Suez Canal Pontoon Bridge

[dutchdan]

Hi,

Since the F4E came out I have been reading up on the Yom Kippur War during which one of the tasks for the F4 was to target and destroy the Egyptian pontoon bridges across the canal. I looked for a mod but did not find one so decided to try myself and this is the result, nothing fancy but it has a damage model to show which parts are destroyed. Also you can place some vehicles on top ( I think only the amphibious ones).

Thanks to T-PAP for his Crimea Bridge Mod as I studied this as an example.

Enjoy!

Both sides were elevated by bringing sand and other material. Essentially prior to the war they both raced to get a higher position, with Israel at the end building fortified concrete which at the end mend that their side was 2m lower than Egyptian side.

The was also a notable usage of water cannons by Egypt to undermine the eastern side of the channel, and collapse it.

I do not have the Suez map, so I can not really check if they modeled this into the map.
