1) Add the acks stats to strat. I know, it shall be a design reason why it is not there, though I can not figure what is it. Anyway, asking on squad channel 10 times if acks are down or not is not much fun. Some time you are lucky to get over the field some friendly who keep you informed on status of field, other day you cant just get any reply. And you need it not only when in goon, but also when in buff (which load to take) in jabo (which alt to grab before aproaching the field) and fighter (same reason).

2) Weather situation in strat. When you grabbing in buff sometime it is hard to tell if weather front covers field or not. It can be resolved simply by adding additional info to strat for field: "Clear skies" or "Cloud at xxxx fts."

3) Make ctrl-1...9 programmable keys, which player can set the sets of commands to. For example, I will programm them to different salvos. When over field you need sometime to switch salvo fast during same run, but it is impossible to do while still in run, because typing command takes too long. Or for LANC with mixed bomb load it will be good to have something like "<backspace> .salvo 5>" to switch from 1 4000lb to 500lbs. I am sure, it can be other use of such command sets.

This would work against the attackers.  Practically, it would make 2-plane (ack buff+goon) sneak attacks impossible.

Ok, here is how it can be solved. Make acks status to be seen only by enemy. So sneak captures still possible and no those "are acks down" questions.
