GazAce Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Hey cool people. I just dropped a 1000 pounder onto a Road bridge in the Channel map that enemy units did traverse over not long before then I hit it with a AGM-154C & it's still standing. Anyone have ideas about this? I would've thought WWII bridges would've been easy seeing as a heap of them were blown in that theater. I only tried the one bridge though.

Holbeach Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 I used an A-20 ai, to drop 2 1000 lb bombs on a target crossing a bridge and the bridge remained standing, but the tank slowly dropped into the river, as if on a lift.

How strange! Yea that's pretty weird. I posted a Bridge bombing mission a while back called The Bridges of Beslan & in that map they all destructed awesomely.

Holbeach Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I used an A-20 ai, to drop 2 1000 lb bombs on a target crossing a bridge and the bridge remained standing, but the tank slowly dropped into the river, as if on a lift. How strange! Yea that's pretty weird. I posted a Bridge bombing mission a while back called The Bridges of Beslan & in that map they all destructed awesomely. Using a Harrier with Mk 82, the bridge was destroyed. Placing an armoured vehicle on the bridge, the bridge was destroyed, but the vehicle was left undamaged, suspended in mid air. Using a Spitfire with 500 lb bomb, the bridge was destroyed and the vehicle was destroyed, then descended slowly into the canal (about 2 mins), then blew up. Edit: Only an amphibious vehicle, as this was, can be placed on a bridge over water, hence the peculiar behaviour. .. Edited July 12, 2020 by Holbeach ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V.

How strange! .. The "lift drop" thing seems quite common in DCS. I've observed similar on the Caucasus map where the target vehicle is on a bridge when a weapon hits.
wraith70 Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 End of 2022 and still can't destroy a bridge on the Channel map. I've tried with explosions, AI P-47, myself and no joy. 1

The ‘lift drop’ thing has been breaking undercarriages after repair lately.
