cannot reproduce WWII units cannot damage bunker units because hits do not register, does not affect modern units

[Rolds]

The bunker units do not register hits from WWII units, and therefore do not take damage. Please see the attached track in which a variety of WWII asset pack units fire on the four bunker types in the game. You will see on the mission log, no hits are registered. I then switch the AI off for all the WWII units and switch an M1 Abrahms tank to weapons free. As you can see, it is able to destroy all four bunkers because DCS does detect its rounds hitting the bunkers.

I personally do not consider this to be a low priority bug! This failure of the damage model can break the game, preventing the user from placing bunkers in situations where they could engage WWII ground units. I would also like to point out that this bug has existed in DCS for a considerable period of time, affects a paid add on to DCS (the WWII asset pack), and breaks combat as the bunkers are invulnerable to WWII ground units, even if the WWII units have weapons which should be able to damage or destroy the bunkers.

I do know that this bug has been reported before, by me:

I hope you understand I mean no disrespect in repeating comments I have made previously. I am a longtime fan of DCS world and am only trying to help improve the game.

Thanks I will take a look.

So reduced to a Sherman, and controlled it myself, and all bunkers were registering damage, the Abrams is obviously more deadly as the shells are better, but I am not seeing an issue with human control.

With AI, its the same, I am not sure how the AI determines the shell it engages with but I saw damage being registered. 

Now whether its enough damage I am not sure, I can look into that, but in general I believe the shells on the Sherman perform as expected. From what I know, bunkers generally held up well against most types of shell attacks, be it artillery, naval or tanks. I don't think they would do much damage without a number of shots.
