Ideas.........

[Ack-Ack]

And allow C-47s to be able to use the field.

If you don't keep the base supplied with regular supply drops you run out of
fuel first, then ammo, also the base should not have troops for capturing other
bases.

[Shuffler]

If the "built " base is destroyed completely it goes away. The base would not be resupplied by strats, it would need regular resupply by vehicle or c47.

Possibly only allow covert opperations from said base like vehicles going to a town or strat and leaving timed explosives ala the French Underground.

I like the idea.  I'd say keep it smaller than a current base.  A grass landing strip or whatever that grid stuff was called that they used in WWII to make runways.  Only fighters and goons allowed and re-supplied only by goons otherwise it goes inoperable.  Only fuel and ammo available to the fighters.  No ord, no GV's and only 1 gunpit for defense like on a vb.

OK how about the ability to build an airbase in the game........lets say you and ten of your friends  or a mission go to the hanger fly c47's..."with the new base building supplies".......and land together in enemy territory at a specific destination ..you pop out you field generation supplies and presto! you have a new forward base...the more base building supplies dropped the more estabolish bigger the base.<S> 999000

it's a good idea. could be fun. would be a good source for some great fights too.

                Base-building would definatley put an interesting and entertaining new spin on
                the game. It would certainly encourage alot more team-effort, giving players
                an objective other than,"...Search annnnd-seek and destroy". 

[Shuffler]

I seriously doubt it could be easily implimented but it is an interesting thought.

[Squire]

The Fighting Seabees, I like it, im just not sure how it could be coded.

[Saxman]

I would say fighters only and if you want to use it to attack other bases then you'd have to use heavy fighters.

Light bombers like the SBD and TBM should be available as well, and C-47s as already noted.

Wyld45       I to would like the team building and strategy  aspect of the idea.

weren't b-25's able to use short, and unimproved runways also/?

Wishlist question?????

My question is if your taking supplies to build a base, will there be a mess-hall to feed to troops? 

Just asking

[Spikes]

i think the largest it should get is 1 dirt runway, 1-2 FHs and a VH...few auto acks and a couple manned acks.

You should have to have maybe...2-3 boxes of Airfield supps delivered every hour for the base to stay a base, otherwise it would start to build itself back down (FH "crumbles", etc) or just bomb it to hell.

[1pLUs44]

Put a no build zone around the HQ and only allow GVs to spawn at the new base, that's one way of being able to prevent what you described.

I would hope there would be a long build time, say something like an hour or so (maybe even as long as three hours) to stop the possibility of players landing behind enemy lines, drop their base building supplies, have the base spawn in a couple of minutes and then they're off building another base.  By having a long build time, you force them to defend their 'new base' until it's been built.  It could also serve as a catalyst for some good aerial fights.

Maybe have it start as a re-arm/repair/landing pad?
