joesnuffy Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 In a CMBB QB I was playing, I discovered a wooden MG bunker. I decided to use my off-map 82mm mortar battery to target this bunker. Someone mentioned that the mortar wasn't enough to take out the bunker. I would agree in the case of a concrete bunker, but I figured it could seriously damage a wooden bunker. I was having trouble with targeting and never got a direct hit. Anyone know if this would work or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 No. The bunker would be covered with layers of earth and rocks which would easily resist a normal mortar round. That is, after all, why those log bunkers were built in the first place. (The graphics can confuse, though.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Plus you've got to look at relative cost. A mortar module is ~100pts. A wooden MG bunker costs no more than 40pts. You could expend an entire mortar module on the bunker and not get a hit, let alone a kill and have no additional benefit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta1 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 i've tried it with on map mortars, fired 10 crack mortars at a single log bunker until they ran out of ammo. Got lots of hits, absolutely no effect. Not even a crew casualty. tried 50mm, 81mm no dice. I think a direct hit from a off map 120mm mortar would do the job but I wouldnt waste arty that useful agasint such a poor target 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
