Please disable bomb drops when on ground.

As for base capture, although there appears no easy solution, if I was setting it up, I'd up the required number of troops needed to take a field, as it seems to me 10 Stormtroopers might be good for sabotaging a bridge or possibly a factory, but 10 truppen would hardly be enough to defend against and defeat an airfield's security force.

Think you're on to something... Maybe it should be scaled. 10 Troops to take a vehicle base. 20 to take a small field or port. 30 to take a medium field, and 40 to take a large base.

Uh oh...  you're posting ideas that make sense!  that's not allowed around here!  

As for carbombing...  Gimme a MG nest spawn option, and you can disable bombs on the ground.  To disable, you'd have to take out the barracks.  You wouldn't be able to launch goons/m3/lvt2 from the base, but you would be able to use ordinance from the newly captured base.  

If you're not willing to flatten the base, just so you can turn around and immediately use it, you need to run some risk in trying to capture it.  just my opinion, tho.  Risk = Reward should go both ways.

The problem is not "car bombing". The problem is guys who would rather get EZ kills than protect the poor sap who is in the M3, LTV, or C47. My Lancaster was vulched about 15 times by Chog's (1 Chog can take out 2 ammo bunkers in one pass with its guns!) They wanted to see kill 12, 13, 14 next to their name and that is all they were concerned about. They let their M3 driver get wacked so they could improve their personal stats.

I think Market Garden involved more than one C-47 and 10 paratroopers, IIRC. But it's been a while since I read the book.  

well at 1st they were 10 but 9 got killed before entering the MAP room ... so the capture failed
