With the understanding that the Spitfire XII has been a passion of mine for 30+ years and I'd love to have it.

It's not a top ten however with the Spits we have already.  I wouldn't turn it down if AH adds it, but only 100 built and it served from Feb 43-September 44. 

The biggest missing piece is the Beaufighter.  There is no other bird missing from AH that was as big of a player in WW2 as the Beau.  1940-45 and active in every theater of the war outside of the Eastern Front with the Russians.  It's particular abilities fit completely with AH in that it was a fighter, fighter bomber, rocket carrier and torpedo plane.

In terms of armor, I'd love the Panzer III  Considering it being the main German tank during the Blitzkrieg, in Barbarossa and in North Africa, it's a glaring omission.   That being said, it would probably be a hanger queen in the MA as folks want big guns.  For events it would be a wonderful addition.  If it arrived then a comparable British tank would be important.  Most likely the Matilda would fit as again, it was there in France and in North Africa.  It went to the Russians in Lend Lease as well.

1. Change the result of a destroyed HQ (no more dar bar loss)
2. Get the update done
3. Spread the word, we need more players
4. Re-do the bland AH homepage
5. Update the Jurassic AH1 models pronto - the stark contrast with competing game models is not a good thing for AH
6. Increase the frequency of AH2 model updates
7. Improve the Film Viewer (multi color trails, blackouts, saved sounds, saved head positions, and an icon for film recorder's plane)
8. Reduce side switch time
9. Introduce some new planes now and then
10. Change the auto reset on maps to 72 hours

All of the Serie 5 fighters were 1943 aircraft, were fairly similar in performance, and were all outclassed by 1945 ('late war') despite each one being consistently described as 'one of if not the best axis aircraft of the war' for whatever reason (I suppose they probably compared favorably to the Bf 109G-6) which we know was not the case looking at the C.205.
On top of everything the Re 2005 was the slowest, least produced, and ugliest

Just three things:

Artillery that you could spot and barrage from appropriate planes;
A motorcycle that could carry one troop or one gv supply;
Additions/development to/of the WWI arena (there are many things that would come in play here: strat possibilities, spad 7, Gotha, etc. etc. etc.);

Realistically, most upgrades and additions add to game play...so, just keep them coming.

hummmm, the Spitfire XII. is very interesting. I looked it up and it seems to be a speed demon at the lower altitudes. Any way, I've always championed the Re 2005 and the Fiat G55.  Only two Italian birds in the game, what a pity.  :frown:

I'll be happy and content when we get some variety in airfields and how they look.

Front-line fields should look like this.

If you want aircraft down you bomb out aircraft on the ramp.

Hanger spawns should look a bit like this on front-line airfields.

Check out some of the AVA maps, there is a map that has exactly both of what you posted.

Social media can work, but they have to almost build a media storm with it. Right now they should b posting a couple pictures/hints/topic's of possible game play changes a couple times a day. "WE" should be helping be posting on those social media sites and liberally using the hashtag #AcesHigh The more that name pops up the bigger the trend. The bigger the trend the more people look.

It's a full time job and I was glad when we saw they hired someone to do it, but it isn't being used enough. AcesHigh the game site has only 5 tweets this month, Hitech Creations site has none. If your going to use social media, you have to use it.

I'm fairly certain he's point towards the MA, which is the "meat" of the game. :)

If it's something available in the AvA and players desire it then why does the MA have to be 'the meat of the game?' Players can't find the AvA in numbers? Was there a cap placed on the AvA?

If the MA had all the numbers and 16 color maps, no one would be in the AvA. But, lawsy would they whine.
