... that I wish Aces High had:

(a) a kill list showing the last 5 guys I shot down and the last guy that shot me down.

(b) bridges over water.

(c) Ki-84 Hayate

(d) aircraft factories that, when killed, deprived that country of that plane.

Of course, you knew the trick to get a spit even though the factory was down, right?:D

"Goober 1 crashed"

"Goober 2 shot down"

" A Kill has been recorded" (Ok that must be a copy right by now)

"You have shot down Goober 2" (which we have)

ie SHAME

I preffered AW's system reports.......our

"experten 3 landed x kills in a uber ride of the flying goobars"

places the wrong emphasis IMO.

I would prefer to have no glory server announcements but announce  the two types of death instead.  

Bring back SHAME

I liked how it asked you if you wanted to keep the film of your flight when it ended..Most times I said no.

My film folder in AH fills up so fast I can't keep track and sometimes I forget film is on and it rolls for 3 flights.

I kind of miss having the option to immediately delete a film after a sortie, but then I had a tendency to delete every film in which I died.  You can learn more reviewing a film of an unsuccessful flight.  What I do miss is how starting and stopping the recorder in flight did not result in multiple film files.  Every flight was one film, no matter how many times to stopped and restarted the film.

I also miss that AW radar that showed EXACTLY how many nme and friendlies were in a sector (remember "block parties"?), then showed the plane type icons before you were in visual range.  I know it was extremely gamey, but you could pick and choose your fights.
