Any hints on what 'aesthetic' upgrades we can expect in time, HT?? :)
Beaches?? Better looking explosions or fires?? Ambient fauna? :D Particle effects for hit sprites??
Can we get a sneak-peek preview if anything's scheduled to be implemented soon?? :) :) :)
-
Bird strikes! "You have been killed from Birdstike"
-
Or perhapes hookers on the corners in the towns.:D
-
need some mech warrior type explosions.
those explosions in the xbox latest version of that game totally kick ass.
-
Are sheep considered 'ambient fauna' or 'sexy decorations'?
You guys heard that one about Joc, right?
He went to the doctor thinking he had an STD, but it turns out he was just allergic to wool.
:rofl

Sheepy Sheepy Sheepy!

Well the first thing is that they went from 256x256 bitmaps to 1024x1024. So all the planes have to be skinned at the better quality. And all the terrain tiles, etc.
That will actually cause a bit of an improvement in the overall look.
Alot of the beaches, cliffs (white cliffs of dover on BoB map) etc. will built into the tiles.
But I am also hoping for more 3D objects or control over trees, hedge rows, etc.
Would like to try to redo the ocean also.
-
Be nice when they get the cities etc to look like a bombed out city rather than just squares where there once was a building.
Also when I building explodes it would be cool to see it shatter rather than spin on ot's roof like a top.

Watching the buildings explode in AHII reminds me every time of the Wizard of OZ when Dorothy's house is sucked up in the tornado.
-
LOL someone else said that too. hahhaha
-
No more C64 type fires.
-
SEARCHLIGHTS!!!! Ofcourse we gotta have nights back for THAT to happen.
-
I have to agree with the night combat request. The buildings in the town and on the fields could be lit.
My burning aircraft shooting across the sky would look much more dramatic. :aok
-
Beerstands. We need beerstands.
Glove
-
In time, I bet we will see ground cover much like this or better. Will not be over night, but it will happen.

HE11 ya it would be cool:aok
I'm sure enough of you have seen Band of Brothers by now, there is the scene {which is one of the BEST in the movie} where the paratroopers are in C47's coming into the drop area and the sky is filled with AA fire and exploding/burning aircraft. Now that my friend would be a site to behold in the gaming community.
My 2 cents
-
General troops, civilians, and ground crew that run around when you shoot them.
-
How about when you are on the rearm pad crewmen come out of the shack with the fuel lines and hook up to your plane.
-
MOIL, have you played Call of Duty? That game IS Band of Brothers.

One of the add-ons for MoH had the paradrop thing more accurate to BoB's scene than CoD did. CoD is a much better game overall of course but the paradrop scene in the beginning of the MOH add-on was really cool to look at. CoD stole some scenes right out of Enemy at the Gates too.
-
Moving levers in cockpits.
One of the joys of AH is that we can read the real pilot's handbooks and recognise the performance silhouette of our planes.
One of the joys of IL-2 is reading the pilot's manual and finding out "what does this button do?"
And then using it in game
-
Holy Crap Daddog,
That is awsome. The trees are amazing!!!! Shrubs are great.
-
Was that from WW2OL? The most constantly patched game in history? ;-)
-
HTC should have the platform now........
Tiles and transitions generally can be smartened up but I reckon we have many terrain builders who can help there once the TE is out.
Beaches (seem to be coming)
Better tree/forest shapes.........
Ruins........
Buildings collapsing rather than doing somersaults.............
Better (smaller) fire graphics (not the torpedo shaped fire columns we have)..............
Waves and swell when at sea.........
Muddy rivers and river banks...........
Road and rail eye candy (even if they are not all used for strat trucks and loco's)
-
oh yeah!
We need hospitals, troops ships and sharks.
-
Partical effects can do some really amazing things with fire, smoke, and explosions. Aircraft fires, pyrotechnics.
Love to see a shock wave when bombs hit when flying above an explosion.
-
all these ideas are great for driving out players with stutters and 10 frame rates
-
I thought we lost those losers 2 weeks ago.
If he builds it, I will upgrade...
