Offshore Platforms bombing
-
Hi , pilots !
It’s just a little question here :
I was flying on Egyptian side yesterday in ITO(operation “Standing Wave”) .Wanting to support the Syrian side, I launched my sqn on 2 Israelis offshores platforms .
The mission was a total success and we totally wiped the 2 targets(3 bombs each, with 1 GBU-12 each time for making sure the job was entirely done ,that I personally launched) , then we RTBed .
Yet, when I read the debriefing , I noticed that the 2 platforms were again 90% functionnal after the bombing . I can assume that after the “job” , one could only see a pile of floating destroyed junk instead of the beautiful platform it was before we were on the place.
Can somebody explain why ?
Thanks in advance .
Regards,

Hey man, You are attacking, the good side, the strength !!
Stay safe !! -
Hhmm… let’s see what theories do we have at hand.
Some traitors changed to dumb bombs your GBUs, so they made only a lot of smoke.
You and your flight hit the targets, but they have been repaired presto! by Israelian engineers.
The BDA crew ran out of their stuff to film the target area properly.
Those guys at the debriefing facility felt paid not enough for their job and went on strike.
The analysts didn’t get a thing at all.
Enough? :lol:
With best regards.

I couldn’t figure out why, but can concur

Haha!
That’s precisely why I chose the Egyptian side : I’m sometimes bored to fight for the stronger side . Fighting for the weakest is 10fold more challenging and rewarding .The BDA crew ran out of their stuff to film the target area properly.
But, I did that BDA ! With my own TGP . Only floating debris, waves and fishs ….
You and your flight hit the targets, but they have been repaired presto! by Israelian engineers. : Maybe ? Damn, they are very good … I should hire them …
The BDA crew ran outSome traitors changed to dumb bombs your GBUs, so they made only a lot of smoke. : Impossible! All the traitors have already been …errr… Well, there’re no traitors in our Glorious Egypt any more…

Seriously, it’s a bit frustrating because my goal was to balance a bit that war on our eastern borders .
Our strategists thought that the better solution was to cut their fuel supplies, and the politicals agreed.
But we know that very soon it will become impossible to launch that kind of sorties again(Israelis are used to react very quickly) . And we can’t for sure do that 9 times again … I bet they’ll put some Patriots close to the shores to deny us airspace over those strategic targets … not even talking about air patrols .Really any start of explanation ? I’m thinking about put thoses Oilplatform to 0% via MC , but I feel it’s a bit unfair …

It’s good that you took it good, mate.
Unfair? What’s unfair? Life may be unfair.
War might be more than that. So, please accept that as a fact: you gave some and got some.
It may sound like a big sheeeeet, but we all have to put this in our balance, I guess.
Have fun and stay safe, most of all.
With best regards.

So, your advice is to finish them via MC ? :dhorse:

Well, hhmmm… as always, “If you just need to do that, so do it as you like.”.
There’s not our good friend Molnibalage here believing that “Life is Strange”, you know.
Figure how simming may be, then.With best regards.

If you just need to do that, so do it as you like
Hmmm…
It’s not that I need to do it , it’s only the fact that those platforms took about 1500 lbs of bombs each , right in the middle …
So, in my mind, they should be totally destroyed .
The fact they are still 90% functionnal after such a treatment bother me a little bit
I’m only a flight simmer, you see …

I’d love to know the answer myself.

Icebergs? Only 10 percent of an iceberg is visible. Maybe the 90 percent of the platform is underwater and unaffected, thus minimal damage?

Hmmm, interesting hypothesis ……
For my part , I think they are made in Adamantium … As Israelian Army is known to be backed by the US .
