markshot Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I was playing a scenario when two small light buildings just blew up! I didn't see that they were taking and fire (like direct HE) and I didn't see and demo charges being thrown. They just blew up simultaneously with no prior damaged. It looked like they had been primed and blown on command. Didn't do my two squads very much good who had just advanced into them. I didn't read about such capabilities in the game manual. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 There was a bug in CMBO, not sure about BB that caused all buildings on a map to blow up at the same time. I think the trigger was an aircraft attack but I don't really remember the details of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Sounds more like a direct hit with big arty? That will take a small light building out in one go... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 This wasn't all buildings on the map. However, that would have been cool; like a tactical nuke dropped on my little CM map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 I don't think it was big arty either. I mean what is the chance of a barrage with only two rounds landing simultaneously dead center on my two adjacent buildings. Here is something interesting. Between the two buildings prior to the their collapse, there was one of those "Achtung Minen!" signs that the auto club puts up. Well, it wasn't there afterwards. Could my buildings have been built on a mine field? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I remember in BO you could blow up damaged buildings with demo charges. Perhaps a pioneer team area targeted the building with "use explosives". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since a mine field was present, chances are that a pioneer team (from either side) auto targeted the minefield for some satchel charge lovin. I've seen demo charges take out multipe small buildings at once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing a PBEM game when one of my Russian planes swooped down to attack a German AFV. Simultaneously, every small and medium building on the map suddenly exploded, and the few remaining large buildings looked like they took damage. Luckily we didn't have units in the buildings, but this could have wrecked the whole game if one side or the other suddenly took a lot of casualties from roofs falling in. We can send the file to BFC if they want to look into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGONZOM Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 You can build houses on minefields, It sounds like you ran into a booby-trapped house. Also aircraft can drop their bombs nearby too and them up... If pioneers can blow bridges they can blow houses too, any pioneers in the area? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 This was in "Clash of Titans II," a meeting engagement on a big map. So no, there were no mines or pioneers. Some of the affected buildings were hundreds of meters away from the target, including buildings behind my own lines. Gotta be a bug. I'm just glad we weren't playing a city scenario!

xerxes Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Did you have pioneers/engineers nearby? Pioneers will autotarget AP minefields with their satchels and they aren't none too careful if there are friendlies about. The area effect blast of satchels will take down buildings quite effectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Bjorn -- I'll be happy to send it to you when I get home tonight. Xerxes -- No pioneers, no mines, no nada. Just the simultaneous destruction of every small & medium building, everywhere on the map.

xerxes Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I meant my question for markshot. The destroy all buildings from an aircraft bomb bug is still in CMBB (at least the earlier builds). Sort of an easter egg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
