Forward Airfields
« on: January 25, 2001, 05:09:00 PM »
Is there a way to allow players to create temporary forward airfields?  We could have C-47's carry runway mesh material out to a flat area suitable for a temp airport, and drop the cargo.. after maybe 10 minutes and a dozen or so runs, there could be a nice little forward fighter/vehicle airfield for your country.. a limited number could be available for any one time, and they could only allow say, a certian type of fighers, or cargo aircraft to fly out of them.  Also they could be invisible on the main map, so as to allow sneak attack waves until the base was eliminated at which point it would be permenantly destroyed.  new ones could be built, but only up to a limited number per country.  

Anyone interested in this?  I just think it would allow a more dynamic aspect to the game, and allow players more control over strategy, and would also affect the enemies strategy since they would have new targets in unexpected locations.

Just a thought

Interesting idea!  I'm not sure if this possible within the limits of AH, but it sure is worth looking into.

One possibility would be to have fighter spawn points some miles away from the actual airfields, and those points would have to be "enabled" by cargo drops. This might be easier to implement when considering how the AH terrains are built.

Good Idea CJ, I would like to see some roads and maybe small bridges put in. This way ground assaults can come from a nieboring Island if need be.
