(Wiah) I would like to see an airfield that was just a field for take off and landing. Kind of like the fields one see's in original films of WW 2. It could be in light green like the one beside the PSP runway. I think one here and there would be very good. It could be in the small airfield in between the hanger's and other stuff.
(At least I'm not wishing for an airplane)
Germans had a lot of airfields that were cleared pastures with hangers to one side or in a localized area. During BoB Britain had dispersed feilds that were pastures to have fighters staged around England. As the war progressed Britain built airfields with concrete runways to support bombers and fighter squadrons. Germany had airfields that got bombed and strafed while moving air groups around to address the England based bombing initiative to large cleared pastures. Once located they were not the best place to be when strafed or bombed. Flak towers were one solution for the Germans and the majority of 8th AAF fighters shot down were from AAA fire below 10k.
The actual object for such a field would be built on a 1x1mile square. Then for capture, I suppose the map room could be integral like with a vbase. The spawns on the ground have 8 possible locations becasue of the keypad. If you don't want buildings or a vhanger, or any self defense ack, it would become a suicide field for uppers since it would have an Icon on the map letting everyone know where the suicide field is for easy vulching. Let alone Hitech would probably not make any specific rule against laying down vehicle spawns to those feilds. One T34 would sit in the center of the 1x1 pasture and slaughter everything.
As for adding another runway between the buildings on the small airfield object, why?
I created something like this on BowlMA. Those three tiny vbases in the center caldera have an extra concrete pad next to the tower where the storch spawns. I put it there for the storch and out of fuel jabo to have a place to tower. If you taxi onto it your clipboard turns green and you can do a towering from it. The open grass field in front of each tower is 1mile long becasue it's a landing feild to get to the safe towering concrete pad. It's not a safe place to get a storch out of half the time if a GV sits anywhere line of sight to the tower. I suppose Hitech could enable Brewsters and I16 at them, the grass strip is long enough for a take off run. Doing that I doubt anyone could safely take off or land kills with other Brew and I16 in the air and no huge layout of auto ack and lots of wirbles to protect them. But, until those tiny vbases are captured, which can be executed with only one M3 and it's 50cal, you can spawn unlimited GV and storches since the GV hanger is indestructible. That caldera is one of a kind and the GV's are trapped there which is probably why it was allowed as an exception to the general MA terrain rules.
Are you asking for another version of the small airfield object that is only a 1x1 pasture with a tower, no map room, no auto ack, no GV hanger? You didn't even mention if it's a capture able field? There is a requirement for 2-3 un-capture able feilds on MA terrains that are near by to the HQ. Hitech would not allow me to include those mini GV bases in the central caldera on BowlMA as one of the three required for each country.
