This also opens up special units like a two man sniper unit.  Ah yes, the infamous sniper (which I am NOT).

I want them to remain weak.  Sniper versus infantry squad, the squad should be somewhat stronger.  And it is with their overwhelming firepower.  They just lack finese.  You can also spot the squad easier simply because of its size.

The sniper might get one or two, but it probably won't get them all.  End of the story?  Squad is reduced in size, but wins.

With realisic limits on the numbers of weapons, ie. a squad shouldn't comprise mainly of BAR troops



Yes, I agree.  Rifles could maybe be used as much as needed, but bazookas and machine guns could only be used once.

It is optional to go as a squad.  You could fill up an m3 with all of your friends online, plus one driver and a gunner who are all real.  I think there should be some sort of checkpoint system...I don't really know how that would work so don't ask, but you could "save" at a location and come back the next day to it. Inside a c47, I would like to see the whole "hook up and equipment check" process.  Hmm...it would also be realistic and sick humor to see guys flying out of a c47 when the tail gets shot off...;)   Inside a c47, if there is a 3 man squad, ten REAL people could fly in one c47, and their squads can fly in the other two c47s in the formation...i am daydreaming too much and I should wake up... none of this will probably get used, but it certainly would attract a much wider audience and make one cool game....:)

Rather than being able to totally repaint your plane... Whynot just be able to choose between 2 or three skins, maybe more depending on the plane?

Multiple skins would be nice.  I like that idea.

Actually, about the infantry deal..  We aren't going to get BF 1942 or Ghost Recon type graphics. Plus it would be hard to impliment it properly.. I think we should just settle for soldiers duking it out with us placing them to be the only input, even then they'd be hard to use properly unless there were other troops in the area. In the MA, they'd be terribly annoying as people would smother the towns in them before a pending attack, preventing any M3s or C47s to bring toops in unless the entire town is carpet-bombed.. Unles we had NAPALM! Yes, Napalm.

Just sayin, don't get your hopes up for an extravagant first-person shooter.

Guys, you are asking for more than 150+ megabyte game (almost equivalent of IL-2 Sturmovik demo)! 56K users are "NO-GO" for one day downloading AH2.

If you want the graphics to be better than IL-2 or CFS2, then I predict that the size of this game is gonna be 200 to 350 megabytes and the maps are gonna range from 10 to 30 megabytes.

The size of terrains really depends on this wonderfull new Terrain Engine..

Another cool idea = Physical wake/waves. I.e. the wake from a CV would actually effect a PT like real life wake would..  A wave graphic for the shores..

Maybe instead of a near-miss (big) bomb not doing any damage (or very minimal), it could overturn a tank, and most certainly send an M8 or M3 tumbling..

The possibility of landing on your wheels (or tracks) after rolling, leaving you with a damaged turret or a 'crumpled' look, forcing you to RTB..

Rather than a 'stream' of dust behind a GV, make it a cloud, moderately sized billowy dispersing cloud, and the occasional patch of grass and dirt.

Mud! Mud modeled (painted) onto the wheels, tracks, front, and sides of GVs.

There, I've purged my mind for now of these nagging thoughts :)

D'oh, followups.

About the toppled tanks and being able to land right-side-up..

Leave us the option of getting out of the GV to be rescued.

Heres a small thing that i want to add for AH2

Make suicidal attacks work. For example, if you want to "kamikaze" on the aircraft carrier then the carrier should sink. Kamikaze attacks on AH2 should destroy everything from planes, hangars, bunkers, carriers, destroyers, ammo bunkers, fuel bunkers, ect. I would also love to see "Kamikaze" Squadrons form when AH2 comes.

Well... This wouldn't work for a few reasons..

They don't die! That and it'd be incredibly annoying.

An entire mission Kamikazes, porks a field, and just does taht over and over again, rendering many fields useless for a while..


I vote no.
