Destroying bridges

[Jochen 0]

Does anybody know how to destroy bridges using satchel charges ?

No matter where I place them, they just explode without even scratching the target ... .

Thanks

That bridge demolition didnt seem to be that spectacular.

In OFP it takes about 12 satchels (from memory) to destroy a bridge span.

I'm not sure about ArmA, but I remember it taking less than 3 charges to take out a bridge span on Nogova in OFP... otherwise a certain campaign mission (can't remember the name) would have been impossible to complete.

It was scripted in the campaign mission to destroy the bridge after being damaged by three satchels. But it definatly takes more than 3 to destroy it without scripting.

It looked pretty awesome to me.

No, you're wrong. I just blew up the first bridge section in the mission editor with only three satchels.

Its logical to place the satchels around the pilons to destory the bridge.

However the game requires you to place the satchels underneath the main part of the bridge in between any set of pilons.

Hope this helps if not I can supply you with an image of the exact location for that campaign mission.

Well I haven't tried it really, but I did check the campaign mission in the editor and it does setdammage the bridge. But if 3 works then thats fine.

It only does that as a failsafe for those who are inexperienced at bridge demolition.

Yeah, real men use a GBU-10.

Of course, I'm sure the AV-8's GBU-12 firecrackers are quite capable of doing it, too.

After a few practice hits.

When I'm tasked with taking out a bridge I usually just ram a UH60 or an A10 into it.
