If any of these ideas from the original poster was implemented, I would never return to Aces High.

I have said this before and I will say it again! All Aces High has to do to really improve membership is just add a few things which couldn't be much trouble to add!
#1- Every see an airport with no aircraft sitting around on the ramp and in the hangars? No
#2- What is wrong with being able to destroy truck convoys resupping bases? Nothing that I can see
#3-How about some clouds in the game that doesn't kill frame rates? Other flight sim's have them, with no cost of frame rates that I can see.
#4- Cutting down on pilot wounds, its getting so you can't get a Spit anywhere around a firing gun without a pilot wound.
#5- Do away with "auto" ack...make all guns manable!
#6- Add an ASRB-17, complete with "Dumbo" life raft for crew of sinking ships. Give perks for successful launching of dumbo within say 1 mile of sinking ship.
#7- Add some "sonar" pings, when in the conning tower of carrier for atmosphere?
#8- Make base able to be captured, if 10 pilots bail and walk to map room, being able to defend ones self with his 45.
#9- Stop ME163 and 262 from being able to shoot down B-29's, they didn't during the war and they shouldn't be able to here!!
#10- Add an "Instructors available" tab on home page of Aces High for new players, and make it able for the new guys to be able to contact them. I will do this at any time, at no charge to anyone.
Can't wait to see the "nay-sayers" comments on this reply!! LOL
