Known Issues:

1. If you change the ballistic model ie other addons units fire maybe way off

2. will not call splash the second time if you run back to back fire missions at the same place

3. if you place multiple units pn the board and take one out you lose your arty unless you call the arty or arty units

before hand so the scripts recognize you.

Hope You Have Fun!!!

can i execute an artillery strike by a trigger?

meaning.. if squad A reaces point A a trigger executes a artillery strike on a preset point..

the_shadow,

not with this addon you have to select aimpoint, rounds, and tell them when to fire you'd probably be better using a scripted artillery strike for that

Just did a quick scenario with this and although it works well enough I have to criticise one part of it and that is the voice overs. I was expecting a "typical" gunnery sarge voice but what you have is, well a rather timid voice, almost apologetic. My advice would be to get someone with a suitable voice to do those voice overs and it would be a better package for it, my 2 cents.

I certainly agree on the women being in the forces but my criticism was the "strength" of the speech and not being male/female. My cousin is in the forces and having heard her in action I would not want to cross her on a bad day!! Like I said, a good addition which I am sure will make its way into many new missions.

Thanks for the mirror old bear  

Does anyone know someone that is working on a M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer or any moble artillery pieces?

I was wanting to add one to the list but I'm not good at making configs from scratch on moving objects like that  any help appreciated

Hi

I have had a play with this and have a couple of questions

1/ can a marker be added to show the minimum range?

2/ How do I set up a group of guns or is it only 1 that will fire?

3/ Will there be an example mission?

A very nice addon.

Thanks for the hard work

I can make a min range marker for the units currently it is 800m

I'm also making a blue marker to appear where the shots actually hit. I will be updating it in a few days working nights so not much time the blue marker should make it easier to site in for everyone especially in jungle,mountain conditions etc... I have a template and will release it on the next update

you can use a number of units they must be grouped and also all must have the exact same conditions in the init field  the way I normally do it is create one unit with everything done then copy paste then finally group them

                           Thanks for the input,

                                      Viper

Talking about the M109....

Well, If I'm right I think SFC.ITZHAC was working on that. He posted some pics a couple of months ago

But unfortunately he hasn't posted anything for a long long time

Hi everyone just updated the artillery to ver 1.1

/////////////////////////////////Updated version 1.1 //////////////////////////

1. added blue marker to show where true shots were landing to make it easier to adjust fire in jungles, mountains ect..

2. added 800m minimum range markers to units

3. now you select rounds after rounds ready chat ie.. "HE rounds ready , over" because of a bug when I tried to run smoke then a quick HE mission on the same target default rounds for everything except smoke and illumination is 3 per unit.

Hope you like the changes and feed back appreciated

I cleaned some of the scripts up alittle I'll be posting a mission for you guys to show you how to add this to units

when you want them to have it via triggers or ifd you want them to use a radio ect...

Viper

P.S.

A template was included with this one just delete the unit you don't want or simply copy and paste

mankyle: I looked at the unit you suggested it was for vbs I think they are using a different system for the tanks ect...

but if I can get ahold of him I'll ask thanks for the tip

I have made a template for the new version basically just

put the template in your arma/user/missions folder there you will see on Sahrani  both units sitting on the runaway delete the group you don't want ie.."arty spotter M119" or "arty spotter D30" then you can move the one where you want to

a have fun    

groups for Template are

3 Artillery pieces

1 Spotter

heres the way to call it in

1. Call "M119","D30" Support

2. Set aimpoint <--must select then "mapclick"

3. Select rounds

4. "Opitional" once rounds are done set # of rounds if you want more (Default is 3)

5. Fire for effect

Sincerely,

Viper

Good stuff, only in vehicles it doesnt work eg. in helicopter and trying to be an flying arty operator. Would be nice to have an countdown to impact and easy adjustment to control range - "to short, adjust range +50/+100/+150/+etc meters".
