Lots of great ideas here, I take the liberty to copy my favorite ones (and add an idea or two):

WitP II South Sea Islands full of beautiful girls

Interface: no clicking on each ship to form a big TF – ‘left mouse and drag’ for selecting a row of ships (like selecting lines in Word)

Stacking/loading/unloading limits for ports

Port size-based limits on replenishment of fuel, ammo/torps unless AO/AE present

Repair ports/airfields, on/off toggle.

A/C capacity of bases based on # of engines.

Aviation support based on # of engines.

Player-assignable base supply requirements.

Ability to target a specific task force with air units.

Ability to determine through data screens which cities are producing and which need resources/oil

Stop supply production at resource centres. Supply is produced at hexes with heavy industry

Surface/subsurface combat check for every hex entered

No RR movement into enemy owned hexes

Subdivide the generic supply into - naval supply, air supply, land supply – let player decide share on overall production (e.g. 50% land, 30 % air, 20% naval – with info screen on how much is currently required of each type and how much is currently produced)

better submarine patrol areas

waypoints for TF movement

Bring in Bodhi's tool into the game

Manual accept/do not accept supplies for bases AND LCUs

Each aircraft would be rated for mechanical reliability, that would correlate with operational losses (that would be much higher in this new game)

No auto upgrade to factories – factories becoming damaged when auto-upgrading

Training aircraft to build the pilots pool (no more free pilots, you must allocate planes and train them, when they have enough experience you discharge them in the pilot pool). This should allow players to customize pilot training programs according to necessity.

Options to convert/not convert ships while being built (like the ability to end Shinano as a BB)

Modifyable terrain so you can change a trail to a road or railway (slowly with a great deal of effort)

More flexibility of factory expansions. Curently you just can double them. Why it isn´t possible to expand a factory by only 10% or 20%?

All of the pinup girl screens as standard

An Air Interdiction mission. Hits on LCU's would reduce a % movement gains that day. They would also reduce a % of supplies in the hex.

ASW and air search ‘circles’ on the strategic map for friendly forces – and no naval/asw search over land masses.

The ability to prioritize repairs at ports either by ship or ship type.

Better sorting for leaders for example fighter, bomber, patrol etc.

Some way to know when ships are due for a upgrade other than stepping thru every ship.

If a unit needs attention change the color of the unit in the base, HQ or the button at the top screens. for example if an air group needs pilots or aviation support is to low or a LCU's disruption or fatige is to high.

Do away with respawning of CV and cruisers - you get the historically built ships with their historically intended names

better AI handling of auto supply, better AI in dealing with unexpected human moves, AI not stacking all CV's into one super CV TF with only BB/CA & no DD's as escorts, AI not sending suicide transport missions into enemy air coverage, AI putting up CAP over bases & not sending all fighters on raid leaving base totally undefended.

-Thanks a lot for having elected some of my ideas, but why didn´t you like the event editor/map editor/separate directory for graphic mods???

For the rest - I'm not an artist and I use multiple installs for the different mods.

-That´s, I believe, a big limitation to the widespread use of multiple mods. Each graphic mod will take 1GB from you, at least. With separated subdiretories, 10 or even more mods would take this space. How many mods do you have installed? I´m very interested in the Iron Storm mod, but I already have two installations (one for Nik mod) and I´m a lazy man.
