I'd fix the heavy bomber ability to dive bomb and eliminate suicide bombing.

The very nature of the game has changed...originally the entire focus of flight sims was air combat. Yes base capture existed and it helped to frame the parameters of the fight....but 95% of the game WAS fighter on fighter air combat.

No single tweak can or will bring th game back to what many of us really seem to want. A more fundemental decision of some kind is required. Maybe AH II will be a step in a new direction. Realistically the only way to comabt the issue(s) brought up in this thread is to turn up the defensive ack leathality and target hardness. Or expand the low level ack ring out away from base. It's amazing to me how much tougher the defensive fire from a buff formation is vs the field ack. A low level buff formation flying straight and level shouldnt live long enough to pork anything.

I would like to have a fighter town on each map - just like there's a tank town now.

Bases can't be captured...
Ack can't be destroyed - and it's deadly to enemy aircraft in range.

Short flight to the action.

Perhaps fields on 3 peaks - equal distant apart over a canyon... start at 10k.

Then I would like for acks and guns on ships to be destroyable.

Bring back the AW maps - I miss those maps... those were fun.
hills that looked like pyramids...
Named airfields...
Plane factories that could kill the production of the enemy spits.

D9s that were fast!

Ah.... those days were fun.
Spins... does any one get into spins these days?
Perhaps my flying has improved... I never get into spins any more.

So much....

I don't think I want to play an RPG air combat game...

I just want to make things go boom when I shoot at it.

I would change the goal of the game from land capture to attrition of a country's resources (with a plethora of bomber targets that would not be easy to pork, especially by fighters). Many tactical targets, like communication and transportation, would be susceptible to Jabo attacks. Only the center bases would be capturable, but the others could be destroyed for a period of time and brought back to life through resupply.

"So much.... I don't think I want to play an RPG air combat game...

 Looks like we both miss AW.  

 This is not a dig at you Nexus but I wish AW was still around so players that want a simple, no frills "shoot'em up, bomb'em down" game could have stayed with AW and players, such as I, yearning for more realism or something that's not as gamey as AH has come to be.  (There!  Finally an official self acknoleged "old fart's" lament from me)

But that isn't going to happen anytime soon and I'm sure HTC would miss the subscriptions to boot.

 Well.

When does AH-II start?

The least they could do is toss up on the screen some "coming attractions" or a short cartoon clip to keep us entertained (and quiet) until the feature presentation starts....

What would it be?

I would make my planes invincible and have unlimited ammo (or bullets the size of school buses like "someone" did once :) )  ...perhaps then I could land some kills.

Remove the range data from Icons.  They would still display like they do now and the range at which they toggle on would remain but the numbers would be eliminated.  You'd actually have to use the gunsite to determine when your in firing range.
