Bombing airport in campaign
-
From a test i checked that bombing airport hangar and facilities doen’t intake airplanes and pilot availability…
As soon as the runway is repaired airplanes are able to take of.Which are the true effects of bombing an airport except runway availability?
Thanks

If you disable runway(s) 0%. You can get 0% with others but you have to destroy a lot of them.

You’re right. Aircraft (and aircrews) are not vulnerable unless they’re visible in the 3D world, so they can’t be destroyed by hitting hangers / hardened shelters / barracks. Occasionally you will catch aircraft taxiing, which are generally easy kills. You can hit a base’s runways and shut it down for several hours. This is a very good early objective in most campaigns. The AI will start repairing the base with engineers after a few hours. Fortunately the engineers are pretty squishy…

does it mean that bombing the hangar is a useless practice?

AFAIK a/c’s spawn not inside a HAS or a hangar…
If the sim takes care of destroyed HAS or hangars, I do not know.You can raise spawn delay in the bmsconfig…, (e.g. I have 20 min., default is IIRC 5 min.), that gives you the / or the better possibility to destroy a/c’s on the ground. But AI a/c do not strafe…, only bombing, and/or rockets/missiles.
