Blowing up Oil Tanks blocks Buggy?

[jollyjack]

I set Oil Tanks to linked entry (enemy), but a TC _T34 could not blow them up ... isn't that possible?

Tried AP and HE shelling.

Salutations,

 

I have done it in one of my BTL missions. Link below.

It is one of my first three mission made. There is a Russian Ammo dump that can be destroyed. I found a way to destroy them. I don't remember the detail offhand. You can examine the mission file to see how I did it.

Just checked... I have been unable to run or edit any of my old missions. I probably has to do with the various game updates since their creation. But, like I said, creating destruction and destruction of of oil trucks and ammo can be done. Good luck.

OK.. I was able to get it opened in the ME and resaved it. File Attached. Getting them to be destroyed has to do with the Command Damage mcu. Examine the mission in the editor to figure it out. Good luck.

I don't think the damage incurred in my mission was caused by direct fire weapons..

Thanks (also on behalf of the tanks?). I will import it later in my thang with T34 tanks and let you know.

ADDED: you use a damage command, is that necessary? And what is the best way to trigger that hitting the oiltanks with a tank?

 

Was experimenting with different T34 Ammo, seems less deadly with non waypointed vulnerable tanks also (Linked Entity) also.

than with waypointed moving tigers. (shooting up their ass is the way LoL). Tiger hunting ain't as easy, wonder why they're almost extinct now.

 

 

The only way i get them oiltanks is crashing into them, shelling with all sorts of T34 ammo doesn't seem to work ..

Well, i have to conclude that it's impossible to destroy with any tank ammo, for both a K1vs or a T34.

The smaller stand up oil tanks can be shot, but the large ones and the flat laying tanks (picture below) you can only destroy by bumping against them.

PS both tank blocks set to Linked Entry, enemy ... is this a bug?

You could try making changes in their Advanced Setting.

 

Ensure their country is set to the enemy side and adjust the Damage Threshold down.

It seems the game sees them as game objects and not targets. I've seen the same situation with tank positions. In my tank training mission... as long as the player stays within it, any enemy tank either can't hit the player or doesn't even fire upon the player.

[jollyjack]

Hi Thad, enemy side was set, and damage 50, all as above. Do you mean damage threshold, change that? to what?

For the small working stand up oiltanks it's the same as for the rest. PS i could PM the mission via Media fire .... is not finished yet.

The Damage Threshold is normally set at 50.  Try reducing it to 10 or 20 and see what happens.

It's a bug, probably with more blocks set to linked entry and tank shelling. Only the smaller standup oiltanks are destructible:

Meanwhile i found how to blow up the big stand-up tanks; aim at the pipes in the middle with HE shells.

But the flat laying tanks you'll only destroy bumping into them.

You have left the durability set to 25000. Try 2500 instead.
