Cannot destroy pyramids

[Archangel44]

Like the title says.

After dozens of 2,000 bombs dropped on the Big one in Giza, it still stands.

I was creating a mission that would start a war by leveling one of the 7 wonders of the world.

If possible, please allow the pyramids to become a parking lot after being bombed/shelled/ A10’d, etc.

 

Thank you,

[MAXsenna]

You naughty boy! Are you aware of the fine you'll be dealt destroying parts of the Seven Wonders of the World?
Anyway, it's not a bug. They don't have a collision/destruction model. Make a wish in the Wishlist thread.
Cheers!

Just a quick note.

This is hit and miss on a few maps.

In Nevada, I tried to bust the Hoover Dam open…Nope.

Just for grins and giggles there in Las Vegas, the Trump Hotel won’t go down either, however, on the Persian Gulf map, that really tall hotel, yea… it comes down with 3 B-52’s loaded with 2,000 pounders.

Call me morbid, but yea, it’s funny as hell.

That's actually funny!

Are you talking the Burj Khalifa? I didn't realise that it had a collapsible model. That's cool. Now I'm going to have to try it. 

[Archangel44]

This is what I did,

I took 3 B-52’s in a trail formation about 1/2 mile spacing, 5,000 feet altitude, loaded up only the bays with 2,000 iron bombs, set each one to carpet bomb with short spacing of the bombs, set the target impact at the base of the hotel and let em rip.

You will enjoy watching the bombs impact from the bottom of the structure all the way to the top.

Have fun,

You really should post a video!

Or a track!    

[Archangel44]

I would, but my computer is old and the video/track would have frames in the lower digits.

Not the track. That depends on which computer it's played on.

You cannot even crash on it? You just fly through?

Oops! I worded myself incorrectly. They have collision model I guess. Never tried.

This may be a silly question, but considering that the pyramids are solid (not hollow), made from some 5 million tons of limestones and some 5000+ tons of Granite, why would some puny 2k iron bombs even put a dent into them? Those things were built to last. 3K+ years of humans couldn't put a dent in them... So even if ORT put some collision detection and damage modelling into them, I don't think that realistically, mere bombs that are dropped from above could damage them all that much.

Indeed. It would be like watching a mouse try to rape an elephant . . .

They didn't have to. They did quite large openings with manual tools and black powder hundreds of years ago.

It doesn't differ much from concrete so it should be treated like one - if used with penetration bombs/fuses it'd break easily.

Now as a tomb it's probably treated like other religious places and will not have damage model in DCS.

Concrete is thin. The pyramids are not. You might punch some holes in them and make cracks but not much else.

Ah! So that's what they are. Atomic shelters ahead of their time. Maybe Ancient Aliens are onto something?

BTW, I don't have the map installed right now so I wonder if someone can check if the Khufu and Khafre pyramids are aligned. Because IRL their NE and SW corners are set along the same line so that the Old Ones can find their parking spot.

Looks like they are.
