Fight 1
Indeed, the deformable terrain wasn't that fun. Artilleries could shoot a hole through the Earth easily. Nice and realistic. I suspect it wouldn't be easy to code and it has graphical issues. Blowing away the snow to reveal... more snow. Paved city blocks would be paved miles deep. Custom storms/weather effects, however, tremendously adds to the atmosphere of the game, and they are versatile. However, I'm not fond at all of the sight, armor and whatever modifiers, as they just overcomplicate the issue and most likely they will turn out to be a coding horror. But still, custom storms.
Fight 2
Both issues are nice, but there can only be one. I vote for the Reload rate on aircraft. Drain weapons are quite a small subset of all weapons, but aircraft is an entire branch on the tech tree. There is no reason this shouldn't get done, as it is a very harsh limit to have only one ReloadRate applied to both bombers and fighters. The issues with the Mig/Yak and Bomber/Fighter are understandable and downgrading the weapons to account for very fast reload cycles would make bombers obsolete and improving weapons to account for longer reload cycles would make the Yak ineffective. This should be resolved.
