Bunker?: yes/no/mabby

  Food for thought. If say 2 or 3 bunkers were placed on the outer edge of the flak envelope on each airfield (and maybe on the vehicle park's) and given sufficient fields of fire to provide 360 degrees coverage, have a 7.5cm pak 40 at gun in it and be "crewable" by a player. Give it sufficient strength to be impervious to ostwind fire capable of taking a 500lb bomb but not a 1000lb and able to absorb a reasonable amount of 7.5cm kwk l48 AP and make them SMALL. Could add an interesting dimension and solve the problem of no tanks to defend the airfield when the Vehicle hanger is down. This also could provide a good smoke target

I like it. We've got the 75L48 gun, and the bunker already. Just got to put them togather  

As it would be, the Pak 48 and 37Flak should have no real effect on it, exception being repeated hits with 75mm AP (kinda like a fuel tank or ammo...good balance) but even small bombs should be capable of taking it out, the bunkers would only fire at medium to close range (under 2k) (putting a need for coordinated air/ground attacks, or at least a panzer coordinating with the Ostwind, or at least some intial prepping)
