How do i destroy concrete bunkers?

[NeoOhm]

As the topic say, how?

Flamethrowers probably or grenades.
But can i destroy it with other than that and maybe heavy arty?

I need to crack that nut and circle past it will take to long time.

 

thank you

You can do it with a 155mm but it is costly. The most efficient way is 'letter dropping'. Read dropping HE through the slit in WW2 with a 75mm worked in FB. Letter dropping was used in Korea a 20pounder Centurion did the trick in RL. Engineers can probably do it but in the game I used it only against wooden bunkers. I think in RT the weapon would be a JS2 or an ISU in either 152mm or 122m.

What chuck says, or if all else fails smoke them up and go by.

Thank you!
Great answers.

 

Ill try to smoke them and go full speed with a jeep to then drop flamethrower inf on them.

If you are lacking in HE firepower...

If you don't neccesarely HAVE to destroy it...simply suppress it with a pair of HMGs firing at it from different directions tend to work quite well imo...Or even better use 3 HMGs if you have them.

The drill is RISS stands for Recon Isolate Secure and Seize. It goes for every building. Rushing it asks for a lure and trap by the enemy.

They're basically made of cardboard. 2-3 shots from a regular Sherman should to the trick.

Also if you can get infantry behind them, I believe they can take the bunker out quite fast with hand grenades. At least that's how it used to work.

Satchel charges do the trick as well ... as should be expected.

I got them!

I flanked from the back/side after knocking out a Panther. They got a Russian BBQ.

Ahh I recognise that bunker, I'm playing through that campaign (slowly) at the moment. I smoked it up and went around to the left of the trees and hit it from behind with a platoon of Shermans once the resistance ahead at the stream was mopped up. Glad you got rid of it.
