I just had an interesting idea that I was wondering if anyone else has had.
Has anyone else car bombed an inactive 86 to get easier protection money? Say there is a large player you don't feel comfortable enough to plant loot near? It's a bit of a gamble since it can destroy higher inf upgrades... I've done it once and it seems to work...

Does car bombs destroy upgrades Indefenity , or are they like attacking where turf will regain health naturally?

Indefinitly

I just looted my first car bomb. Never considered this idea though. Did it work for you?

I haven't tried it, I assumed the turf would regrow to full power.
Not a bad idea if that is the case, better then attacking the turf every few hrs.
I personally choose to sit on my 15 car bombs in the event of a war.

Okay - its not indefinate. You are using the term incorrectly. Indefinate implies that you dont know how long it's gone for, but it will possibly come back later. Car bombs destroy upgrades for a specific defined time, its FOREVER. They are gone, kaput, never to return, heal or grow back. That's not indefinate, thats pretty definate.
Secondly, sounds pretty stupid, inactives are good, leave them alone and farm it to hell, if it's got upgrades, then go get upgrades and then farm it to hell. If all you want is to lower the inf of a turf, and you have no fear of retribution, hit the turf to gain XP and lower inf. When the inf grows back you hit it again for more XP and more money... an endless cycle of money and XP. Car bombs destroy forever. No endless cycle of money OR XP... stupid.

I've done this to turfs that were once 86. They were carbombed and their influence was next to nothing. And they usually grow back to around 30-50. So it's a good strategy.

Its only a good strategy if you want to hurt another player permanently, since inactives dont rebuild and you want their turf to stay around, permanently damaging an inactive wouldnt be my first choice, ESPECIALLY on 86 turf, it is easy to get a bagman and overpower an 86 turf for income. Why destroy somerhing when you can get income from it instead?
