One of the harder things to adjust to in AH (coming from AW) was the lack of a dive bomb sight. In AW, all planes have an LCOS dive bomb sight, which of course was horribly incorrect.
Nonetheless, we will hopefully one day see such planes as the Stuka and the Helldiver in AH, and I wonder if we'll see some of the specialised adaptations for the role that some of these planes exhibited.
Many people have postulated that none one would fly the JU87 in the MA as:
1) It wouldn't last five minutes, and
2) There are other planes in the set which make a better Jabo platform
Now, while this is true at the moment, would it still be true if the Stuka were correctly modelled with such things as glass paneled floors, advanced dive bomb sights, automatic dive pull out at 4G on bomb release and I'm sure more stuff that I'm sure I'm ignorant of?
There's similar features in other dive bombers such as dive brakes, siting devices and the like.
Similarly, some late war fighters also had very advanced A2A sighting mechanisms, and certainly I've read many anecdotal accounts proving how important gunsights were in combat right from the Battle of Britain onwards.
Yet in AH gunsights are largely a question of aesthetics.
I'd love to see the ergonomics of the varying design philosphies play a greater part in AH, cockpit design, pilot aids and that sort of thing.
After all, making planes "easy mode" and upping the supplies of fresh faced but competant pilots were (IMNSHO) were two of the allies biggest achivements in WWII.
It helps not to have the Uberplane in your order of battle, if the dammend thing's going to kill half the people flying it, nor if you find that your concepts are so complex it takes three years to train pilots to cope with them, and you've only two years of fight left.....
