Command: Modern Operations Tutorial - Disabling an Airfield

In this tutorial we show some of the ways to assign missions to disable and destroy airfields.

Does destroying fuel and ammo supplies now have an effect in the newest build?

Hi, thanks for the instruction. Just wondering if if damaged airfields/harbors will automatically recover after a period of time? If not, how should we do to fix damaged facilities? I cannot locate the function of doing it. Thank you.

Silly question: I'm fairly new with CMO and was wondering how did you build this runway? I've been doing scenarios with the single unit airfields that have everything contained and i've not been able to "break-out" the airfield like in your video. Did you individually put the pieces together and linked them? I feel that would make my scenario building better and allow me to have the AI attack my side as well to make it more challenging. If you have a video on this please direct me there. Finally, awesome video!

You build it piece by piece then group it together as one. Include runway, access point, fuel tanks, parking if some kind and ammo storage.

The MOST frustrating thing in HOI4 is the peace screen.

Thank you for sharing the tutorials. They are enlightening and fun to watch.

great tutorials, keep them coming! You've taught me so much, I can actually enjoy the game more nowadays. Question, so without using stealth aircraft, how would you go about pulling off a "sneak attack" on any airfield (or other targets) to catch them on the ground? Mainly thinking scenarios like Operation Brass Drum for example.

[@PGatcomb]

Low altitude and terrain masking. Try to identify the sensors ranges, find their blind spot, approach at altitude to save fuel then hit the deck right outside their sensor range, cruise in and right at IP hit the afterburners. Use big groups to attack with a logical WRA and then attack all at once instead of piecemeal. A lot of times you can draw enemy CAP away and then do the above to amazing success. Consider weather and time of day also for extra hiding places.

@@PGatcomb Thanks, will try

[@nexus888]

amazing knowledge about this sim. Were you one of the core devs on it? :)

[@PGatcomb]

Nope, I'm still learning like everybody else.

[@cbblackard]

While destroying fuel depots may not matter in terms of disabling an airfield, wouldn’t you still get points in the scenario for doing so?

[@PGatcomb]

Yes, it would depend totally on the scenario designer.
