Given the games unique nature, I do expect that a lot of the players at least have a rudimentary knowledge of WW2 bases.

A WW2 base was typically the home of a group. A bomber group or a fighter group. The group would normally consist of 4 squadrons of 12 aircraft. I do realize that it is beyond the scope to manage 1800 people, but some simplified approach should be doable.

These bases were established by engineer outfits prior to the group arriving. With that in mind I find the games “live off the land” approach a bit immersion breaking. There was an enormous logistics organization supplying these bases.

I would rather wish for the focus to be on managing supply and logistics, and then make up any shortages with perhaps wood for materials when shortages occur.

In this game Hardstands are close to the runway, that was a no-no. Aircraft were dispersed so they could not all be damaged in an air attack.

One save file is historically asking for trouble, also one would wish for saves in a readable format for editing.

My 2 cents...
