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.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

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:

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

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.

Not a clue.  :D

Buts that's why this is a wish list.  :neener:
