I think it's enough to have heavies as AI only for 99% of all players.

disagree. Try to fly an online multihour mission (with human navigator onboard and if possible a gunner or two too), its different world, much more team oriented, based on responsibility and certainly not boring.

Agreed on work required, but I think heavy bomber is much more needed than yet another fighter plane(s), gain/effort ratio would be much bigger.

In kind, a static crater "object" would be a great addition.
We are already working on this, but long lasting craters pose big performance hit (what is probably reason for their short duration in game).
