Make radars impossible...

[Chilli]

lol you should visit Normandy in France : GIs tried Bazooka on some of the German bunkers here, and believe me if a zook didnt hurt a bunker, a .50 wont get more luck ! 

You said "some" bunkers.  Just like with radar towers, AH cartoon engineers may have skimped in order to get so many built. 

Did you view the film?  There were a number of attempts on strafing targets with little success of landing hits, and then there were the occasional hints of strikes and even explosions.  Anyway, HTC has done a remarkable job at providing a strategic platform to gather around and fly or tank in. 

However, until something more engaging comes along, I wouldn't wish to remove any part of the game play, including the things I don't think fit historically, like:
 

• Destroying entire villages to gain access to a military base
• Unlimited lives and planes
• Three sided war
• All planes are available to all sides
• Killing one troop stops the capture attempt coordinated by many

I REPEAT all ya gotta do is shoot the base of the antenna, and it will go down

In WWII, Ordinance was rarely stored in hardened bunkers; especially true in newly established forward bases as the lines changed (after D-Day in the ETO for example).  In DESERT STORM, our bombs were stored in open top revetments.

Isn't there a word, like brisance or bricage or something for the shattering force of explosives that are contained (as in a bunker or bomb casing) till they have decomposed or whatever enough to reach a high pressure that gets released all at once when the container breaks open? I'm assuming this is why you wouldn't want to store bombs in a vault, correct?

Correct; an explosive's brisance is its measured ability to build enough pressure to burst it's container.  Modern day USAF storage areas store 1.1 (class A) explosives in igloos.  The design of their construction has thick concrete walls with thick layers of dirt at the bottom which ensure most of the pressure (in case of a mass detonation) is directed upward

BTW, look up the Medina explosion -  interesting. I have a pic of the actual detonation somewhere; I'll dig it up.

Many reports were the detonation was a nuclear yield, but that was not true.  The detonation, which still today has not been explained (how it happened), was over 100,000 lbs of tritonol (spl?)

I'll find that pic -  it is pretty telling.
