything except Japanese aircraft, although, I know, some were used in the Atlantic theater, but less keep it simple. This way they would not be "cannon fodder" for 262's and would be useful tools to players in the game.
Aircraft sitting around on ramps and hangars, ground vehicles moving about on bases, maybe even some ground personnel moving about to make it more realistic! More trains moving about on all the different maps to promote more Hvy fighter attacks on same.
Clouds! I know that they are working on this at AH, but if other sim games can have clouds without interfering with ones computer frame rate, then AH can do the same!
Bring back the Curtis C-46 Commando, which AH thought was a C-47 when I first came into the game, only have 3 assigned to any one base, but they would be able to carry 3 boxes of field supplies for base and strat resupply.
How about some "grass" aerodromes, such as those that were in Germany and France and other countries during the WW2 theater of operations. Would be kinda neat to see 10 ME-109's or something similar, taking off, line abreast, just like they did during the WW2 war!
Multi section bridges which can be destroyed and damage points awarded for such?
There is just a ton of things that can be done with this game and without question, would, because of the aircraft modeling, garner the majority of on line sim players.
And it would probably make Hi Tech a "billionaire"!!!! LOL
