Hotfix related Q: Airfields undestructible?

Post by Frido1207 »

Just noticed this:

In the Bataan scenario (3rd US Cpn sce) I destructed an airfield using my Engineer Unit.
But after the turn resolution, said airfield was fully repaired again.

I started this scenario with version 1.58, but then applied the hotfix ( tm.asp?m=3853578 ),
so I´m running version 1.60 now.

To be sure: If an aircraft lands on an empty airfield that creates a hangar unit. Could it be that you destroyed a hangar and in the next turn the AI landed another aircraft there?

Doesthis mean the airfield is automatically repaired if an air unit lands there?
That kind of makes the destruction meaningless.
I was hoping that an engineer or seabee unit would be required to repair the airfield. Maybe in an update, then.

I destructed my own airfield in the northeast part of the map. Kind of a "scorched earth" tactic to prevent the japanese to use the airfield after I had to abandon that aera. So, no own or enemy aircraft in the hangar, or landing on the airfield.
(Like Erik I presumed, the airfield had to be repaired by an engineer unit after I destructed it.)

Good point, this needs to be fixed so destroyed airfields are not reusable until repaired by an engineer unit.
