Gunner98 -> RE: Beginner - What To Target When Hitting Airfields? (9/8/2016 7:31:28 PM)

It all depends on the target airfield. But you need to do recon and really look at the target set to decide. If you look at some of the Norwegian airbases, the AC are parked under ground and they have a dozen or more access points. Some airfields are tougher than others. Do the recon, understand the vulnerabilities and attack them:
-only one or two ammo storage facilities - go for them first, unless they too are underground
-only one or two access points, like schr75 said, take them out
-minimal and crowded parking - like Willie said, but some bases have dozens or more parking areas so do your recce and only hit the ones with AC on them
-Fuel & base ATC isn't modeled in the game so that vulnerability is not an option but I usually like to strike them as well just for completeness.
Whichever way you chose - you need to chose the right tool for the job:
-If its an underground target and you don't have GBU-28s, don't bother
-It its the Runways get a runway killing bomb (Durandal, BLU-109 etc), same if its a bunker
-If its open parking, a Mk-82 or anything will work but a CBU is the answer to do max damage
-For fuel storage, I like incendiaries - just for fun
Figure you what job you want to do and pick the right tool for the job.
