on Taviana map wood buildings indestructible?

[ekroemer]

Hi there,

 

my admin has just tested the modular building system of Epoch 1.0.2.1 on a Taviana map.

 

He has built a wood garage with a locked door and claims that he could not destroy the building with a  Humvee SOV (grenade launcher) and an Armored SUV's Gatling.

 

That's contrary to the reports that the buildings can be easily destroyed.

 

Is this a change in 1.0.2.1 or an unintended effect with the Taviana map?

The locked wooden doors take a huge amount of damage to destroy compared to normal walls. 

 

The grenade launcher doesn't particularly do that much damage to structures, it never has. Hitting with a .50 will do the job faster but you will still be looking at around 100 or more rounds to destroy the locked wall. I was using a larger calibre gun while testing and it took 105 rounds to take the locked garage door down. A satchel charge will also do it. 

 

When you see people complain or ask about indestructible what they are really should be saying is making it unremovable by other players since this has always been the quicker way to take down buildings in Epoch.
