Incon Airpower
Script package for Arma 3 mission makers that allows players to call in air support for target tracking and precision air strikes. Unlike other CAS scripts, Incon Airpower simulates high-altitude strikes where the aircraft is neither visible nor audible from the ground. As such, the aicraft itself is not spawned, only simulated, thereby avoiding all the hassle of Arma's pilot AI. Works best in single player and low-player-count COOP (lots of players using tracking may cause considerable server lag).
Perfect for missions involving SF teams working behind enemy lines to call in coalition airpower onto enemy assets (as in the ongoing real-life operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq / Syria).
SP / Co-op / Dedi compatible.
Requires CBA.
Features
Call in guided airstrikes with the radio menu
Mark targets with laser, smoke, chemlights or IR strobes (night only for chemlights and strobes, day only for smoke)
Aircraft can lock on to and strike multiple targets simultaneaously (thanks to a slightly modified version of kylania's awesome guided missile script)
Optional collateral damage assesment by pilot - checks for nearby friendlies, civilians and sensitive targets and will automatically disengage if collateral damage is too high
Optional full NATO voice procedure simulation to guide pilot on to target
No need for map with airstrip or adding in any aircraft
Restrict JTAC capabilities to units with certain items in their inventory
Optional unit tracking on map, with accuracy that degrades with overhead cover, weather etc. (only shows targets that would be visible from overhead):
- (optional) restrict to units with UAV terminal only
- differentiates between friendlies (blue), unarmed infantry (white), armed infantry (pink), civilian vehicles (white, large) and non-friendly vehicles (pink, large)
If using a laser designator, the player can mark multiple targets at once and give clearance for a simultaneaous strike:
- mark 2 tanks and an infantry patrol, and the aircraft will track and engage those targets simultaneously, even if they move
- repeat your last mark if in doubt
- if your final target is a laser mark, the aircraft will engage your laser mark while it is active, and revert to your original mark position if it looses your laser mark
Realistic air speeds of ordnance:
- the higher the altitude of the aircraft (recommended at least 3000m), the longer the ordnance will take to hit the target
- missiles will travel faster than bombs
- ordnance speeds based on real data
