What I like about FH compared to other mods, from most to least.
Dev team that listens to community.
Atmoshpere no other mod has been able to reach yet.
Playability. Do I even need to mention this?
Every vehicle has its own "personality" (yeah, I know you can't say that about vehicles). There are no similar vehicles and every single one has a different feeling.
Realistic tank sights!
GREAT looking models, that yet no other mods ones are comparable with.
1. Better flight physics. Too many planes are practically impossible to fly in any useful manner. Example: the Sptifire sucks. No way should a P40 fly better than a Spitfire.
2. Better damage areas for planes. Why does debris fly off an enemy plane when you hit the wings, but no damage is done? This sucks. Wing hits can be some of the most damaging: hitting fuel tanks, messing up flight characteristics, and reducing the stress loads a plane can endure. Hits on more areas than the nose/cockpit should register damage.
Everything else is minor in comparison.
I pretty much love everything about FH. Just depends which map I'm on, which side I'm on, and how my team-mates play.
I will ask you again after 0.62.. so I .. or better .. the team knows if 0.62 met your expectations and how your opinions and feelings changed after we release.
oh and IMPORTANT
this is not only about what you wanna see in FH, but also about what your general feeling of FH is, what you think when playing it, what you like what you dont like... a personal overview of FH.
I get annoyed when an M10 or Firefly doesn't knock out what it should knock out, when a Panther doesn't penetrate the frontal armor of a Tiger at close range, when tanks tip over and when a Panther weighs the same as a Tiger in coding.
I think the new damage system sucks. I want something like BG, where you either penetrate or don't, but when you do you should knock it out.
The flight system sucks but this is being fixed, and so is the damage system. So I'm happy there.
Obviously, I want the Pz3. But, since you guys are putting the P4F2 in desert maps as a placeholder that's a MUCH more minor problem.

Explanation: Two percent probability that the miniature organic is simply looking for trouble and needs to be blasted. That may be wishful thinking on my part, master.

Misread (right term?) this first "this is not about what you want to see in fh...". Ok, so if im "allowed" to list features I'd like to see in FH, here goes:

I agree with Artie's tank combat point strongly, this has to be done! One thing I hate is that when you're on uneven ground, the tanks get stuck too easily and if you're perpendicular to a slope the tanks make that annoying squeak, squeak, squeak sound while their sliding down (which they shouldnt BTW)
But the ugliest model (even uglier than the models of vanilla) is the M3 Stuart. That thing is freaking hidious, A talented modeler (AceS, MasterMinder, I'm looking in your directions ) could do wonders to it. Another thing is the stars on american planes, this might seem pointless, but on Wake it just bugs me in a wierd way to see the 1941-42 White star with a red dot mised with the later marking of the white star with the white band on the different planes. Co-ordinate people!

err the white star with a red circle on wake is historically correct.
Not all people hang out in Mommys house hiding from the vagina, pete. Some of us MEN like it.- Beef Flaps
I don't mean that, I know it is correct, but one of the planes (cant remember which) has that, while another has the white star and white band. It was wither wake or midway, I can't remember.
Also, Add AA machineguns to tanks that had them like the rear facing one on the M3 and M10 (gotta open up the top on that too )
Static objects. Maybe some static objects. Then perhaps you could focus in a little more on STATIC OBJECTS.
How I feel about FH in general:
Great mod. Love it, and have ever since it was first announced. The maps are excellent, the tank combat is okay (could use some improvements, see above comments) and the general feel of it is a solid mod.
However, there are some things that still bug me. Little things, mind you, that can easily be fixed by such a talented group:
1. Where's Iwo's black sand from those screenies
2. the corsair on pacific maps jumps while flying
3. Tanks still don't have the right "weight" associated with their corpses
4. Lag. I know some people don't get it, but for the majority of us, there are some performance issues that could stand being taken care of. And maps take FAR too long to load than they should...
Otherwise it's my favorite mod out there!
