If you want your aircraft fixed in Aces High...

[Mister Fork]

Knowing how busy the boys are with other items, we need to get organized on getting important elements fixed in our favorite hobby.

Since I'm the one opening my big mouth, I would like to take charge of this train, and hope it doesn't runaway from us. I would like to submit a formal list with data to Dale -n- Doug in one lump item.  It a lot easier for them to fix a bunch of items at once, put it all through one QA test, and then release it to the general public.

Lets start off by collecting all the items that need attention.  From that list, I'm going to ask for volunteers to test what is wrong, or do some research, capture the results, and then put it into a fix/modify list.  From that fix list, items are prioritized based on the severity it has on gameplay (ie wanky damage models, missing weapons, etc)

If you would like to contribute to this effort, please reply to this posting with your aircraft, the problem, and how it affects gameplay.  Let's get organized so we can make a proper list that will get the attention it deserves.

Aircraft - Mosquito

Problem - too easy to damage; wierd damage glitches

How it affects gameplay - supposedly "tough" plane is a flying cigarette lighter in AH, less durable than even a Zero.


Aircraft - FW-190F-8

Problem - missing several useful loadout options, particularly 250 kg wing bombs

How it affects gameplay - makes Allies vs Axis setups tough to balance properly


Aircraft - Ki-84

Problem - it isn't currently in AH

How it affects gameplay - Pacific Allies vs Axis setups difficult to balance


Aircraft - F4U-1D/C/-4; FW-190A/F

Problem - cockpit graphics butt ugly

How it affects gameplay - big turnoff to people trying AH for first time

Ta152

-Climb rate
-Max speed
-At high alts @ 400 MPH 1 medium turn will result in you being 200 MPH or less
-Model Gm-1, Mw50
-Wing tanks should only carry 25% for most AH sorites

Fw190A-8

-Trigger grouping should be changable,
-Fuel order should be Ext, Aux, Aft, Fwd
-Mk103 cannons

Fw190 A-5

-Deck speed
-Even when you unselect the Mgff, they are still there, just no ammo in them
-Fuel order should be Ext, Aft, Fwd

Fw190F-8
-No panzer Blitz rockets
-Please review eny value, 25 is just a bit too low
-Fuel order should be Ext, Aux, Aft, Fwd
-Mk103 cannons

Fw190D-9
-Radiator always hit from dead 6 position
-Consider R4M rockets for 190D-9 and 262 pleassseee
-Fuel order should be Ext, Aft, Fwd

Bf109E-4
-Please look at roll rate
-Are the mine rounds modeled for the MgFF cannons? In WW2OL, you see the actuall 20mm round explode in the air, creating a flak puff if it didnt detinate (make contact with enemy aircraft)

Bf109G-2
-Didn't this carry 200 20mm rounds with the 1x20mm 2x7mm option?

Bf109G-6
-This aircraft had many different loadout options (30mm/20mm/13mm), can we have some of the others? (Ie: a later G-6 (/AS maybe) with 30mm (mk108) gondolas

Bf109F-4
-Was their an option for the F-4 to be abve to carry the Gondolas? from what I have read, they didn't carry them

Bf109G-10
-500 Kg bomb

Ju88
-More bomb loadout options please, same for Il-2
-20mm MgFF gondola option

Ar234
-Different load outs
-Better tail gun

C202/205
-Bomb options

Bf110G-2
-37mm option

Bf110C-4
-The tail gun on this plane did have a gunsight like the tail gun on the G-2. In AH we only have a little needle
-Are the mine rounds modeled for the MgFF cannons? In WW2OL, you see the actuall 20mm round explode in the air, creating a flak puff if it didnt detinate (make contact with enemy aircraft)

Il-2
-Different loadouts please

La7
-Has wayyyyy to many postives and few negtaives.

Result on gameplay:
-Rank weenie's ride o' choice
-Piolts with fragle ego's ride of chocie
-Give's you that "I am invincable" feeling too easy
-I know new guys need a crutuch, but this is giving them an electric wheelchair.

Dog out...........

One more thing, Glasses whines to much..

[Glasses]

Looks at Allied Swhiner bait,swims away.

[MANDOBLE]

190D9 Hi speed handling (poor).

Typh Hi speed handling (superb).

[Seagoon]

Bombers:

1) Damage Migration: 1 turret knocked out on 1 plane currently = same turret knocked out on all planes
2) Phantom Damage: Cause a drone engine to leak oil and eventually all 3 planes will loose that same engine entirely --> without showing any damage.
3) Buff Guns now pathetic as is Buff Value

Fighters
1) Seafire IIC range seems to be off. At present it is the same as the Spit Mk V. Actual difference: Spit 5=470 miles, Seafire IIC=755 miles

Everything else I can think of seems to have been covered.

I still don't see why it should be different  

[Turbot]

If you think typhoon hi speed handling is superb, I need introduce you to some the rest of aces high plane set  Typhoon rolls like an overloaded cement mixer.

What Heinkel said, plus:

190D9 - compresses too early.

Luftwabble whining alert mode on

ok get me 2 X 2000lbs for under my p38

Aircraft: Hurricane IID

Problem: 40mm cannon is porked.  The plane throws itself about everywhere making aiming impossible. The recoil should be the same of the 20mm- only difference is that the plane noses down when it shoots.  I can't be sure but i think i remember the cannon being linked to fire at the same time too.

How it affects gameplay: It makes the 4Hurri IID useless- it's easier to kill tanks with 20mm.



I Would add a link to the hurri IID thread but search had been disabled.

[Innominate]

Aircraft:  A-20G

Problem: Missing a gun position!

There were other pictures posted, but the search function isn't working so I can't go find em.

[Wilbus]

Heinkel pretty much said it, can probarly add overall 190 high speed compression though.

Mandoble said it too...
