For your amusement - an old AH wishlist
« on: February 12, 2015, 11:42:15 AM »
I found this old wish list on an old backup drive.  Its gotta be 4-5 years old - nice to see AH added many of the planes I was hoping for.  The Battle of Britain scenario planeset is filled out pretty nicely now.  I still believe in the value of some of these, others seem trivial.   And the repair hangar was always a hot button; it surfaced independently from time to time in the past.
 


I still think it would be very cool if AH supported seaplanes/floatplanes and added planes like the Rufe, Emily, and Catalina.

Look again, chief!   It's there!

Remember Wolfpack Radio?   Some guy put a bunch of period news broadcasts streamed together with 1940s big band songs.

Regarding the wildlife sounds while on the ground or in a vehicle with engine off - I just went to AH, got in a vehicle drove a bit and shut off the motor, then in the background, I had
this mp3 playing:

http://tjlaven.brinkster.net/ah/16%20-%20Country%20Ambience%20Day1.mp3

It seemed pretty effective.    Imagine sitting there listening to something like that, and then suddenly you hear in the distance the ominous sounds of the approach of enemy tanks.   

Its a royalty-free clip, too.

Dozens and dozens. Its is a abhorred weapon and a horrible wish.

I remember all the He-111 wishes...now that we got it, hanger queen. But in the AvA it's used frequently for our BoB setup. And the Beaufighter - geebus, people wish for that on a monthly basis.

After the yak3 won recently and the very people who voted it in being regularly shot down by one at this time, maybe a non-latewar cannon monster will be voted in.

You forgot to check off the A6M2 and the engine damage sound.

I meant the floatplane version of the A6M2 - the "Rufe" not the "Zeke" - A6M2-N.    Shoulda been more clear.

I didn't know about the damaged engine sound - when did that come in?

We have the Nuke; it's a set of NOE Lancs on HQ 
They're casting their bait over there, see?
