Airport / runway damage invisible from the air
-
I created a simple TE including a red 4 ship OCA strike (a8-Crusaders) on Heraklion (Crete) using the Aegean V1.3 theater and then monitored the package progress in the recon / status screen. The strike was successful, the runway listed as 100% destroyed, including the radar and partial damage to an ammo dump. Airport status was listed as 0%.
I then created a blue package to check the damage visually, and from the air the runway looked like this:
which (to my eyes at least) looks like a very healthy runway to me. I dialled in Heraklion tower and sure enough I was cleared for landing. Only when I touched down and rolled on the runway, a “damaged runway” texture appeared all of a sudden and my jet consequently exploded when hitting this bit of tarmac.
Questions:
-
Shouldn’t ATC divert me to another airfield if the only runway at an airport is inoperable?
-
Shouldn’t damage be a bit more prominent and visible after an unopposed, successful 4 ship OCA strike on the facility?
All the best & thanks in advance for your comments,
Uwe
