Well, it would be cool to have one base in Turkey. And the distance factor would just have to be calculated in. I mean, for example in Kosovo the A-10's would take off from Goya de Colle or Aviano in Italy, fly over the Adriatic for an hour and a half to get to Kosovo, do a tanker refueling to top off and then ingress to Kosovo to do some damage. So, a long distance is definately do'able for CAS missions. But this scenario just presents two questions 1. who would want to fly for an hour and a half in a game to get knocked out by a SAM once you get to the target area. And 2. would the refueling bug in MP games be fixed if the bases were added?
Food for thought...
