Australian Insignia on an Allied aircraft.

Id like to see a change to the fuel in the hangars. If you were flying with 50 and you can now only obtain 25, that it changes it automatically instead of you having to go back into the hangar to do it manually.  Its annoying.

Oh...and an aluminium skinned Mossie :)

S!

Short list:

- more Engine Managment. Make understanding of EM matters and you can gain more power, better fuel efficent & engine lifetime (IL2 FB).

- redone icons: 1. laser range finder must go! 2. enemy plane type info less visible concerning distance. 3. fading icons

- add one or two AHvoice radios more. You could use one for internal squad communication and second for co-operation between squads/tasks.

- hit sprites visibility concerning distance and type of ammo. Hit sprites of HE ammos are much more visible than non HE ammos.

- TrackIR support which co-operate with preset cockpit head positions.

- bring Brewster to the AH2 8-)

Have nice weekend!

 What would I like to see...??

 All of the "land grab/win the war" types migrating, en mass,
 over to "AH  II ", leaving the current AH arenas to those
 of us that wish to engage in AIR combat.

 The name of the "game", after all, IS Aces HIGH, not
 Aces LOW or Aces of the Ground War or Panzer Aces...

 Yes...that is definately what I would like to see.

 Oh...in addition, the "it's been over _xx_ weeks sinnce the
 last patch...when are we going to get ( insert favorite
 obscure aircraft type here ) in AH?" can also go over to AH II.

It is quite predictable that if AHII will be at the start about the european air war,  we can expect more planes and modifications of planes of this time and place. So some american and british heavy birds, some more midwar us/british/german fighters modifications.

It is a best scenario actually. Not only the new textures are the work for artists, but also new dammage model will require new AC models. So it is quite possible, that it may be LESS planes in AHII, than those we have now.

Hmmm...

1.  Ju 52, C47 counterpart

2. Squad Skins, not just Nose art

3. More than 1 pilot can attach to a bomber

4. Lighted Cockpit guages for night flying

5. Weather, prolly too big a FPS hit:(

And a variety of things mentioned above.

This game ain't bad the way it is :)

Post by: acepilot2 on March 09, 2003, 11:30:19 AM
There are 4 things I would really like to see In AH II:

1.  More realistic Bailouts.  Also, after you bail out you could make yourself useful and fire your rifle at something.

2.  The abililty to change skins.  Just like in CFS3, I think you should be able to edit your paint job while playing the game to just make it look cooler or make it match the arena (desert camo, etc.)

3.  A better damage model, in which you can actually see bulletholes.

4.  I really think you should be able to have more than 1 gunner.  You should be able to stuff a bomber with 10 guys, and each gunner would function like a pilot, with the ability to bail out individually.  I think it would also be a good idea to make a new "plane" radio channel which contacts everybody currently inside your plane.

Ah, another one who thinks that pilots really carried rifles in the cockpit...

I think by using the paratrooper model for the bailed pilot, HT came up with better bait than anything I've seen on this bbs.
HT, it was a stroke of pure genius.

A Commonwealth Boomerang. Just because the name sounds cool. I mean really - if the Italians can get 2 planes in AH, why not the Aussies? (rimshot) Of course that was a Pac plane so...

But seriously:

A P39 with Russian markings

Ditto on the realistic bailing (but without the "rifle")

Visual damage on your plane

A perked P47M

Different color icons for each country in the ME (my monitor is too small and my eyes are too bad to deal with the current system)

A korean arena with appropriate types of jet fighters and the B29 (of course if you did the B29, you'd have to also put it in the Melee arena and perk it)

Having your plane decked out in squad colors/markings sounds really cool. Of course every time a new scheme is added you will have to do a new download before entering the game, although it would be relatively small. I wonder how much of a bandwidth hit it would be when the info on what skin to put on the plane that your about to see has to be communicated to your front end via your internet connection? would the engineering investment in this be worth the effort?  conversely, I think having this feature would certainly attract some customers for AH2. I vote yes unless it causes even minor connection issues.

oops on that rifle thing.  Anyways, if any of you have played the original warbirds, you could fire this colt 45 you had.  Basically what I mean is just be able to do anything but stand around after bailouts.  Maybe it will be possible to be a paratrooper, but i am going too far with that considering the fact that this is a game focused around planes, not soldiers.

How about Tigers that dont withstand 5000lbs of ordinance or all the ack on the field shooting at them. I'm pretty sure tigers werent that strong in real life. I dont even think a modern tank could withstand that punishment.

Also, ground targets should be more realistic. For example, a 40mm AP round should take out a fuel tank or an ammo bunker in 1 or 2 hits. I think it takes about 12 hits currently, thats more than a third of the Hurricane MK2D's ammo loadout.

I would like to see the massive Tupolev ANT-6/TB-3 bomber.

It first flew in 1925 and then later modified to carrying a whopping 11000lbs (5000kg) of bombs!!! Nearly 2x the 6000lbs bomb load of the B-17!

It was slow but quite well armed with 4 rear firing guns in 2 pods and 2 forward firing guns in one pod.  The TB-3 flew some of the  bombing raids on berlin in 1941-1942 before being withdrawn from the front lines and relegated to a transport role.

Well (and I know this doesn't have to do with flight) I would like to see units of ground units (mechanised or not) holding and attacking positions, including airfields. One person can control a unit of soldiers from 20 to 100. This would mean a new way of capturing airfields. also these units could be controlled as CV's currently are. You could tell them to defend an airfield or area. I know this makes it sound more like a strategy game but of it like this.

1) Different groups of players will come to AH2 and give HTC more income.
2)A very imortant role of the plane was to destroy ground units. This will make strafing more fun and, unlike the sheep, they will actually die.

Also cities will gain even more importance as recruits for these units will come from cities. Also they will support I'm guessing 4 or 5 units with food and war material. So by bombing a city it will hurt your oponents abilty to field units, and by capturing the city you can field more units, but probably only 1 or 2 as they tend not to fully cooperate.
also imagine units of 20 or so Tigers attacking, or a true artillery barrage on a airfield. The possibilties are endless, and the game will be that much more realistic.
I now this is so new it would take forever to implement, but doesn't it sound fun?


Other than that, could we not have hangers control if we takeoff in that plane or not? can we have them like in an area and u tazi from their to the airstrip, so strafing those planes is also a good idea.

I would appreciate ideas added to this, and constructive arguements. (not "man that idea sucks")

Edit:
This new strategy form will also allow the use of a fluid front.
Also imagine bombing raids on these large groups. You might just annihalate it.
Also you the A.I. can respond to attacks and attack in a realistic strategy. each one knows what to do. Check out http://www.totalwar.com
they can be outfitted separately, some assualt, anti-tank, and even a few snipers(maybe)
also instead of one man controling one unit, he can be in charge of multiple units, adding up to around 5,000 troops I guess, and deploy them as that person sees fit.
I am getting some of my ideas from Medieval: Total  War btw.
Just imagine (anyone who's played MTW) units of soldiers exchanging gunfire in a hilly area with a moderate amount of trees, and Stuka screams divng down dropping it's bombing and shooting the enemy units.
also one man could aim far away artillery and really lay down some fire on your pour enemy soldiers or town.

I really like that troop idea.  While I am kind of uncertain due to the fact this game is listed as a FLIGHT SIMULATOR, it would attract a wider audience.  I think it would be a good idea to be able to control a small squad of 5, maybe.  If anyone has played Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, in some levels you only control ONE person, however there is AI that tags along.  They basically follow you around and shoot any enemy they see.  It would be prettty cool to see this in AH.  You could control 1 person ,but have 4 others follow you around and cover you.  Also, I was just thinking about hitching rides on vehicles, and dropping from a c47 as a troop...

But I am again going to say that this game is aces HIGH. a flight simulator.

You know I like the idea of squads of 5 better as a start of for Aces High, and might just change later as they get good at simulating ground forces like that.
One guy could be sniper, one bazooka, 1 BAR, 1 Thomson, 1 M1.

also it would be easy to implement dropping them from the air as it would be kinda like a gunner, without a gun, that just drops.
You could also carry another group of 5 in an attached glider *hint, hint*.
and a group of 5 goes along nicely with what we already have for our ground war; tanks. So it's either 1 tank or 5 infantry.
also the M3 would be that much more imortant, as you could get troops to an enemy airfield/stronghold and then support them with your .50 cal on top. I can't wait to play this if they implement it. I think it would work better like this as an MOH(or BF1942) type of style would be easier to make than a MTW style would.

And the plane would still be most imoprtant!!!!

Germany

French
D-520 (that should do, not like they flew much)

And how about the ability to place AI tanks/APCs/trucks all over the place so we have some ground traffic to shoot at?

I'd be extraordinarily happy with this list filled. :D

some of them are worthy planes at all (Re2005, G55, P108b), some other have to be included for historical reasons (if there are the Spit I, P40, A6M2, why not some Italian early war bomber?)

(And don't underrate Italian tanks, BenDover, you could have bad surprises! ;) )

I would like to see the game have the ability to pick up a downed pilot. The Kill would be scored for the pilot shooting down the aircraft in all cases. The pilot that successfully bailed could be picked up by either a vehicle or plane and drivin back to base. If he exited there he would recieve a successful landing not a death. It would provide excitement for a pilot risking his life to save a downed commrad. Modeling of Jeeps, PBY's, or J-3's might be interesting and maybe have other roles.

Artilary Pieces.... delivered by Jeeps....  and J-3's used as spotters. Maybe some sort of co ordinate system might be devised for artilery at range. Ammo resupply could be carryied by C-47 or jeeps and stockpiled but only the gun sould be removed and repositioned. The only way to see the results of fire would be from a forward observer. Might be fun ...

No, that Spitfire Mk Va was the all machine gun version.  Only created because Douglas Bader insisted that the cannons were a mistake and he wouldn't fly anything with them (my phrasing of his position).

Nope, he collided with a Bf109 after shooting two others down on August 9, 1941. He bailed out and was captured.  He was flyoing a Spitfire Mk Va at the time.

Make no mistakes, "Tin Legs" Bader was a great pilot, 23 kills

Late in the production run of F6F-5s Grumman installed two 20mm cannon.  These were NOT night-fighters.  Some of these aircraft were used in naval reserve units as late as 1947.  If AH saw fit to model the F4U-1C, which had a production run of only 300, then why not model these late-model Hellcats?  They could be perked fairly heavily because of their rarity.

Customized skins would be nice...but I can see where they could cause some programmiing problems.

A more realistic damage model is DEFINITELY needed.

A more complex terrain, offering more cover for tank battles.  The current terrains are very open and heavily favor the heavier and more powerful German tanks.

As a downed pilot, it would be pretty cool to be able to fire a colt45...

Gliders.  These would be pretty cool.  You can double the c47's troop load by attaching a glider to the back.  While it would slow down the plane, you could get more troops...

We already have a cargo plane that is capable of dropping both troops and cargo.


Boxcar troops...do you mean like troops that pop out of a train?  While that would be cool, it would be hard to make that work because there aren't too many railroad tracks that drive straight into enemy territory.  However, I am a pretty stupid person and you probably mean something else.

Title: Add the two last biplanes fighters
Post by: cup on April 25, 2003, 01:08:40 PM
The Gloster Gladiator and the Fiat CR.42 would make an interesting addition to the early war plane set.  

The Gladiator equipped 13 of the 35 Fighter Command squadrons at the beginning of the war, 2 squadrons served in France and 1 took part during the Battle of Britain.  They continued serving in Africa and the Mediterranean until 1941.

The Fiat CR.42 was built from 1939 to 1943 (total of 1781).  It fought in various theaters an against the Gladiators in North Africa.

I think it would be interesting to have a biplane vs biplane missions and/or snapshot.

I'd like to see an expanded a/c inventory for use during scenarios and other spec. events, instead of ad libbing a/c types. This sim is well beyond early air warrior versions, and scenarios ought to have use of appropriate a/c types for scenarios.
The a/c types wouldn't have to be available for general arena use, just for special events.

I'd also like to see more accurate modeling for a/c types. I read books about RL a/c types and their technical specifications, and almost always say to myself: "hey! I fly the _ _ _ in AH, and I don't get near that rate of climb!"

I also expect that there were way too many variations developed amongst all of the WW2 combatants to reasonably develop in AH but, pick one, (perhaps the best middle ground type) develop it, and stick with it :).

Finally, avoid the Uber types in GVz and a/c; they will only attract dweebs and those who need some kind of superiority; I figure if a guy/gal is that good, then have em prove it in the same a/c as everyone else; IMO then the compliments are truly deserved ;)
In an arena with so many, it would be awkward to gameplay if there were a Spit XXII available (at no matter what the cost) when the majority of people are flying period a/c.
Pwerhaps have a "what If" arena where folks could live out their fantasies flying all the experimental a/c they can get their fill of.

Post by: Kweassa on April 28, 2003, 09:36:56 PM
I would like to see a 'road network' on the terrains.

 This one time, I sort of started fantasizing about possible improvements on the strat system - the ideas started flying out, and I couldn't control myself :)

 It first began when I had spawned from a VH to a nearby town. The distance wasn't too far, but the problem was that it was a slanted hill which led towards the direction of the town. Since a 25mph Panzer can go at about only 10~15mph if it has to run slanted, I began complaining how silly that was.. "Geez, what ignoramus would run his tank through hills that had not any roads!"

 Then it hit me. I remember playing the Simcity series, and how it handled road placements. Laying out a road, when the road has to be placed along the slope of a hill, it would level the terrain out. So I was thinking "Hey, would there be any reason this feature would not be feasible to AH?".

 The problem is that currently in the terrain editor, a 'road' is a special type of terrain interface related only with the strat resupplying system. Another problem is that to 'simulate' a road for GVs, the terrain designer would have to create a certain amount of level terrain conditions all manually before placing a GV spawn point. If the GV spawn is just placed according to its sectoral position after creating the terrain, in many cases there would be troublesome spawn points which has many problems -  good in distance, but when someone actually uses it, very tiring.

 ...

 So how about an easier function/feature to create paved roads, as seen in Simcity?

 When a road is placed along a slope, it would be levelled out. When a road is placed towards a slope, it's elevation angle would be regulated... as suggested in this pic..

 (http://org.fighters.co.kr:9000/caribbean/old_gallery/upload/21171047108710020030429111931.jpg)

 Once it becomes easy to create a wide network of roads, there are variety of possibilities on how it could be utilized to create an even more compelling terrain. For instance, VHs and towns might be placed alongside roads, so it gives an immersive feeling to the ground war - capturing enemy territory, towns and facilities..  following the major roads for advancement.. instead of the four~five zones in Trninty, maybe the zones can be divided into smaller sizes and become more numerous... towns and VHs becoming zone fields which control a few strats linked with three~four fields...

Sounds good! Running on roads in GVs could give a speed bonus, and since there's a possibility that GV missions in TOD will start from home bases, that extra speed would be quite useful..

Anti-Tank mines...  if they weren't visible at least just slightly, all the tankers would be whinin about em. Would prolly only be implimented sparingly.

I like that idea...

In another post I added to an idea about convoys, which would work like cvs except they are made of a bunch of vehicles.  You could spawn troops from there....

Dropping from a c47 would be extremely cool.  I just have been daydreaming things.... it would be awsome to be slowly floating to the ground while hell is breaking out all around you-planes dogfighting, c47s getting shot down, ack firing at you...

If the ability to become a paratrooper is added, I would like to see the whole hook up and equipment check process that happened just minutes before a jump.  I liked in Medal of Honor: allied assault spearhead the first paratrooper jump, except it was way to short, and it was single player.  



Inside planes, I would like to see some great turbulence/vibration effects.  When flak hits a bomber, I believe it should rock wildly, and sometimes the planes should vibrate very faintly, almost like a stutter, because of turbulence.

Yes i guess so...its cool the way a tank turret can fire machine guns or shells, but in the 40s i don't think they had many different firing modes unlike some of our m-16s today which can fire burst, single shot, or grenade launcher.

Exactly what do you mean by different gun choices? I mean what kind of other firing modes are you thinking of?

I think he means rather than just primary (MGs) and secondary (Ord, troops, cargo) it would work another way.

Like...



Main Gun - Joystick (Button)1

2nd Option/Slot (You could assign different things, rockets, bombs) - Joystick2

3rd Option/Slot (same as above ) - Joystick3

etc..



Like that?

There were more of them, but they
are far less effective weapons. The
P47 still has about twice the
destructive capacity as the Hurriance
IIB, even more so given the better
penetration power of .50 rounds.
The Hurricane IIc probably
has a little more destructive power than the P47, though (the US navy
rated the 20mm cannon as destrutive
as 3 .50s).

.303s and 7.9mms are weak, yes... But they're some of the most fun guns to use, make you really work for the kill. The downside is, with the MA gang mentality, any friendly with cannons is gonna thunder in and finish the target off..

Fingers crossed, nme plane goin down.. down... ASSIST! :mad:

I want the "Akagi" Japanese Aircraft Carrier. I hate seeing zeroes (A6M2/5), nikis (N1K2-J), and vals (D3A1) taking off from the Essex Aircraft Carriers.
