Realistic in-game things I wish to see:
Shock waves on water
Random firestorms (no place is immune to it)
Light pollution
Realistic wake behind large ships (flourescent green wake at night)
Aircraft upgrades to modern era
F-15E AI
B-2A AI
pinpoint ground attack for the A-10 (aside from AGM-65**)
An aircraft capable of SEAD, CAS, CAP, and Intercept all in one nice, neat, flyable plane.
A 2 seater option in-game only available on LAN or internet only.


Unrealistic things I am annoyed with:
Stealth flyables
dominance fighters that are still in the design phase.



STOP THAT!

lol agreed. I like to see some more eye-candy effects like air vapor around the plane when you make a sharp turn or sonic boom. Or some black smoke that occasionally come out of the exhaust. An F-16, 15, and 18 would be nice too, not to mention an Su-35/37. Heck the list could go on.

Bump.

Dito on the SEAD/DEAD stuff. The F-16CJ's do a good job of DEAD but we have no standoff jamming capabilities. EA-6B's or RJ-135's would be nice. It'd also be nice to have E-8 JSTARS to provide updates in a similar format as the AWACS. It'd be bonus if he could do it in a 9-line format.

Since we're on the wish list, it'd be nice to act as mission commander so you could direct assets enroute instead of just in the premission phase. As an A-10 pilot, I could direct the fighters (much like flight/wingman commands already in the game) or SEAD/DEAD for pop-up threats.

Just a thought.

Oh, one more thing, I'd LOVE to see airdrops!!!

My .02, I'd like to see a scalable "percentage of spawning" for enemy aircraft. It was in the old Hornet Korea editor and I really liked the feeling of not knowing whether or not you're gonna get jumped going rtb, for example.

Also, it seems as though the enemy AI knows where I am no matter what so I'd *really* like to get that fixed.
