TF47 Launchers [WIP]

[blackpixxel 53]

Introduction
This is a WIP version of a small launcher pack that should contain a few ungided anti-tank weapons. They will benefit from an authentic zeroing that allows them to be used at longer ranges. The main goal is to bring the M3 MAAWS and the SMAW into Arma 3, with completely new models and textures. But other AT-weapons may follow as well.

Current Content
M3 MAAWS
->Zeroing from 100 to 900m with animation
->removable 3D-scope without outside view
->flip-up ironsights
->HEAT, HEDP, HE, SMOKE, ILLUMINATION ammunition
->Airburst-Setup for HE, Range setting for ILLUMINATION


M136 AT4 CS
->Zeroing from 50 to 400m with animation
->HEAT, HEDP, HP ammunition
->disposable (launcher is not reloadable)
->launcher needs to be prepared (press 'reload'-button)
->reduced backblast when using ACE3 (since this is the confined space-version)

 

MK153 Mod 0 SMAW

->Zeroing from50 to 500m with animation
->removable 3D-scope without outside view
->fixed ironsights zeroed for 250m
->HEAA, HEDP ammunition
->Spotting Rifle for increased hit-Chance

​
To-Do list:  M72, Javelin, Stinger, ...

nice to see !

[sirscorpion 10]

Looks and feels amazing, great work and look forward to the SMAW.

Really needed as there is a lack in good authentic AT weapons.

Just a bug report note, at the moment it has a wight of 2kg, i think the real thing is around 8.5kg, also removing it and putting it on the ground and picking it up gives you a new round.

Edit: the HEDP seem to be under preforming as well even vs T-55 "front shot slightly damaged the gun", no damage to the RHS tanks at all. HEAT rounds seem to work fine.

Otherwise seems to work great.

This is awesome, great job! It looks great and functions well! Thanks for releasing this

I was testing this in the virtual arsenal and noticed that the iron sight is slightly offcenter, I had to aim the iron-sight slightly to the left to hit the guy at 100m. This adjustment was approximately the same width as the vertical metal bit in the sight). The zeroing works perfectly with the scope though!

I believe you are already planning to add the Smoke/Ilumination rounds but if your interested in an addition optic to the M3. The FCS12 is a new fairly modern sight that I believe the Swedish military are now using with the M3. It's key advantage is a built in laser ranger finder.

[christian2526 68]

Thanks for the feedback, we are already working on the Illum/Smoke Rounds.

[sirscorpion 10]

Any chance we see the Air burst rounds?

[snippers 36]

Here is a bug report: Post equipping, but selecting the the Gustav, several errors appear in the RPT (I am only using this mod and CBA):

12:24:40 Error in expression <(density interpolate [0.98,0.981,-1,1])>

... (There is more but don't want to clog this up)

[brainslush 13]

First let me say, congrats on the release. I like the detailed textures and model.

Some small things I noted:

First, your addon causes some problems with the curator module: Open Editor, place Modules/Zeus/GameMaster, then you receive following well known config error:

 0:32:19 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/ModuleCurator_F/Arguments/Addons/Values/All.default'.
0:32:19 Warning Message: '/' is not a value
0:32:19 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/ModuleCurator_F/Arguments/Addons/Values/AllMission.default'.
0:32:19 Warning Message: '/' is not a value
0:32:19 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/ModuleCurator_F/Arguments/Addons/Values/None.default'.
0:32:19 Warning Message: '/' is not a value
0:32:19 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/ModuleCurator_F/Arguments/Forced/values/Enabled.default'.
0:32:19 Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Second, as far as I know you are using the wrong recticle in the scope. I will let you know when I find an image.

Third, the volume of the explosion sound seems too low.

But apart from that great addon and keep up your effort.

[i3r4ndon 16]

This thing is awesome, finally an AT rifle for Arma 3 that works properly. Would love to see an AT4 as well. And the only issue I've noticed is the weight, which someone already mentioned on here. Look forward to future updates.

[blackpixxel 53]

Thank you for the helpfull feedback!

The mass should be corrected in the next update. The RPT-output that Snippers showed seems to be related to the NLAW backblast. I used a mixture of different existing effects for the M3, but to get rid of the error I will do an own particle config soon.

The ironsight is also corrected now and should allow for more precise shots. The HEDP-damage against armor is increased, so that it can damage armored vehicles as in real life (there is a video of an M3 HEDP flying through a BMP).

The volume of the explosions is inreased a it as well.

I didn't found anything usefull about the Zeus-error. You said that it is a well-known thing. Would be cool if you could tell me how to fix it, if you know it.

The current reticle is similar to the one that was in ACE, I thought that one was realistic. But I will also try to find an image of the real one.

I will try to do upload an updated version today or tomorrow evening.

If the SMAW is finished, an AT4 may follow.

[raspu86 92]

Really like the feel of that thing.

I'd like to ask if you are willing to turn down the specular a bit. Right now the launcher looks very glossy.

[snippers 36]

Awesome news :)! Once again this is fantastic work and one of the best launchers from any mods.

This video of some swedish soldiers firing the Gustav on a training range may serve as a good reference for a blackblast effect. Also there is a noticeable different sound here when firing, but that doesn't personally bother me.

Great work, I am really looking forward to playing with this and your future work :)!

You defined a parent class in a wrong place I don't know which one I would need to cross check it with the original. I did a complete clean up of your config and it works:

Cool addon. I first started reading up on the Carl Gustaf when I first used it in BFBC2. For some reason, it became my favorite rocket launcher.

Anyways, does your mod include the latest version of the Carl Gustaf (aka M4)?

Nope, but on the old thread he gave it a maybe AFAIK.

[brainslush 13]

Another thing I noticed is that the launcher is missing the shadow lod. There is no shadow on the ground :D

I wronged you with the recticle matter. One could discuss if it's to small but it is the corect one: http://de.scribd.com/doc/28709863/Carl-G-B-GL-385-009-PT-001#scribd , see page 66 and folowing. One would have to check if the speed marks are working, see page 69

[blackpixxel 53]

Here is the new version, with a few changes:

Version 1.1:
