PeterNZer Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 It takes ages but can be done by shooting at them a lot with things that explode. Also, do a search, it has been discused I believe PeterNZ ------------------ "What do I care, I got laid last week" - Chupacabra "Bjorn again are really quite good!" - Germanboy - Official owner of the sig files of Dalem and Croda - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Yeah, they take quite a beating before they blow. Probably something to the equivalent of a large heavy building plus a light house. Seems like I destroyed one with a barrage of 105mm artillery. ------------------ "Upon my signal, unleash Hell."--General Maximus, Gladiator "Aim small, miss small."--Mel Gibson, The Patriot "I do what I likes, and I likes what I do."--Darrell Hammond (portraying Bill Clinton), SNL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Don't bother shooting at land bridges, for some reason they're much tougher than bridges over water. I tried it with 100 rounds of 170mm, and the bridge wasn't even damaged. Before anyone asks, engineers can't blow up bridges with satchels. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Dirtweasle Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 Playing around to find a good/economical way to blow brdiges I found 155mm allied arty to be pretty darn good. In controlled testing after 1 1/2 to 2 turns the wooden bridge is history. Interestingly enough 8" gun though expensive, is incredible accurate. Durring first full turn of firing, usually the second salvo knocks the bridge out. I was just amazed with how accurate 8" fire is. Puts the rounds into about a 10-20 meter oval everytime. The spotting round is not as wild either. Is this to simulate highly accurate Naval fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleavis Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 ...wow, from what i'm hearing, you can call in some pretty heavy stuff when it comes to artillery, man, i thought the 105mm arty in the demo is powerful! i can't wait to try out the 14" naval guns, and the 8" naval guns, i bet they cost a fortune to call in, though...but they would be a good way to take out those nasty KT's and JT's i keep hearing about that ruin everyone's day.

I think it's the 8" howitzer, which I've seen in a few books ("Hell on Wheels" for one) referred to as the most accurate artillery of the war. I have no idea if that's actually true, but I'm sure some Friendly Neighborhood Grog can confirm or deny this. ------------------ Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap - Rudyard Kipling, "Tommy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Babra Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 I have my standard stress-relief, blow things up, scenario for moments of extreme boredom. A few dozen 14" spotters for the Brits, and a couple of battalions of German infantry with about a Panzer Division's worth of tank support, locked on a large island. Casualties are usually over 1,500 Germans after about three turns... ------------------ The common ordinary SS soldier was just following orders from their superiors...

Fan Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 LOL Babra I made one like that too. 'Cept it's Amis vs. the Krauts. Called it Blood Island. It's great for right after you get home from work, eat dinner, and crack open that first beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windopaene Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Yeah, I made a test battle last night to check out those bad boys... They are. Peacefull French town full of Germans... BOOM! At least the town may have been full of Germans. Now it's just a pile of rubble. No bodies though...hmmm...
