...
Was it actually that slow to traverse?

Vilkas says that the real thing was much, much faster to move in both azimuth and elevation than the 88 in AH now.

you should not be able to kill radar tower with 20mm < aeroplane guns in the first place.
It would more than a rocket too.

I seem to recall somewhere it was said that HTC coad took into account the differing types of rounds, some of them being inciniary, but as far as WE can SEE the weapon's lethality has components such as armored hard or soft.  Objects have hardness.  I could imagine fuel powered generators, heaters, electrical shortages or wooden and fabric furnishings causing fires in the radar structure.

We see wonderful art work in this game.  I was very impressed when I looked at an old photo of Duxford Field and noticed the suprising resemblence of the tower there to the one in the game.  Also, the HQ building has a great resemblence to one of the Zoo Flak Towers.  With this in mind ammo bunkers as pictured in the game, I would agree would be impenetrable by simple plane rounds.  I could imagine that a lesser structure however may very well be vulnerable to the varying rounds carried in aircraft.  Also, chain reaction explosions from nearby vehicles, debris, electrical shortages ......etc...... (I have a good imagination  cool )

Look familliar?




How about this?
