boekie Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 hi guys i was just playing the 3rd mission in the welcome to sicily campaing and something strange happend, i had 2 shermans firing at a concrete bunker and after a few shots there was an explosion and the bunker started to burn. i have been playng combat mission for a few years now and i have never seen this happen before. so i'm wondering is this happend to someone else before or is this some weird glitch or something i am seeing here because i find it very strange that a concrete bunker would burst into flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ammo? Perhaps that bunker was the storeroom for blankets and lantern kerosene? Cordage stored inside to keep dry before being used to build wooden bunkers? In-game, perhaps that was an ammo-dump? I really don't recall, one way or the other, anything about concrete bunker behavior after being knocked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've seen them burn too. I just figured it was the officer's couch - lots of fuel there for a nice long burn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunkers are all full of booze and porn. They'll burn like a backyard grill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but every time I see you post something I always think of the chant "Holman, come down! Holman, come down!" from the movie "The Sand Pebbles" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) boekie, Welcome aboard! Soldiers live in the bunker. They have their combustible packs, which are full of combustibles (spare uniform, socks, tobacco, books, mags or newspaper) plus blankets, bedding, mattresses (made of straw, horsehair or even feathers) and anything similar they can obtain "outside of normal channels." They'll probably have a stove of some sort in there, too, together with fuel. Ammo explodes nicely, as do hand grenades and other toys. Wooden packing crates, cardboard cartons and such are also a ready meal for fire. Think of it this way. If your house were made of concrete and the interior was subjected to instantaneous enormous temperatures, what would happen? On balance, concrete is practically fire immune, but practically everything else will, under the right conditions, burn.
