raelias Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Hello, was flying around with some buddies and we decided to bomb the hidroeletric powerplant, nothing happens tho as we expected, are there any plans to make it destructable? would be awesome especially if flood would happen Cheers Win10 64, MSI Krait Gaming Z370, I7 8700K, Geforce 1080Ti FTW3 ,32 GB Ram, Samsung 980 EVO SSD Modules: Combind Arms, A-10C, F-86F, F/A-18, F-16, Flaming Cliffs, KA-50, L-39, P-51, UH-1, Christen Eagle II, Persian Gulf

feefifofum Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Sure, let's add dynamic fluid modeling to the list of stuff our poor PCs are trying to calculate. :lol: Definitely would be awesome but I can't imagine how much work that would be. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
Weta43 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I'd rather we had inscrutable dams... Seriously though - we wouldn't need to have inundation, just treat them like any other static object and at the point they've accumulated enough damage to be 'destroyed' replace the initial model with a model with nick out the top & a crack in it with a bit of river running down the side from the crack representing water seeping through... That lets you determine the damage visually, & set its destruction as an event for evaluating mission success (triggers or scripts). Cheers.

Yeah that would suffice, maybe even some animation from water droplets going out of cracks, and just disapearing on the terrain after, that would be fine and look cool Win10 64, MSI Krait Gaming Z370, I7 8700K, Geforce 1080Ti FTW3 ,32 GB Ram, Samsung 980 EVO SSD Modules: Combind Arms, A-10C, F-86F, F/A-18, F-16, Flaming Cliffs, KA-50, L-39, P-51, UH-1, Christen Eagle II, Persian Gulf

Kang Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I believe the reason for that might be that the dambuster raid, while undoubtedly an impressive piece of airmanship and engineering, also showed a major problem with such a plan: even if you manage to disrupt power production (and if I remember correctly the British intelligence service actually underestimated the effect), you happen to flood the valley below, which sadly killed lots of forced labourers and POWs. On original topic, yes a 'broken dam' asset would be nice to have, but I'm afraid it would have to be done for each dam individually and not sure it's worth the effort considering how few dams there are to begin with on all DCS maps.

Mr_Burns Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) We have military visits at work, common military thinking is you blow up the transmission systems, not the power stations. Obviously WW2 was a little different, perhaps bigger....but in reality if you are wanting to overthrow a government or give a tribe/religion a bit of a shooing then you dont want to leave people without power for the 3 years it takes to fix a power station or rebuild a dam. Knock out the power lines and you get the same impact for the 6 months of the war. However, you can watch the British sureing up a broken dam on UK news channels at the moment, pretty impresive pilot skills and good to show the military do provide humanitarian services as much as war fighting!

choco8 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Not to be a spoil sport but... Isn’t it blowing up a dam a war crime? :smilewink:
Weta43 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 We have military visits at work, common military thinking is you blow up the transmission systems, not the power stations. Not exactly disagreeing, but I guess it depends how loosely you define 'transmission systems' & what you're using to do the 'blowing up'. You can set up temporary transmission lines in a couple of days: August 1975 – A strong wind storm caused a string of seven transmission towers to collapse [on the HVDC link from the NI to the SI] and damage the line. The link took five days to repair. There are other bit's of equipment (which I won't mention now) that would be susceptible to small explosions that could take 6 months to a year to replace - even in peace time. The reality is though, that if you dropped a single penetrating bomb on each unit in the powerhouse, the station would be out for years even though the dam might be structurally intact & the storage still controlled (after dropping the head-gates). Dartmouth PowerStation Australia: "The turbine casing and concrete machine block surrounding it were destroyed in 1990 when two steel beams entered the turbine. The station was subsequently re-built and re-commissioned in 1993." Cheers.
Weta43 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 The Hornet and its armament is still UNDERPOWERED! :lol::music_whistling: To show just how underwhelming they are, you should set weapons and fuel to unlimited, and see how many bombs you have to drop to actually destroy the dam. Just don't stop till it's broken... Cheers.
