So, I dunno, was thinking more than is possibly healthy. Here's the thought....

When you capture a base, it degenerates into a single mud airstrip as, territory captured in war isn't usually in great condition after a battle. The longer you hold the base for, the more it generates (the longer you hold the area, the more amenities are available to you), say;
0+ hours - mud strip
4+ hours - small airfield
7+ hours - medium airfield
9+ hours - large airfield

If the field is re-captured it degenerates and the cycle is started again.

i like it..... even though im a H2H er. Do you think that 9 hours is a bit long or do the MA battles for airfields last that long?

sounds good, it should really be considered

What about when you capture a base, say it is in Small Field Stage. Instead of going back to the start, you start with what you captured? Otherwise, going for 9+hours would be imposible for us to get to a Large field. But you could always have fields as just being able to generate from say: Mud/Small, Small/Med, Med/Large...
Would be really nice if we could get the Karelia Terrain V-Bases it would be nice. No more losing troops by a lone Lgay-7...

Just my .02

Hmmm...That is actually an awesome idea... love it!:aok

Would be nice too then if you could use the "scorched earth" stategy when you see you're losing a base.

its a very sexy idea

I think the time needs to be lower no?

The concept of the idea is very interesting. Yet, very cool and it would be great eye candy. In addition, great for scenario events. But I think the time for the airfields would have to be in game time.

I like the overall concept.

Perhaps the time could be as discribed but shortened by resupplying and by resuppying I mean not only fields supplies, but bringing troops to do the additional work and support. Also, certain aircraft could only be supported by certain size fields. The mud field may take 5 minutes to re-arm a aircraft. Where a large field at 100 percent would take 30 seconds.

would make the CM Terrain Team's job hell. For maps like Japan which featured airfields based on real war-time airfields, I'm not sure how much I like the idea of Atsugi Airfield being reduced to dirt and mud.

I wasn't talking about special events arena, just the Late War Arena.

If HTC modeled that it would effect all fields no matter what arena they are in
