Which would you rather have, more new aircraft or more realisitic scenery?
-
Neither. I'd rather have all of the AH1/2 standard planes brought up to current standards.
-
More aircraft. The graphics on the ground are just that... scenery. After awhile they become "typical" and are not as eye catching, respectively. I'm very thankful we have the level of detail we do, no need to "upgrade".
I think it would be nice to have about 5-6 of the most glaring holes (see footnotes) in the AH plane set filled, then an all out effort to upgrade the AH1 planes to the new standard. Planes like the Yak, B26, SBD, Ki-61, and a few others make baby jebus cry. :)
** He111, Il-4, Ki-43 Oscar, the turd version of the Buffalo, Beaufighter, D520, MiG-3, and perhaps even the I-15.

Scenery, post processing effects, FX effects, that sort of thing. But I doubt that will be possible or very limited with DX9.
But dang, what'd I give to see something like HBAO, HDR, bloom, dynamic lighting, multiple light sources, better explosions, flames, smoke, mort particles, water droplets flying through clouds, shockwave effects, 4096 textures, destructible terrain, ambient sounds, water that is actually water, new terrain types,snow, desert, tundra, motion blur, vignette, heat haze/distortion effects.

Just remember, can't even handle the clouds first...

Scenery and aircraft are not really a concern to me when we've been using the same maps for years.
More maps I say, but that's just me. :bolt:
-
An update of existing A/C to current, and new planes. :aok

hey bro, do you have an idea about how those effects work programming-wise?

+1...fix what we have
-
Id like to see the bouncy bouncy tanks fixed. :P
Oh yeah and a wider variety of rare/uncommon ordinance loadouts (with varying perk point costs). :devil
-
+1...fix what we have
Agreed.

The AH1 list is getting short, but it is still there:
A-20G
Ar234B
B-26B
B5N2
Bf110C-4b
Bf110G-2
Boston Mk III
C.202
C.205
D3A1
F4F-4
FM2
Ju88A-4
Ki-61-I-Tei
Ki-67
Lancaster Mk III
Me163B
SBD-5
TBM-3
Tempest Mk V
Yak-9T
Yak-9U
Though of AH v2.00 standards, the B-24J and Ki-84-I-Ko could really use a face lift as well.

you forgot rhe Bf 109E-4
-

Not a clue. :D
Buts that's why this is a wish list. :neener:
-
you forgot rhe Bf 109E-4
No I didn't. Bf109E-4 is already at AH2 standards.
-
Id take motre and better maps with a more robust strat system, or just cooler things to shoot like tanks and tankers and more convoys.
-

Not on the outside. Take a close look at the shapes, it's like AH1.5. It's worse than the Ki-84.

Does it have a moving throttle, stick and rudder pedals in the cockpit?
If so it is AH2.0. It doesn't matter what you think of the 3D model (Ki-84's cockpit framing is worse than the original AH1 A6M5's was) it has still been updated.
I would really like the 2048x2048 texture on the cockpit of the Mosquito Mk VI, but I don't get to put it on the list of AH1 models because it lacks that without misrepresenting what the list is.

I know that the moving cockpit features were part of AH2, that's the .5 in the 1.5 I called the 109E. I'd say the old A6M canopy frame was just as bad the the current Ki-84, but the Frank's exterior is far better. Remember the shape of the cowling on the old Zeke? Our Emil is that bad from every angle. You might cosider it updated, but I, and most of the players who give a crap about the exterior models find the Emil simply awful and need of an upgrade. You don't hear much about it though, because it's a MA hangar queen.

The Bf109E-4 was updated at the same time as all of the other Bf109s. This includes its exterior polygons. That it doesn't look good compared to the A6Ms or P-40s is simply an artifact of how long ago the Bf109s were updated. The Fw190s, Spitfires, P-51s, P-47s and P-38s also look very aged in comarison. The single stage Merlin Spitfire's noses are shaped wrong too.
Compare the Ki-84's cowling to the N1K2-J's cowling and you can see that the N1K2-J's has a lot more polygons. The Ki-84 may not be an octagon like the old A6Ms, but it is more angular than the newer radial engined models.
Now go compare the Bf109E-4 to, say, the B-26 or the C.205. The Bf109E-4 is clearly using more polygons.

More aircraft. +1
