Had this little lightning strike while reading about the Bataan Air Force. Taking off from a field with trees all around does create a challenge, but how to simulate it? Easy, make your entire terrain 35ft ABOVE sea level. Then "sink" the field to create a simulated tree line. With vehicles this does pose a problem, since they can't go up a vertical slope. Instead of giving
every fraggin field a seperate V-base, place one closer to the field and within the sunken area. This would restrict them to defensive ops only, and give you dedicated local air defense.
Maybe create a "ramp" of sorts on one end by gradually sloping the terrain up. This would let you do vehicle ops, but only locally.
This is just a general theory, so tell me what you think.
