New Game Mode: Attack/Defend the Airport

I was thinking about something like one of the single player missions that are already in the game: attacking team spawns in air with bombers and escort fighters while the defending team spawns on the airfield and has to intercept the bombers

 

Mission properties(all the values are only hypotetical, exact value will be determined after this discussion and subsequent tests):

  • Total damage from the bombing run will affect the airport capacity (let's say 10 slots lost every 1 ton of TNT). Airport "health" will very slowly regenerate over time (something like 50% of max slots/hour).
  • No AI on the attacking team, so there are some strategy decisions to take: more bombers to inflict more damage or more fighters for an improved protection.
  • Heavy AA defence below the attacking team path, so that the bombers can't just dive and rush the enemy airport and that the escort fighters can't go spawnkilling the defending fighters that are taking off (let's say something like 80% hit accuracy below 2000m, with a rapid accuracy decrease until 3000m where the enemy bombers spawn). The general idea is: "you dive, you die".

 

I think that missions like this will improve the general immersion that the WW provides and will help to differentiate the WW from a generic random battle.

What do you think and what would you change/add?

Talking with some friends we realized that another addition could be that the airfield will be "blocked" for all the duration of the battle.

In case of other "white battles" already in queue, this airfield battle could be triggered instantanously (bypassing the other battles in queue) or it could be simply put in queue after the already queued battles. This second option would mean that either the airport would be "blocked" until the end of the battle or that it would be blocked only when the battle turns from white to yellow (I personally prefer this idea between the two).
