Mil-Ops Attack on weapons factory

Mil-Ops Attack on weapons factory
19/05/19

A quick mission to neutralise a weapons producing factory

FSX@War
Milviz F100d
Tacpack
P3DV4.4

Loadout: 6 x M117 General Purpose Bombs (785lbs)

Factory before


Factory after 1 salvo




An F-100D of the 308th TFS, being loaded with Mk 117 750 lb bombs at Tuy Hoa, South Vietnam, in early 1966.




The M117 is a 750-pound general purpose bomb that can be employed in several different configurations. The basic M117 dates from the Korean War and uses a low-drag tail fin for medium and high-altitude deliveries.

The M117R (Retarded) uses a special fin assembly providing either high-drag or low-drag release options. For low altitude deliveries, the tail assembly opens four large drag plates which rapidly slow the bomb and allow the aircraft to escape its blast.

The M117D (Destructor) looks similar to the M117R but uses a magnetic influence fuze, which enables the bomb to function as a mine. The M117D is released in a high-drag configuration for ground implant or shallow water mining. It detonates when an object passing near the bomb triggers the fuze.

The M117 series was used extensively during the Vietnam War, and B-52G aircraft dropped thousands of tons of M117 and M117R bombs during Operation Desert Storm.

Good effect on target! It is interesting to see the changes in the other buildings (the silo, that addition of the round storage tank) after the other buildings are destroyed.

I paused and "Alt-tab" which made the flying debris, smoke and flames disappear  :(

It's on the Wiki weapons list, but in a very inconspicuous location that someone might not notice
