Ok what say that these Airfields didnt exist in a vacuum. Lets say between them and between their supporting cities there was a road and railroad network. And between their ports there was a merchant fleet carrying supplies. And lets say on the roads there were trucks and on the railroads there were locomotives and trains. And lets say that there were rivers leading into the land and over them were bridges and on the bridges there were barges and at sea ships. And lets say we could bomb them all!!! Lets face it there are three missions in this game, go bomb an airfield, go bomb a factory/city, and go shoot down guys trying to bomb the aforesaid. Lets add some variety so that in hour five of this game on a boring day, Im still fired up! Ships Trains Trucks and maybe barges? all would have light MG support and would all move. Bridges over the rivers would have flak batteries in support, as would train stations and docks. Hitting these targets would have some effect on the nations economy (say a percent decrease in a repair rate in a random commodity at the bases on either end of the route targeted). Hitting a station would have a longer effect, and hitting a bridge would have the longest effect (or vice versa). In addition, if you add the option of player vehicles having movement bonuses on roads then the bridges being knocked out would effect that as well. This would be a great addition to the game, since the moving factor of the vehicles would add a search element that is lacking unless your looking for a CV. It also would spread the field some more and finally it would give PTs and torpedo planes something a little easier to mess with, a fat tanker rather than a battle fleet! Course you could add the occassional Q Ship! Naturally when you add the submarine then this becomes even better.
