Construction Ahead... planning stages

We had desert maps in WBs.  Nobody ever complained...

My personal favorite manual: FM 20.15 Tents and Tent Pitching.  

Hey, anyone else old enough to remember WW2 Surplus pup tents.  Our Boy Scout troop stored them in our shed, so I remember them well.  They were pretty much a bunch of canvas sheets with triangular flaps on each end.  They buttoned one side to another. 

My dad said that each soldier had one half of the tent in his supply pack.  Soldiers would have to bunk with at least one other just to get a full tent.    Mostly, he said they were fortunate enough to find indoor shelter and the tents were mostly used to cover the bombed out windows.  The other deal with them was, in the field they could band a bunch of them together and make a more suitable living quarters with walls included.  They were also issued a wood burning heater with a chimney exhaust.

Nothing so much to do with the tents (although the bumps on the racetrack grounds are tent camps).  Mostly, I thought it resembled somewhat Waffle's vision for new fields.  Also, I thought my Aussie friends in AH should have a field of their own (Camp Doomben, Queensland, Australia).

Grass fields, and ability to bomb craters where you can bump into them would be nice !
Most fields where not paved IRL.

Vehicle spawns should be made so if in gun sight range of enemy vehicles, they move back to next spawn backwards in 3-10 steps, forcing spawn camping to be less effective ( front war).

Those WW2 Surplus pup tents were terrible in the rain. I woke up more than once laying in a sleeping bag full of water. It didn't matter if it was on a hill with a good trench moat, we got soaked. Touch the canvas and you'd better have a pan ready to catch the water.

Even with a good water proofing chemical, I wouldn't waste a match setting one on fire.

Waffle,

I like this this large airfield setup, anyone else..

Maybe you should go back to warbi... Oh right, you can't.

I like anything that spreads the action out. I hope the supply depots have something to do with the strat system, road and convoys and barges and trains and horse-drawn carts and Bloody Peasants with their muck.

If I understand the update being considered correctly it is a "terrain" update not a Physics update. We should all be careful what we ask for, The game play in Aces high is what keeps me coming back not the graphics engine. Sure it would be nice to be able to push trees over and drive and shoot through buildings, but not at the cost of "balancing".
wot and War Thunder has all that and it is stunningly boring gaming the game, game play. I would be all in on a future aces high that pulled in a little "ARMA3" appearance and game play, but just like in the past I really like hi tech's "little steps improvement". The game play is all about the subscribers we play with and I would hate that bunch of guys and gals to change much.

Fixed !

Fixed !

I was here in 2008.  I left and came back.  If Warbirds was viable I would still be THERE.  HTC won by default being the last of the Mohicans....

Warbirds already did this.  When I started there it had better numbers than AH has now.  Less than a decade later it is effectively gone.  That which has been is that which shall be...

Waffle, another thing that came to my mind is can we do something about bomb craters. Today we can take off a field that has bomb crater and not damage our plane. Why can't the bomb craters stay up for 10-15 min and anything that hits thoughs crater depending how fast your going will take damage or even kill yourself. The bomber is then awarded the points. See the logic of one plane dropping lots of 100-250 lb bombs down a runway to shut it down.

 I think this will add some historical value to dropping ords on a runway.


Just a dream of mine.
