1. 3rd Person Perspective and Hud for ground vehicles
-Allows those of us that are claustrophobic to actually be able to run around in a tank.
2. Ability to give coordinates for long range fleet guns.
-Allows more in-depth action and single-man spotting that can be infinitly more valuable during land and sea combat.
3. AI Base Defense.
-Launch 1 AI per 3 Defending players that will attack incoming bogies. Because this is a short-range purpose, the long range AI would not need to be enabled, only a command that would land the AI after an engagement is over.
4.Ability to BUY perk points.
-More money for you, more access to big planes for us without disrupting the perk system.
5. Cross Compatibility with Xbox360 via XboxLive and Xbox Marketplace.
-Adds a HUGE audience to the game. Voice and Text are already available over Xbox, and the most used controls can be easily mapped to the Xbox 360 Controller.
6. Adjustable map size per Population
-Instead of changing maps all together when the population meets a certain threshold, clip the cell size. For example, when a map changes from population 500 with a 10x10 to 400, clip the map to fit 8x8 cells.
7. Less Airfields.
-Adjust the amount of airfields in a ratio to the amount of players on the server. Something circa 1 airfield : 5 players.

And it is your first post.

So what part don't you get?
Purposes are to consolidate combat space to create a faster environment. That way you dont have to fly for 30 mins before you find action, and then fly 30 mins back to base.

A HUD isn't needed. All the relevant information that you need is already present via the dashboard dials. 3rd person view is just gamey and I see the only reason that it's being asked for is to be able to see the other guy easier.
2. Ability to give coordinates for long range fleet guns.
-Allows more in-depth action and single-man spotting that can be infinitly more valuable during land and sea combat.
Fleet guns already have quasi-feature like this called "Land Mode". It allows you to click on the map and the guns will slave to that target. Though it does help if you have someone acting as a spotter to fine tune the impacting rounds.
3. AI Base Defense.
-Launch 1 AI per 3 Defending players that will attack incoming bogies. Because this is a short-range purpose, the long range AI would not need to be enabled, only a command that would land the AI after an engagement is over.
This has been brought up before and while it is a good idea, one that could be trouble to implement in a PvP centric game such as ours. This is from a discussion in another forum about the use of AI in the game to help balance out the numbers.
It's a good idea but one that is dependent on how the AI is programmed. Unfortunately, in most games the AI "cheats" in order to try and mimic human behavior, which results in the AI being able to do some stuff that a human player couldn't do.
An example is the current AI we have for the offline missions.

4.Ability to BUY perk points.
-More money for you, more access to big planes for us without disrupting the perk system.
Leave the Item Malls to the Asian F2P MMOs. Perks are easily gained in the game without having to buy them, all it does is defeat the purpose of them. Though, I would like to see the ability to wager perks for duels.
5. Cross Compatibility with Xbox360 via XboxLive and Xbox Marketplace.
-Adds a HUGE audience to the game. Voice and Text are already available over Xbox, and the most used controls can be easily mapped to the Xbox 360 Controller.
Not as easy as you think it is. While the API for the Xbox 360 is easier to program for than the PS3, it would still take some work to port over AH to a console. I'd rather have HTC work on improving the core game by updating the terrain, graphics and adding new planes and updated existing ones and keeping this a PC centric game than spending time and valuable development resources to make a console port of AH.
6. Adjustable map size per Population
-Instead of changing maps all together when the population meets a certain threshold, clip the cell size. For example, when a map changes from population 500 with a 10x10 to 400, clip the map to fit 8x8 cells.
With how dynamic the arena population is and the varying numbers that frequently change, this would be rather difficult and the map would always be in a constant state of change as the population increases and decreases. You'd be attacking a base one minute and if for some reason while in the middle of the attack, arena population either suddenly increases or decreases, the map would change while the attack was in progress, possibily eliminating the base that was being attacked.
7. Less Airfields.
-Adjust the amount of airfields in a ratio to the amount of players on the server. Something circa 1 airfield : 5 players.
You'd run into the same problems as the ones for #6. The arena numbers are dynamic and fluctuate constently, airfields that were present when arenas were a certain number might not be there if the numbers decline. Would suck if you were attacking a base only to see if disappear from the map just because the arena population dipped below a certain number.

You never "waste" grammar, all you do when typing like a kindergartner is reinforce bad habbits. Then when you take your English tests you fall back onto your bad habbits, because that is how you are used to writing, and fail the tests. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
Now get to work...

Sure, only if you throw yourself in to the same bag. Honestly, there was nothing wrong with his wish list other than they really don't fit a game of this type. There was no reason for anyone to come down on him at all.

Yep and at least he put some thought into it. And he used decent grammar ! If people are able to play this on a XBox then you'll never need to buy perks !! :) Just shoot them down :t

They port this game to the Xbox crowd and color me gone.
The very last thing this place needs are more eye candy addicted
squeak gamers. If this offends you, then my message has been received.

The Xbox crowd will be dealt with by the hammer of rightous indignation! They will all meet their end horribly. Fire the laza! Lies all lies!

I have a great idea to keep the squeaks out if it if it would hit a console platform. Picture this, your in town and just outside the airfield and you go visit the local strip club. Yes the bar or strip club is missing in the towns but if you were going into battle wouldn't you love to spend some bomber perkies on a cartoon girl named Bambi? Thus giving the game an 18 and over only rating. Sorry been playing beer pong tonight and all this is senseless just like my post. Just thought it would give us something else to spend our bomber perks on.
Another useless reply brought to you by me :devil

To the X-box idea I would have to vote no. People complain enough about lag without introducing another 200-500 (not impossible after a year I don't think) people fur balling on Tuesday.

The option to sell perks I have about 20k total sitting there doing nothing, I would like subscription vouchers, so hard up guys in my squad can still play for free.
The xbox inclusion will help me achieve far more perks for the above and provided xbox users DO NOT have mic or text capabilities you have my full backing on this one too. Otherwise I need to buy shares in Silat's teen squelch program.

1. 3rd Person Perspective and Hud for ground vehicles

Secret to tanking is to
A adjust head position up through hull for wider view.
B Don't drive from drivers position, get it up to speed and switch to top pintle position.
You can steer with rudders. This also works for turret position on Wirble's and Osty's.
2. Ability to give coordinates for long range fleet guns.
-Allows more in-depth action and single-man spotting that can be infinitly more valuable during land and sea combat.
Map squares are 25 miles x 25 miles.
Now visualise your keyboard keypad overlaid on a square. So if the target is in the middle, the coords now would be 10,10,5. Assuming we are looking at the 10,10 sector, 5 tells everyone your in the middle. If you were in the NW corner it would be 10,10,7. If you really need to pin it down more than that, you simply add one more #.
10,10,5,7 would be the NW corner of the center of 10,10 sector.
3. AI Base Defense.
-Launch 1 AI per 3 Defending players that will attack incoming bogies. Because this is a short-range purpose, the long range AI would not need to be enabled, only a command that would land the AI after an engagement is over.
No, everything you see in AH other than the field defense guns is another person.
No need to change that. If you choose to defend, then up. Or not and let them take the field.

Sure, but price them high. Buck a piece.

NOT EVER! We really don't need more of THAT kind here.
We want adults, who are capable of communicating clearly, and acting in a responsible manner.

Possibly someday, but it would take some pretty fancy coading from HT.

Why? That airfield isn't hurting anyone sitting there.

Are you naturally this dense or is it something you put some effort into? Read my original reply to the OP, it pretty much sums up my stance.
