So what IS coming in 1.11?

[EvilDingo]

I know side-balancing issues and gameplay problems. There are tons of things that could be added to enhance gameplay, so hopefully this long development cycle will have a lot of new stuff.

I hope the development time was put to good use and we get knocked out with a ton of great new features, but I'm skeptical.

What I HOPE we'll get:

- incentives to join out-numbered countries
- strategic targets for bombers to make them more useful
- Ki.84 (or a slew of new interesting moderately competitive aircraft fo the MA)
- some reason to use a perked ground vehicle
- a customer service dedicated employee who is really nice and clear to everyone. "I don't know about 'X' plane, but I know they've considered it.", "I can understand you're frustrated with 'X' plane's [problem or missing functionality here] but here is why we're not going to [fix problem or missing functionality]."

What I'm expecting we'll get:

- Some great Scenario plane.
- Another scenario plane.
- A scenario plane that might be useful in the MA if it could dive 10,000 feet to catch a Zero.
- A Tiger tank that's fodder to above mentioned scenario planes.
- Some gameplay tweaks

Yeah, that's kind of a exaggeration but I'm frustrated. I really want a reason to keep playing AH.

Some type of ground cover/concealment is pretty vital for this.  I think HiTech said they might add permanent things that vehicles can hide behind and under or whatever in order to conceal their icons from lurking aircraft.

If you check the terrain editor part of BB you will see they are playing around with that already. They are texturing objects to look like treetops and putting them above the terrain 20-30 ft. This way tanks can hide under them like they are concealed in dense woods. There are some devoted map makers and HTC should give them cash incentives instead of the prima dona.

I personally think that only friendly gv's should get icons. This is to ensure that you dont shoot your own team.

1) this solves the instant spot enemy becuase of their icon issue.
2) it is easy to tell what type of GV you are against, with M3 and M16 at long ranges being the tuffest.
3) It would be easier to creat a cover for gv's if they don't have to worry about a 50 foot high icon.
