Industrial Center city blocks ord

[2Slow]

What is the ordinance requirement for a city block destruction?

250lbs I believe, same as a town building.

They are CIT objects, 325 iirc, you can check offline.

The 100kg bombs from the Ki-67 seem to do the trick just fine.

I did check offline.  It shows 0.8438 of a 1000 lb bomb.  So it looks like a formation salvo of 250 pounders is out.  Formation salvo of 500 lbs (500 x 3) is required.

This seems a bit steep to me.

one ENTIRE city block is 250lbs (so carpet bombing wastes bor bombs than dropping them one at a time)

Carpet bombing is fine. Just set a delay!

[jay]

so that is what delay does

You've never used salvo and delay together?

Duuuuude... Strat bombing is much better with delays. We used them to good effect in the Red Storm scenario, delaying so each "stick" of bombs spread out across a strat from end to end for best damage.

  With this super accurate bomb sight we have I see no need for delay, sometimes salvo but I find good old mister thumb does just perfectly.  The only time where I see salvo and delay being of value to me is if I happen to be under heavy attack and want to get to my gun fast but I hardly ever seem to have this problem.

+1.  Never had need for delay myself.  It looks cool, but is ultimately less efficient than spaced out single drops according to building clusters.

New industrial center is a bit large.  Each city block is 628.5 feet square.  @ 270 mph (20k + alt) one can only get 7 blocks.  The delay required for 12 500 pounders is .93.  16 250 lber's can stretch out to 10 blocks with a delay of .99.

A nice trick is to bomb along a "section line."  The street that seperates the blocks.  With 500 lbers and their blast radious one can get as many as 14 blocks.  My best has been 12.

I keep hearing 250 lbs per block.  However, a City shows as needing .8438 of 1000 pounds.  Which is about 844 pounds.

Thus my original question in this thread,  what does it take to destroy a city block.

I use the single salvo and delay setting for realism and for Flayed's reason.

You have to remember that each drone is dropping a 250Lb bomb also. So your hitting that area with 750 lb worth of ord.
