In real life they never were, and when one or two were slightly damaged, they were fixed in a couple of days.

London and surrounding areas were bombed heavily, there was a great deal of damage. I realize BOB was an airwar, but ground objects and landscape were destroyed as well.
When it rained the airfileds were a quagmire of muck and mud. The aircraft looked equally mucked up. The grass was laid flat from rain, etc.
The BOB SOW is just the beginning of a new series like IL2, with addon maps, aircraft, etc. The expansion of war theatres is in the planning as well. What I'm saying is we won't be fighting the BOB for the next 10 years. It would be more immersive to play through the battles in the Ardennes in a muddy, snowy, hostile environment as it really was. The Mediterranean theatre and North Africa, Italy, etc. all had some differences in conidtions,etc.
It would really be a plus, if we had a way to apply muddy and beat up skins to aircraft with little effort. Possibly by just setting the weather conditions the airbases and aircraft skins would be muddy, dark, beat up,etc.
I think about landing and taking off aircraft in the mud and rain, sleet and snow. Sliding around in the muck and mire, and frozen ground in your aircraft would add so much to the feel of what it was like.
Most important is not to be flying in the pristine and beautiful battlegrounds we have in IL2. I'd really like for bad conditions and destruction to be a big part of the experience.
