Having visited several WWII vintage military installations, I've looked into a few ordnance bunkers. Often, those used to store bombs were made from reinforced concrete, and many were under several feet of earth as well. Day to day ordnance was stored in similar bunkers or in special revetments made with concrete or brick blast walls. These all were very robust structures, for obvious reasons.
In the ETO, at front line airfields (typically that of the 9th AF), ordnance was stored in sand bagged or bulldozed revetments, or in temporary buildings that were similar to any other Nissen type hut used for all purposes. Only the ordnance used that day would be near the field. These storage locations were a safe distance from the airfield proper, and carefully cammo'd to hide them from aerial detection. A centralized bunker complex would supply the fields via truck.
In the game, almost any fighter can destroy the ordnance bunkers with gunfire. This allows one guy to completely change game play with one suicidal fighter run. I think it should be harder to disable ordnance.
My wish is that the bunkers be hardened to require at least the same weight of ordnance as the Vehicle Hanger. Inasmuch as this is simply a map setting, it should require a minimum of effort, assuming HTC agrees with me....
Thanks.
