Hi, anybody knows which wepons were used against buildings?

there are meny terms i am not sure: howitzer, mortar, assault gun, cannon and so on.

my qusion is which kind of weapons were used to damage/level buildings.

(only one i know are bomber planes - and in game only those have bonus against buildings, and i want to give bonus for anti-building cannons too)

thanks!

i made it that howitzers and assault guns will have bonus against mega buildiings, tell me if more needed.

Well, there is no specific kind of weapon for that... Or cathegory... Any high caliber weapon is able to go well vs buildings, it all depends on the ammunition used.

Fun fact: On ww2, unlike the belief that most of tank crews used to carry lots of armor piercing rounds on their tanks, it got stated by US ordnance departament that most of crews had the racks filled with around 80% of the ammo capacity with just High explosive ammunition. The remaining 20% was divided between AP rounds and smoke ammunition. Why? It was expected that the chance of enemy infantry (usually hidden in buildings) was much more likeable to apear than an enemy vehicle... A clear sight of care and priority to support the advancing allied infantry. By blowing buildings, bridges or any point holding the infantry advance.

So against buildings, usually high explosive rounds (HE) or vs reinforced buildings, High Explosive armor piercing rounds (Heap), or even incendiary rounds where used.

ok we have no ammo type here so we should indicate which unit is against what kind uf units.
so i think tanks are good against infantry and other tanks is thir role
and howitzers (maybe assault guns?) are against guildings and infantry

is it a good approach?

We can also give rocket launcher weapons a bonus against buildings because they always use shaped charge (HEap) ammunition. They were supposed to be cost 3 because they are both anti building and tank.

you mean the bazzoka like hand weapons? or the katyusha like ones?

The bazooka weapons.

ok i gave to bazooka!
panzerjage and panzershreck?

Shreck, not jäger.

ok, shrek is updated. anything ese on infantry?
