It'll only be cool for one side. Any dweeb with 1 or more bombs can render a small airfield useless.
IMO it would poorly affect the gameplay.

IIRC it is already modeled in the game and is possible to do, but it takes like 90,000lb of bombs to take it out, and it only stays down for a few minutes...

Great now we are going to see hordes of squeekers setting up missions to simultaneously drop every runway in the game...  :(

125,000lbs of bombs to kill a runway and it would only be down for one minute. Id love to see hordes a squeakers try to kill them.......more kills for me. :)

If it's anything like mass troop drops, it would probably crash the server.

Unfortunately it wouldn't take a horde.

Just 3 formations of Lancs would do it!
