The idea is to control where an assault would take place. For Cobra to assault the base, they'd have to get vehicles thru the wall. So you either take the gate, or blow a hole thru the wall at one point or multiple.
Taking the gate is no easy task, and if you do take it and get vehicles on the road, it's designed to prevent easy movement thru the base. For example, as soon as you enter the base there are set of the bollards to get over, once over/thru those you go down the main road about 100-150' feet and it takes a sharp right hand turn, the problem is that you're 10' down and rise up the 10' to the main elevation. Once you're up that 10' you have to take another sharp turn to the left. The road is only 30' long, so won't be able to get more then 2 vehicles side by side and turning is impossible with 2 vehicles side by side. So now you're talking about moving a column thru single file with a 10' wall that people can be shooting down at you from.
So you blow thru the wall. Now you have 40' on the outside of the wall and 40' on the inside of the way of completely bare "no-man's land" to get thru. No cover at all for 80'. The inside-base 40' is mined in no discernable pattern. No way to figure out the "safe" routes thru it.
Then there's the "moat". A 15' (only wide enough for one vehicle) driving road that circles the compound.
I'm debating how deep to make this. Right now I have sections at 10' deep. So once over the No-Man's Land you have to get over this 5 or 10 deep, 15' wide, "canyon".
