I took notes on my laptop during the Q&A session. I just haven't had time to put together a synopsis. Sorry, I will try to fill in details later but here's some snippets:
There was a lot of good discussion on the plans for TOD. I have to admit, when it HT first announce TOD, I thought it could mean the end of squads - not good if you are with a great bunch of guys like the mongrels. However, I could envision our squad meeting in the TOD arenas for our squad nights. It sounds like it going to have alot of aspects of the current squad ops scenarios, but not require you to be in a squad.
Regarding planes - Pyro has already indicated in the Special Announcements which planes he is currently working on - in the future they plan to continue to release new planes while updating the existing plane set. Based on comments made, I am guessing that the earlier planesets that have not been updated (e.g 109s) will be updated sooner rather than later.
One key point that was stressed is how much of a rework AHII was. The old graphics engine was past its limits. With the new engine, It seems apparent that we haven't seen anything yet.
I will add more detail later.
Oh, and the Q&A with Robert Shaw was great - real good discussions on initial merge and energy management.
