patboivin Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 Just for fun I did a test, a large stone bridge survived ten turns of hits from ten artillery spotters, caliber ranging from 100mm to 240mm. So it looks like those large stone bridges cannot be blown. The wooden bridge only lasted one turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ACTOR Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 How many shells landed on the bridge? Did you use TRPs to assist in getting the arty on target? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Captain Foobar* Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 I have killed Stone bridges with a Tiger, but it took about 11 to 15 direct hits on it with HE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted September 5, 2000 Author Share Posted September 5, 2000 OK, I re-did the test, this time six 240mm (or almost same if not available for both Allies and Axis) per side. After seven turns of constant pounding and I would say about ten direct hits against the bridge (and probably that many nearby), part of the large stone bridge collapsed. Sounds like pounding it with an 88mm gun uses up fewer resources than targeting a bridge with artillery, since it took twelve artillery observers @ 240mm or above to destroy the thing. BTW I noticed you can't place a bullseye on parts of a bridge that is above water. You seem to need "solid ground" to place the target.

argie Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 LOL I just made a test using a scenario designed by Bullethead. The wooden bridge blows with ~30 105mm rounds hits. The "light" stone bridge collapses with betwween 35 and 40 105mm hits. The large stone bridge took more than 180 105mm hits and no damage is noted Ariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
