Currently most of airfields are built directly in the land cover their coordinates are, but I think treating airfield similar to built-up area is very inaccurate in terms of reality.

Characteristic of airfield area:
�Large paved and possibly hardened ground. most radar signal will be reflected much like on a mirror. Ground units should have speed boost like driving on city road.

�Very little buildings covering the ground. Some big civilian airfields may have large terminal stations, but military airfields tend to hide everything underground. As for near the runway, imaging a stadium like area centered at the runway, having a slope of 3~5 degrees, and 10km in radius, everything near the airfield should be limited inside this virtual stadium. This makes ground units extremely exposed.

I originally post it in General Discussion because it is pretty much an immature idea and not very much of a feature request right now. What is you all's thoughts?
