At least this is what I wish for (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
First of all, a bigger terrain than the current one.
It also should have water, like an ocean in the middle or on one or two sides.
A large part of the terrain should also be canyons and high hillsmountains.
When there is an ocean, there also should be boats, like a CV taskforce (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
This must off course be player controllable.
Each country also should have up to 3 CVs each, so the players either can group their taskforces together or go on their own.
When there is Ocean and boats, there also is a port, or up to 3 ports if we has 3 carrier groups.
These should be possible to capture like the airfields, but only with som kind of a flying boat like the Catalina, or similar plane.
The inflight radar must go, no doubt.
The map wiew must be possible to blow up to the whole screen when in toweror bridge in CV.(Like in WB.)
Then the Captains of the CV can be radaroperators while they are otw with their ships.
If a Captain on a CV group get bored otw to destination, they can leave the command to another who continues the planned mission, in this way they kan take a plane out for a spin if they feel like it, while another is having the command over their taskforce.
Just my 0.2$
Alternate suggestions are welcome (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
PS. The map should NOT be 3 equal areas, but one large map, different all the way.

Different more realistic airfield lay outs.
I.E. Grass Strips, Dirts STrips, PSP Strips. Then the Long/Medium Bomber strips. Then the Full Airfield with Taxi ways, and Long Heavy Bomber Stips, and MEdium Bomber Strips, and Short Quick Fighter strips.
More/Various Acks. No more of the Miracle 40MM we are faces with, 88s BABY!!!! and 20MMs. ANd Some 5" antiaircraft guns.

Spawn the planes in realistic revetments!
(Can you say "taxi?")...okay, make it an option.
Have at least one large airfield per country for the B-29 (hint, hint).
Use to bodies of water, include CVs and other ships with usable ack.
And PLEASE, please, get a HA and P&D arena going with special events.....AcesHigh is suffering from a narrowly restricted sense of play.

What sort of HA could Aces High have with the current planeset? Only a very limited late-war Western ETO as I see it:
Allies: P-51D, Spitfire F.IX, B-17G, B-26B.
Axis: Fw190A-8, Bf109G-10, C.205V.
-
Maybe, but if you broaden it to include all Axis/Allied you get more choice.
Of course, if you use a European terrain your point is valid.
-
It's not so much a HA we need right NOW, since the plane set is somewhat limited. Rather, we HAVE to have a special events arena. There are some good scenario set-ups we COULD to right now, if we had a separate place to do it. Careful mission crafting and real-time ground control has allowed the Tour of Duty series to manage reasonably well, despite the chaos of the MA. However, play-balance has been impossible to achieve in all but 1 of the seven TOD scenarios. We could have done so much more with TOD scenarios if we had a protected environment to run them in.

I asked HT yesterday about an HA arena or something that we could use like an SL for weekend scenarios. He said he would look into it today. But we do need to wait a bit for some early plane (variants).
Be nice to see a Lagg or Mig3 as well as early Spit & Hurri. Even a 38F would have a place here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Ups, I feel my post got of the track there, just getting it back on track (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
What would you like to see in the next terrain ?
I still hope we get some of the things I had in my post on the top of this topic, but I guess I am a tad to optimistic.

I remember HTC saying something about a "terrain editor", would that be along the lines of this thread? Idea: someone submits an editted terrain, shoots it to HTC, they like it, and it becomes the terrain for 1 TOD...

Railroad tracks with Trains,and rivers,and shiny new bridges across those rivers,so I can help wash the coal dust off those trains.
(especially the ones carrying ammo)

Id like to see a desert terrain in one of the special events sometime in the future. I kinda like the current terrain features in the regular arena for the most part. Of course this game is such a step up from Fighter Ace that it wont take much more to please me.
