Add more detail to the damage model :)
I would love to see PT boats start to burn and smoke then capsize or sink in the same manner as the CV.
Add secondary explosions (like ammo and fuel) to the the capital ships.
Lose rudder control on a boat (ok that wouldnt mess up any fram rate)
Rearm and refuel the PT's by pulling up next to tankers or the CV
Fuel oil fires on the water that burn after the ship has sunk.
Engine oil spraying on the canopy
Smoke filling the cockpit.. maybe even fire in the cockpit !
crew members falling out of Bombers that have been torn up. (ok so i am a sick bastard)
shell casing ejecting
smoke belching from exsaust when you throttle up full.
Large craters when the big bombs hit that stay up for a while.
Civilian cars trying to escape the towns your attacking (i said i was sick)
oh yea and my personal fav
Naked women swiming near the beaches..

hmm at least Me-109's had a possibility to spray petrol to the windshield if needed AFAIR.

In 'Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe', if your engine became damaged it would spray oil on your windscreen. I think that would be neat to have in AH.
-
In going along with this, I'd like to see a more detailed damage model beyond just graphics. For instance, Aces High only sports two engine states -- functioning and dead. So even when you're shot in the engine, it's an all or nothing deal.
How about varying stages of engine degradation? Perhaps certain types of engine damage lower the maximum RPM without killing the engine outright.
Just some thoughts. :)

I guess I will just hijack my own thread and ask..
has anyone ever thought about a scenario in AH that attempts to recreat the bombing campaigns of the British and American forces. Americans bomb during the day and the Brits at night.
My thought is that it would allow two scnearios to run at the same time on in the American time zone and one in Europe. The scores of the two bombing campaigns would be combined to produce one outcome. I know that the Euros would have smaller numbers, but they fielded smaller forces anyhow.
Anyhow it would allow for the Euros to get some sleep and it would allow for the guys with no lives to fly both scenarios :)
hey I am just an idea man.. someone else can write it up :)

I have to agree with the last point
naked women swimming near the beaches....
should it be perked, or should they be perky?
:D

I want blood.
They could have blood splatters on the instruments so you know right away when you're wounded.
Bailers and paratroops that get shot could have blood spraying out of them too.
AH needs that, and the topless beach girl thing.

have you seen the IL-2 demo ??
it has oil on the windshield, bullet-holes in the cockpit and holes from flak in the wings - you can see the spars ....

when it rains if your the tail end plane on take off it splatters you with mud :)
I kinda like the way the plane slides around on the mud fields too.

Nice idea Krush.
Put me down for an Intruder Mosquito.
Peenemunde would make a good short (two frame) try out.

When CV's were introduced, a few were asking for a bikini-clad babe to be pulled behind the CV (Enemy would be distracted, kill enemy)..HT claimed for awhile that there was a Bikini babe on the bridge of the CV, I still use the zoom and rotate keys every now and then..think he's pulling my chain? ;)

Ok now all we need to do is get Jordi and Aub to write it up..
like I said i am an idea man.. normaly a bad idea man but what the heck :)

There's already an ver.108 approved terrain, we have 9/10ths of the plane set (no Wellingtons or Halifax's for the bomber command role, but we do have the Lanc)
Can you see any probs?

it might take a bit of tweaking to the arena settings to get the right feel for the night fighter radar.
maybe we should take this to the scenario forum and see who is interested :)
