How much damage can block walls take???

[MrMcNasty]

So, me and my small crew are in somewhat of a war with the biggest, richest, most powerful crew on the server. They have let their egos get out of control, but that's not the topic of this post.

 

The topic of this post is however... What will destroy a block wall? because satchel charges sure wont.

 

I spent 2 briefcases getting 5 satchels and all I have to show for it is a flattened tent and blown up SOV.

 

I placed 3 satchels in a close vicinity on one structure and it apparently didn't scratch it.

 

You can see for yourself here:

What might need more looking into is how they got so much building supplies so fast, I had raided their base before back when it was wood and that stuff went down pretty easy as expected, then 1 day later they had all this concrete up.

 

 

EDIT: Fixed Youtube link, had wrong video lol

This is why they are tougher, thanks god !

 

Squirrels raid your stuff for nuts, ok, but when they try and poo all over your hard work nada, love it. 

 

Maybe you guys can take it up to full on  and crash a c-130 into it  ?

Well. They can't withstand a direct hit from a HE round fired from an M1A2. :D

Well, when the nuts are hidden behind locked doors and walls, you gotta blast them down.

 

But, the people that built this base are elitists and jerks to anyone not in their crew, so destroying their hard work is fine by me.

I wish the scud launcher actually worked instead of just shooting up into the air  :D

My first reaction; the Satchels weren't place for maximum impact...however, that wall should've gone down.  Thank you for the video, it's served as a great feedback tool; we'll be making amendments to further balance these items.

What CAN destroy a concrete wall. TONS of M203, the ones on mounted vehicles work. Also RPGs or any rocket launcher if your server supports it, SPG9 on vehicles if your server supports it, arty can do it too.

 

You need WAY more satchels to take down one of those walls. It seems to have similar health to a large non-enterable cafe type building in elektro, which take 5-10 satchels to flatten depending on where you place them.

Three satchel charges will take down a cinder wall.

 

One takes down a wooden wall.

What would be the best placement location for max damage?

If the server has SMAW, it takes 5 SMAW or so to kill the tower.

Tested 3 satchel charges took out cinder wall plus the wooden structures around it. Not an issue on my server since Bandit AI use MI-24's.

Eh, doesn't matter anymore. Server I played on kept having issues with db or whatever whenever 30+ ppl would jump on, so the admin changed it to an over watch server. Sucks that all the time I invested in that server was for nothing now, back to vanilla dayz I go I guess.
