AIR BASE

Primary aviation deployment hub supporting rotary-wing aircraft, fighters and strategic bombers. Five infrastructure tiers raise structural health from 10 to 30 HP, increase local resource yield from +5% to +25%, and open progressively more advanced aviation assets.

[ OPERATIONAL BLUEPRINT ]

Airpower Network

Aviation Hub

Supports rotary-wing aircraft, fighters and strategic bombers through progressively higher infrastructure tiers.

Ferry Network

Intermediate Air Bases can act as stepping stones for aircraft transfers when a direct cross-theater movement exceeds operational range.

Placement Doctrine

The supplied strategy recommends important airfields behind the frontline with dedicated air-defense coverage.

[ PREREQUISITES MATRIX ]

Operational Conditions

Day 1

Level 1 has no structural dependency listed and is available from Day 1.

Tiered Aircraft Access

Higher-tier aircraft require progressively higher Air Base infrastructure.

Ferry Station

Air Bases can serve as ferry stations for cross-theater aircraft transfers.

40% HP Rule

The supplied warning states that the facility must remain at or above 40% HP to function.

Local resource yield rises +5% → +10% → +15% → +20% → +25%.

Rare Materials Threshold

Rare Materials are not listed for Levels 1–3. They enter the deployment bill at 500 on Level 4 and rise to 750 on Level 5.

[ STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE ]

Airpower Doctrine

Ferry Network

Intermediate Air Bases act as stepping stones when aircraft cannot cover a full cross-theater transfer in one operational leg.

Tiered Air Access

Every infrastructure tier opens additional aviation assets, culminating in the supplied stealth fighter and stealth bomber access at Level 5.

40% HP Threshold

The source states that dropping below 40% HP traps stationed aircraft on the tarmac and prevents scrambling until repair cycles restore the facility.

Data Separation // Air Base Level ≠ Aircraft Research

Air Base level controls the supplied infrastructure tier, structural HP, local resource yield and listed aviation access. The source separately describes higher-tier aircraft as requiring higher Air Base infrastructure. Build time, deployment costs, ferry functionality and the 40% operational threshold remain independent mechanics rather than one combined score.

Source Note // Hero Copy Mismatch

The source correctly identifies this dossier as Air Base, code BLDG-A03, with five aviation infrastructure tiers. Its original hero paragraph nevertheless describes single-tier aquatic crossing infrastructure and reduced embarkation / airlift duration. That wording conflicts with the explicit Air Base blueprint and progression, so it is not treated here as Air Base mechanics.
