First and foremost;  An update to the strategic system in place with the addition of rail yards, merchant fleets and more trains.  A mix of the old with the current and something new (like that concrete factory ya mentioned that would affect town down times). :D

He-111
Do-17
Do-217
Ju-188
Pe-2
Tu-2
SM 79
Fiat BR.20
Ki-21 Sally/Gwen
G3M Nell
D4Y Judy
B6N Jill
H6K Mavis
H8K Emily
Wellington
Blenheim
Hampden
Beaufighter
B-17 F
TBD Devastator
SB2C Helldiver


EDIT: (Krusty reminded me of something) :aok

Update the Ju-88, Ju-87 (with BK 37's added), C.202 and 205, B-26, Yak 9T and 9U, ALL Hurricanes (why do just one when you can get em all :)), Lancaster, and the B-17 and B-24 (I know these are "up-to-date", but I'd like to see em updated further. :D)

new GV perk system,  maybe the cost is ok, but the payoff for killing high perk tanks is lacking  IMO.

Post by: Krusty on November 28, 2011, 01:06:11 PM
1) G.55
2) He-111
3) remodeled c.205!!! (optional 3.a) DTs on remodeled C.205!!)
4) remodeled hurr1 and 110c (for BOB scenarios)
5) Wellington
6) Halifax (not much dif from Lanc, but for fun)
7) B-25J (glass nose and strafer)
8) Ki-21
9) Blenheim
10) G3M Nell (not much dif from Betty, but for fun)


As you can see, many of those have more than one engine! Although, in lieu of any of these being granted I'll take a stocking full of perks... Say, enough to run 2 full formations of B-29s in the LWA? Enough for a couple 262 sorties? Enough for a slew of Tigr2 sorties?

1. Boomerang, G.55 and IAR-81C.
2. Remodel all the outdated airplanes.
3. While remodeling, might as well throw in F4F-3, F6F-3, Ju-88 fighter version, Ju-87 with 37mm cannons and more ordnance options for the SBD (including rockets and larger wing mounted bombs).
4. Make puffy AI more accurate on level aircraft and less so on maneuvering aircraft.
5. Tracer selection checkbox in the hangar.
6. Add in more GV spawns on existing maps.
7. Change the scale of ENY from (2 - 40) to (2 - 80).  Encourage the use of more of the plane set.
8. Move strat complexes closer to the front and add GV spawns into them.  This is where the fights should be.
9. Separate volume sliders for channel and range vox.
10. Up the lethality of base ack and remove it from the towns.  Discourage vulch/pick fests, while encouraging fighting at the towns.

That should keep HTC busy for two weeks or so.  :)

Post by: Krusty on December 01, 2011, 05:28:10 PM
You might benefit from a little background on those... The Fw200 isn't a bomber. Nor is it a heavy bomber. Nor is it tough or fast. The P-80 doesn't even meet the criteria for HTC's inclusion into the game. The Meteor barely does and wouldn't be much of an addition. The PBY flew much slower than a C-47 and did even less than the Goonie Bird. Of your list the Pe-2 is the only worthy selection (and a good one, at that).


EDIT: Butcher! The 410 won the poll! It's already on its way!

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is something to bomb!  Can we have a new strat system?  PUHHHLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZE?
I promise if you put up a load of new factories that actually mean something to game play that I will bomb them every day!   If you make HQ un-resupplyable, I'll bomb that too!
I promise not to be too mean to the silly boys that will try to climb up the tail of my bombers when I fill them full of holes. 

Sincerely,
EagleCH

PS:  I promise to drop reindeer food too and not fill your sleigh full of .50 cal as it goes by.

Partially correct.  You are correct about the speed but incorrect about the PBY doing "less".  The PBY was vital to the war effort in the PTO throughout the entire war and it's an insult to those PBY crewmen to dismiss the Catalina by claiming it didn't play any significant role during the war.

I think anyone whose ever studied or even read about World War 2 would remember "Strawberry 5" - although its a fake "code name" given to the PBY that found the Japanese Fleet at Midway, never the less most wouldn't realize it was actually one of many Pby's from VP-23  to search that morning.

I find it insulting only that - although it has a very limited role for Aces High, one simply cannot shrug the importance of what the PBY was. I joke their are some aircraft which should be added to the game and some aircraft that should of been already in the game, and the PBY deserves its role.

I can't think of many tools that saved so many pilots - one which includes a former president of united states.

Take a chill pill folks. I didn't say it was insignificant. I didn't say it didn't do anything. You put it in-game and it would do less than a C-47. It doesn't have the role diversity of even a basic goon. We have no pilots floating around at random points to rescue. We have no shipping to attack. We have no seaports. We have no water landing system (and that would require a MAJOR recoding of the game, methinks, there are MANY variables and things to program, tons to compute). It would be a land-based plane that barely flies above stalling speed for most other planes in the game with a meager bomb load and a giant target of a wing with fabric covered construction.



Yeah... That's a winning package. I was never talking about its WW2 history. In WW2 they took a lot of terrible planes and used them in special ways and the end result can be considered a major success, but that doesn't mean the plane's performance or capabilities were all that special. Most pilots formed a permanent love of their earliest most obsolete planes simply because it got them home in 1 piece. Not because it performed well or got them any kills or dropped its bombs on target. Just sayin'.... PBY record in WW2 may be long and courageous, but as far as gameplay goes? This isn't real life, and it will suck as an addition.

Forgot to ask for MANUAL transmissions back in GV's. The view from the commanders position shows which gear you are in so that negates the need for internal views from the drivers position. So, switching back to manual transmissions shouldnt be that hard to change.

ack-ack

a pby spotted the bismark and found nagumoes (not spelled right but sounds it) carriers in battle of midway. besides all the antishipping it did.
+1 for pby id fly her all day... and you could on 25% fuel lol

hunt down the resupplying barges?

Translation: Free kill to whoever ups for ya since they will be able to track you for few minutes before you reach the barges.  Not to mention that the manned 37mm can hit you from the barges spawn point.  They do not spawn very far from the base, since they move so slow (unlike the convoy trucks).  I was thinking more along the lines of what Skyguns MkII was mentioning in his thread.

1) Hurricane update
2) Lancaster update
3) C.202 and C.205 update
4) More convoys/barges/trains possibly running directly to airfields/ports/Vehicle bases
I think HTC should worry about updating and refining what we already have BEFORE introducing new things.

Ki-43 - Probably the most important Japanese plane missing from the set
Ki-44 - Another major player by Japan in the war.
Ki-45 - Japan is missing an appropriate heavy fighter. The last time I flew in a scenario involving Japanese heavy fighters Bf-110Cs were substituted. It's not a real replacement.
J2M - Would offer the Japanese plane set its most competitive design in late-war scenarios
B6N - It would be at least SOMEWHAT more survivable than the Kate
D4Y - Ditto for the Val
F4F-3 - The F4F-4 with 4-gun package is more accurately an FM-1 and not actually a substitute. The F4F-3 was slightly faster, lighter, and had more internal fuel.
TBD - Let's face it, it's just not right having TBMs at Coral Sea, and more than six of them at Midway
SB2C - Main USN bombing platform for end-war scenarios.
B-17F - B-17G is inappropriate for any PTO setup. Plus it would allow famous skins such as Memphis Belle.
B-25J - In both glass and solid-nose 12-gun strafer versions. Most representative B-25, and would offer a somewhat more survivable level bomber option than the C.
An AP mix option for the B-25H's main gun

P-38s could carry a couple 2000lbers as well.

I am not sure I like the idea of increasing bomb loads for fighters.

I would be in favor of limiting fighters to 500lb/250kg bombs, the most common bombs they carried, but having the 1000lb/2000lb/500kg bombs available for perk points.

This was done specifically because some optics WERE less clear than others.

Personally I'd prefer if all aircraft were set to use only their historical gunsights at their correct MIL sizes.

I think that is the way it is, am I wrong?

On a separate note, krusty and saxman, I award you both a lump of coal. 

On the optics... yeah I know, but if I can create a custom gunsite for killing GVs with AT rockets, why must my t34 optics be low quality for "realism"? This one specifically gets me ased up.  Pop or get off the pot is what I say.  Abound realism or cave a bit on some things.

Dear HiTech...

I've been a good crab this year... Please stuff these wishes into my stocking this year...

  • Manual Transmission In Tanks Again
  • New Report System So That You Can Write In Detail WHY You Reported A Person In-Game
  • The Ability To Drive Through Trees "Make Trees Only Decoration And Camoflage, Not Flip 20 Ton Tanks Over"
  • Yak-3
  • Beaufighter
  • Meteor
  • Ability To Make Your Own .Dot Commands "Like a macro"
  • New Maps...
  • The New Version Of The Offline Mission Editor "I Know Its Fixed :D"
  • Perks For Flying In WWI - "Might make it popular - sure it'll attract nothing but perk farmers - but its better than the 2-3 that are in there on average"
  • A Drone Sasquatch To Hunt Spawn Campers

I have more... but brain-farting... again...

  :aok
  No. I beleive they already have a way to see what went on on their own (if memory serves correct)
Kinda. Larger Trees should stop tanks. But not flip them over outright. smaller trees should be able to be knocked down.
  :aok
  Eh..why not
No. Were insignificant in the war Saw no real action cept in shooting down buzz bombs. If allowed should only be available in bases the farthest back such as next to HQ
Much as I loved macros in AW. HT says it simply taxes the sytem too much. or something to that effect
  :aok But you have to design your own. Most MA maps are player designed. Would love to myself, but the currect strat system doesnt support what I have in mind
Gonna need alot more then perks to cure WWI ills. Just not enough there to keep it interesting. Even with perks I suggest some sort of story line complete with missions. Something along the lines of what they were thinking for their Tour of Duty version of AH
Spawns need to be redone outright to hinder camping. Lamest part of the game IMO

I got the idea from this thread from a 2007 Christmas wishlist.  Look how many wishes have been granted.  Impressive  :aok

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,220176.45.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,220176.45.html)

Also, I found a thread where Dale was commenting on how it looses the immersion for him, flying in his cartoon creation, because he sometimes finds things that he would like to change.

Dale and HTC staff  :cheers: Happy Holidays, and thanks for being good all year.  I am certain that each and everyone one of us making a request (including my numerous hair brain schemes) have done so out of a love for something that you had the vision to create in the first place.

Now Dale go and spend some more time with that beautiful wife and adorable chubby cheek future aviator of a daughter.  Same to rest of all of you AH2 gamers, and enjoy your break from Chilli... (I have a feeling he may be back in January with pedals).

Nope. Technically speaking the Ju-88 had the same bombload as a B-17. That doesn't make the Ju88 a heavy, does it? The intent and the role of the bomber was that of medium. The Germans never had a heavy bomber fleet. It wasn't part of their overall doctrine or their war planning mentality.

Thus, wanting a "heavy" German bomber means you wanted nothing! They didn't have them!   :t   :devil

Of course Germany never needed a true heavy bomber outside of the USSR. It would have been a waste of resources on every other front, and so they didn't build them.

They sure could have used them in 1940.

Honestly, the German position on heavy bombers was not that well thought out.  Part of it was simply that having 5000 bombers in inventory looks better than having 3,000 bombers in inventory.

Ranger, my only question is this: Why?

You gain no real advantage by having a manual transmission. It isn't any easier to use, its sometimes quite annoying when you can't controll your tank because you're still moving in neutral with no brake. About all you get in exchange is the super speed when going down gently sloped hills.
