Buildings too tough

[WirtsLegs]

Many (seemingly all) buildings on the map are able to take way too much punishment before becoming destroyed

some examples here

This is the impact of a RN-24 nuclear bomb (yes I know they are just REALLY BIG normal explosions not a modelled nuke but seemed a good way to test this, and only 1 building being destroyed seems wrong?

In this case test units i had throughout the city were all destroyed, so the aoe of the explosion seems to still be there, just not enough for most buildings to care

Here are 2 pictures showing the results of 4 B-52s dropping a max payload of 500lb bombs

As you can see only a handful of buildings are ultimately affected

 

Buildings like some shed and farmhouses have similar resilience to explosions, the end result is that with the payloads players have in WW2 missions they are unlikely to be able to destroy most buildings (which should be doable with a mossie or P-47 payload easily) either deliberately or accidentally.

 

As a best guess I would say it seems like only direct hits with the bomb itself will damage these buildings, the blast does nothing.
