6./ZG26_Loke Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Compared to RoF, I do find the ground targets almost in-destroyable. Have bombed entrensment, artillery and last night I placed full load of 12kg bombs direct in a factory. I do not expect a 12kg to destroy the factory, but they should at least damage it some, mayby start a fire. 12kg explosive is not a handgranade, it is actually rather a lot. Here a 10kg c4 explotion.

HagarTheHorrible Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Unfortunately, it is difficult to compare modern explosives to WW1. That said it does seem you need to hit the target on the head to be effective. 1
6./ZG26_Loke Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 I know it's difficult to compare it. But you have a 10kg explosion here which does not have fragments as the 12kg have in game. Which again mean it would make even more damage, compared with the explosion here above. It is the same with attacking boats with machine guns. You can't damage them in game, same goes for it in WW2.
1PL-Lucas-1Esk Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Loke, The factories can be destroyed with the 12kg PuW / 20lb bombs. They are difficult to kill, because of the heavy AA around. I think that you have to destroy around 8 buildings to get the info about killing the target. One bomb should be enough for a single building. Pay attention (I am writing it just in case) to set the bomb timers to 5 seconds and drop them from around 100 meters, otherwise they may not explode. When I am going to bomb bridges, I always carry the bigger bombs.
6./ZG26_Loke Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 Yeah well, I dropped the whole lot on one building (long one) from 2k. They all detonated, and not a scrats to be seen on the building. I think it should as minimum have started a fire.
1PL-Lucas-1Esk Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Maybe the buildings were strenghtened recently? I am not sure. Need to test them by myself. I usually drop bombs from ground level, so maybe I will take Bristol for a spin and drop some eggs from 10k feet.

Do you have a track recording of the sortie?
6./ZG26_Loke Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 Yes I have. I'll send you a dl link later ?
