CMcD Cannon/Main Gun Tweaks

G'day all,

Here is a little addon I've been tinkering away with for a while. It isn't perfect, but it is good fun.

Essentially, this is a weapon replacement for all vehicles using cannons / main guns, which let the AI use the correct ammo on the correct target. For example, the 40mm CTWS on the Warrior 2 will now use HEIT on infantry, and switch to AP to knock out marauding APCs or piss off tanks.

This is done via a complex muzzle system devised by [ASA]Oden, bless his cotton socks. Oden - cheers for giving people access to your source files.

It also fixes a bug or two, and adds ATGM ability to the Russian T72 and T90.

...there are some bugs/limitations - read the readme.

Consider this a public test version. I'm not seeing any game-breaking arseups, or RPT errors, but I expect a few. This is also MP untested. As it is a replacement, it would definitely cause trouble on machines not using it.

There is a little example mission included, see the readme for details.

Summary:

- 1.59 CO + BAF + PMC required. Works fine (seemingly) on 1.60 betas.

- MP untested.

- Example mission included (use the latest 1.60 beta).

- Extreme credits to [ASA]Oden for his work in this field, kyu for help with the example mission and also Mr. Burns earlier on. :)

Yeahaw!

many thanks for this little yet important thingie, will test it right away :D

Cheers mate to you and Oden!

This is an excellent improvement. :bounce3:

This looks very interesting. I'm giving it a try now.

Excellent... *rubs hands together*

Can't wait to see the BMP3 of death! :D

oh, why thank you for this kind sir.

Does it come in UCP? :D

Sounds interesting and long overdue.

pmc and baf required?? :(

everyone at least has the DLC as lite. what arma version do you have Alex?

Thankyou for the kind words. :) If I get time/motivation, I may also apply a fix to that pesky SPG9... now even MOAR deadly/annoying.

pmc and baf required??

The Warrior requires BAF, PMC is mostly just to ensure people are using 1.59. But I agree with kyu above - the DLC should be available as lite?

This looks very interesting. I'm giving it a try now.

It is very good that an ACE dev is giving this a look... please consider incorporating a similar system in your future releases. :)

I have tested it (runs beside with a load of other Mods), and it works very good. It is a Feature what i´ve missed for a long time. Kudos CMD&the other Devs!

everyone at least has the DLC as lite. what arma version do you have Alex?

you're right!

I've found a bug that the mod was caused the M1A2 TUSK (US Army) having empty cannon, but the USMC one is still fine. Could you fix that?

Can we use this mod with ACE ?

Can we use this mod with ACE ?

ACE already includes it.

Ah allright. Thanx.

ACE already includes it.

Yes, it was assimilated quickly, which is great news for all! :)
