It's the hanger in which you select your plane/vehicle.  Not a good idea for it to be destroyed.

Once everything else is destroyed maybe it should be open season on it...

Why?  It has no score. It doesn't effect the game.  It doesn't need to go down to close the base.  So, essentially, it is worthless and accomplishes nothing, so feel free to bomb the crap out of it, the end result is exactly the same, target practice.  Technically, it's already open season on it. Wish Granted :)

I guess you're right. 

I have probably wasted more bombs on that stupid thing than I can count in the distant past.  :rofl

  As far as the program is concerned, why does such a structure need to exist?  Why does the program require that such a structure exists on the field in order for you to be able to select your vehicle?  Is it just a placeholder for that function?  If so, does it need to be visible?

I am asking not just from player's curiosity, but from computer geek curiosity.

Indestructible but not bomb proof looking at the damage and the habit of bombing it during a base take usually kills the gv hiding inside. Kills my gv anyway  :D

@Mongoose: First, I don't know anything about coding. Second, I don't know anything about tactics. Yet, I believe I can answer your questions.

Why does it need to exist? Why not? It's got a function so it has to exist. I'd find it more strange and less immersible to be able to select vehicles in an invisible or non-existing place. It's not a Higgs boson or a Gravitational wave which have to exist based on calculations, but have been actually proved to exist only lately.

If it could be destroyed, there should be some other means to tell that some planes/vehicles aren't available, or that some resources such as bombs or fuel are restricted. It could as well be a grunt carrying a damage report. Or, like in the early text based games, simply a text message telling all that. However, there's much more information in clicking "Hangar" than in the clipboard right click "<field#> status" report that something just has to exist.

I suppose that if the detailed situation report of available resources is tied to a certain object on the field, it'd be easier to make sure every field has it.

Then again, all of the above may just be totally wrong. In that case, read the first two sentences again.

I seem to recall<note as disclaimer< that it is also the endpoint of resupply convoys and a terrain necessity. Have not searched the forum on this, but lately I find it easier to let others that know more to correct me than using the search function.

:airplane: Its for a "moron" to run in there and hide, or so he thinks, to wait on the troops running and then kill them all and be a hero!

Convoys end at a building known as a "depot".  Totally separate from the indestructible.  The hanger just serves as a place to pick your ride & skin.  It neither helps or hurts attackers or defenders.  There is also another building on the field that's indestructible (by default) called the Briefing Room.  It's sole purpose is where you get your initial "briefing" at the beginning of a staged mission.

Why is the indestructible hangar partially destructible?  :noid

Because it is now two different objects, the floor is the actual hangar. The out side shell is something else.

Since the hanger is open for gvs to enter, you need to be able to drop a sack of eggs on their map room camping rear ends.    :)
