Factory Damage

[snappled]

Firstly, do factories normally rebuild completely from total destruction in just 24 hours?

Secondly, last 2 runs against Essen prod Fac #1 this eve showed about a twenty-five minute lag in damage report. Damage was the usual from a DB7 drop (18%), but damage from second last run didn't appear with (dot)status info request for nearly twenty-five minutes. Crucially, the factory damage was at 83% when I dropped for the last time, so that final load of bombs should have finished it off.

Problem with RDP reporting atm?

And before someone says I missed, I would say ... yes. Good one. I missed ... Right.

They rebuild pretty fast, I'm fairly sure it takes less than 24 hours to go from fully destroyed to undamaged if nobody does any maintenance.

In game status updates with .own are fine (or at least I haven't noticed anything wrong, but last time I did any bombing was yesterday).

Last I checked on this it seemed 1% every 30 minutes; however, after a quick glance at this, it doesn't seem to follow that anymore - it seems faster.

It appears to be (currently) 3% per hour ..... Therefore leveling a factory results in near total reconstruction in just 33 hours. Considering it takes so much effort ... five or six 40-45 minute round trips, per facility, so little return is frustrating.

And normally about 10 points awarded per run that has an accurate hit.

Little wonder I was one of the only pilots making runs on factories for the Allies this map. A handful of others joined some evenings, but the days of major formations flying in are over with the reality of this effect.
