You guys are missing Pyro's point.

The hangar is NOT a simulation of a hangar, or its supplies, or its support staff. Hangars and strats are ONLY ICONS that represent the ability to perform specific in game functions. The barracks aren't barracks or bomb shelters, they're markers for the ability to take bases with attacks launched from that base. Shoot, BASES are only icons for chunks of artificial real estate!

Best keep in mind -- AH is a flight simulator, but a tactical GAME.

^-- read his post.

Realistically, if somebody bombed a shed somewhere, the base still ran missions. Doesn't matter if 1 plane was in that shed, 50+ more were dispersed in the trees, armored bunkers, scattered so widely that bombing 1 would not damage the other, etc.

Historically nobody ever put a field out of commission by dropping a bomb on a single building.


This is just an element of gameplay. I guess it's too hard to capture a field with the hangars up.


P.S. Capturing fields is also just a gameplay element! It's not MEANT to be historic!

If anything the ord amount should be raised. Personally I think it is fine where it is. You get a set of lancs or 3 and you take down multi-fields.
