It is my opinion that closing a MOB will force Jabo to turn another base into a MOB base.
The only pilots done for the night would be any trapped inside the base when it closed.
I don't believe that Pilots would be forced to quit for the evening in this manner. This series is supposed to be about the Luftwaffe scrambling to get out, having to move to another base would seem to fit right in.
This leads to the question of what would be gained by closure of F28? 20 points?

I need to think on this more, I don't want to just follow the expected script and throw us in front of their guns.

Sevastopol is almost impossible to close given the aircraft and numbers. There are many targets there. Probably the most difficult field to close in WBs, more so than even the monsters in the Japan Islands Terrain.

I would do some ship attack testing in the MA if possible. The results will be the same in the S3 as regards to what works on ships.

I did see a good Ju88 attack by gundoc, his AI was to the side in a perfect realistic formation and they both dropped torps twice. If the AI was to the inside a hit would have scored, they missed just forward of the bow. Its important not to overfly the freighter though, you can hit the mast if you come too close so please conduct a realistic torpedo attack.

I did read that the IL2s used the frog attack on shipping. Come in low pull up just before the ship, release your bombs at the same time and at least one would hit. But they were crazy Ivans back then:)

The thing to remember is a small playing field and closing bases and hitting ships is going to be tough. The only way to get the job done is swarm them with escorts to allow the JU88s in.
