I believe I could build this for you in a custom terrain.  Of course, we need head to head back to get some use out of it.  As far as an official AH map, work by HTC needs done first.  There is a problem with the rivers (always has been) and a bug where if you drive a PT under a bridge, it kills the PT's engines.  Like I said, I can build this for you, but we need H2H back to use it.

I think its a great idea, well thought out and logically sound. The only thing id recommend modifying somehow would be mabey making the VH on each side be able to withstand more punishment then a normal VH. I say this because with only 1 VH on each side, a single plane could come over and drop it.

I don't get why you even typed that, you know it's stupid.

See your point there.  If we are making up new types of bases and new bridges, why not make a "hardened" VH.  But if we are stuck with standard VH's... and lets assume we are, we could add a second VH to each side.  But, if we add a second VH on each side, then while each side can better withstand an attack independently, if you look at the bridge area as a whole, you have 4 VH's in basically one area.  Making it an "uber" Vehicle Base.  It would have to be tested to see how easy or hard to ake it would be.

Also... here is how I thought the "Bridge Bases" would look on the area map.



So each side of the bridge is essentially its own base.  This also brings up the issue of how easy (or hard) they are to take for purposes of determining who has taken enough bases to win the war.  2 options here that I can see:

1) Make them as tough as a standard V Base as far as how hard they are to take.
 
OR

2) Dont count Bridge Bases in the total needed to win.  They provide the means to GET to the bases you need... but they have no overall value in terms of victory totals.

i love the idea :aok   maybe to keep planes from comming in and totally destroying the place (or atleast make it more difficult) maybe put 2 mannable 5 inch AA/AT guns on either side of the river.

This is one of the BEST idea I have come across in along time,   :salute AKP..

This would surely bring more dynamic and WW11 realistic situation to the game   :x

Lets make this happen guys..

We could split a country in two with something like this...   :devil

 :aok We need more ideas like this.

Just my two cents, I would have a Vehicle Base behind the lines with spawns spaced around the bridge areas. If the vehicle hangars are just across the river from each other, it would be too easy to carpet bomb the entire thing and take both sides with no opposition. Make it a long trip for the buffs and keep it a good GV and CAS area.

Also, maybe a mini-supply area in driving distance from the towns with a GV only rearm pad/landing area?

Edit: Also, what's the prize for winning the bridge?

Yea... it would have to be set up so the auto ack guns don't shoot at each other.  And its good to hear you guys all like the idea.  I hope we can get some "official" input on it  :pray
