Destroying static blocks

[LLv34_Temuri]

Is it generally possible to destroy static blocks with tank cannons? I tried using the "free" PzIII and T-34 to destroy a dugout, but couldn't destroy it.

Last time  I tried to destroy a house it required ~ 20-30 tiger's HE-shells (88-mm).

Unpleasant thing is that after visual distruction is the fact that physical model remains the same. You can see but can't fire through it

Never trired to do this for detailed (destructible) blocks.

I didn't try the detailed blocks either, because they don't have the dugout block.

 

It's funny it requires that many 88 mm shells, as the blocks are destroyed more easily with the 20 mm cannons in airplanes.

If I remember, blocks have adjustable damage durability or smth like that.  Still can't understand - does it work properly now or not.. Needs some tests I think..

Yes, they do have the adjustable durability. I did the testing with the durability value suggested by the devs. We of course could lower the durability, but try to keep it high enough so that the dugout wouldn't be too easy to destroy with airplane cannons.

This durability issue is something that we'd like to solve before adding player tanks to our server. I'd like the player tanks to be able to destroy the dugouts in the front troops groups we have, but not have it too easy to destroy the dugouts by planes.

I’ve been able to fire through a number of wooden buildings at enemy tanks in the Tiger, Sherman,T-34 and (maybe) Pz III sure if that’s modelled or just an unexpected quirk though.

Ok. Tested now with TC tanks using HE rounds. Looks like anything 75 mm and above is able to destroy the dugouts with durability 25000. It means we can add tanks to our server
