Aircraft Tunnels
« on: October 27, 2009, 03:26:17 PM »
On a few maps, there seems to be some islands with mountains so high that they seem to be higher than Mt. Everest.  Flying in bombers, well, it takes awhile to either climb higher or go around.

I believe the Bishop, Knight, and Rook Corps of Engineers can blast some big tunnels through the mountains to allow a bomber pod access.

Maybe not the most high-priority wish in the world, but AN AWESOME IDEA! I LOVE IT  :rock

It would save many hours of flying :)
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

Apparently they already have them at the P-38 size.  But only when you are flying Knights!

Apparently they DID have tunnels for planes in WW2. :O

Here is what appears to be some sort of documentry on the subject.

I guess some people just have to see to believe.

Would these be the same engineers that allow trees to grow in line with runways, put airfields in bowls where only the best bomber pilots can launch in such a way to acquire their drones without wiping out a few herds of squirrels, and reinforced shrubbery to the point where it will stop a multi-ton GV dead in its tracks?

No thanks.  Visions of Wyle E. Coyote, a bucket of paint, and a rock wall come vividly to mind...
