Do you need special munitions to take out power plants in a similar way to runway cratering and taking out hardened bridges?

It seems like Russia and Ukraine just take the route of trying to hit critical components and grid connectors but we've seen that so long as you have access to components then you can quickly return to business after a strike.

It would probably help not to blow up on the outer facade.

That's a housing and commercial development now.

The turbine's pressure vessel is probably like an armored casing.
It's doubtful it could be destroyed by the blast or shrapnel from a near miss.

The place is soulless now but it's kino to visit on open days. There's a cocktail bar which is built into one of the old control rooms so you can see the restored art deco panels from back when people spent money on electricity.

>>65048179
Yeah it's unique in a way that anti-ship munitions might actually match the mission profile more than anything else. There's really nothing in inventories that's designed to hit them which is really for good reasons but it still feels like a missing link.

I suppose the other thing to think about in the modern world is trying to permanently disable a nuclear power plant without accidentally making Sweden glow in the dark. You might even struggle to do controlled demolitions on the ground with some soviet reactors and the newer models are designed to resist everything imaginable.

Even during World War II, a period marked by relentless strategic bombing campaigns, there seem to have been surprisingly few instances of attacks on power plants. Perhaps the only notable example is Operation Eisenhammer.

>>65048236
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to put them in a more suburban area of London instead of somewhere like Peckham. It's absolutely horrific how badly serviced South London is and a big cause of urban blight that could be gentrified away.

>>65048240
I can't even imagine how many bombing runs it would take to destroy a WWII coal plant compared to just destroying the tracks.

This whole plan is retarded. Iran's been in existential fight mode since this shitshow started. Threats and ultimatums are worthless, they're already convinced it's victory or death and acting accordingly. They're just gonna retaliate by fucking up the oil infrastructure and desalination plants, making it sure that even a theoretical re-opening of the straits becomes academic.
>>
It's just delay-fuzed PGM kit Mk84s against the boilers or lighter bombs on the transformer field. Russians and ukies can't do it because typical drones lack the payload, and don't have the velocity for concrete/steel penetration.

The Allies didn't believe that striking generating capacity would have as large an effect as just striking factories directly. They realized after the war if they had German industry would have shut down almost completely in 43.

Fuck there are so many dams and so much agriculture and drinking water reliant on them in Iran (and wider region). Nobody tell the Whitehouse or they'll start pissing off the Taliban.

It just blows the fuses - that's incredibly easy to fix and almost routine maintenance outside of the scale. Yugos managed to get their grid back up in 24 hours when they got hit by it so the mid-long effect is negligible outside of giving children asthma.

>>65048353
Spoken with the confidence of a redditor. We're talking about long-term knocking them out.

I hope I live to see the Bakerloo Line extension.
>>
>>65048690
I don't. There've been more than enough Mornington Crescent expacs for my tastes, and they'd *have* to put something out for Bakerloo or else it'd be too easy to undercut Red at New Cross Gate (as if Overground players don't have it hard enough already...).

Mornington Crescent is a board game about the London Underground. He's making a /tg/ joke.

What an amazing building. It's crazy how good it looks and how all the modern apartments just look like formless greeble in comparison.

Doesn't need to be that big an expansion and they could keep it interesting by introducing a low valence rule for a hypothetical line going down to Crystal Palace, make people think a bit as to whether they'll sail right on through to elephant & castle or get diverted via new cross. You could even try and incentivise it more by adding some culture pickups crossing brown to red and encourage the scenic route but risk the bottlneck

Trump doesn't seem to have made the connection between "kill anyone they send to negotiate with me" and "they aren't sending anyone to negotiate with me".

>>65048294
this whole situation is ridiculous because the people who are threatening each other don't give a fuck about what is being threatened by the other side
iranian government doesn't care about iranians
trump doesn't care about anything
the game of chicken doesn't work if both sides don't care if you run into each other
>>
>>65049053
The Iranians are just able to read the fucking room. They've tried talking it out with Trump and Bibi twice now, and gotten a knife to the back each time because it just resulted in them being perceived as weak. They have to make this into a defeat for the US, because any negotiated outcome below that means they'll just get bombed again in a year because someone needs a political distraction.

Trump and Bibi effectively tied down the gas pedal and removed the steering wheel in Iran's car before starting this game of chicken, and now they're wondering why these crazy Iranians aren't slowing down or evading.
>>
>>65048347
Not a real concept

I wish a game was made in the style of those old cgi cutscenes.
