SEAD missiles by VTI

Description
This small addon contains five anti-radiation-missiles for the ArmA III vanilla and RHS aircraft.
The missiles can be locked and fired onto groundbased radar sources from distances up to 10 km. They have diffrent speed and damage output.
They can be used by all vanilla airplanes via pylon settings. The Mi-48 Kajman can also use one.
The line of sight of the missiles is not blocked by smoke but you can avoid the missile with turning off the radar and move.

The basic problem with these is that only the Wipeout and the Neophron are equipped with anti-radiation-sensors. For that reason only those are able to use the full potential of the missiles. Theother aircraft have to detect the target first with other sensors e.g. active radar to be able to lock onto them what might be not the best for your structural integrity when facing a radar based AA unit.
You are able to use the missiles own sensors though. for that you have to point directly at the target and press default "T".

KH-25MPU: relatively small Opfor ARM with lower speed but can be used by the Mi-48 Kajman attack helicopter.

KH-58U: high speed ARM for Opfor jets, available also in dual racks.

AGM-78D Standard ARM: older Blufor and Independent ARM.

AGM-88E HARM: high speed ARM for Blufor, available also in dual racks.

AGM-122 Sidearm: small and light Blufor ARM usable also by helicopters.

This Addon also adds SEAD variants of the 3 main Jets DLC planes:
- F/A-181E Black Wasp II: equipped wit 4 AGM-88E HARM (NATO)
- To-201BM Shikra: equipped wit 4 KH-58U (CSAT)
- A-149E Gryphon: equipped wit 2 AGM-78D Standard ARM (AAF)

Added support for RHS T-50 (external pylons), Mig-29S, Su-25, Ka-52, A-10A, F-22A and AH-1Z. You do not need RHS to run this mod though.

F-22A Doesn't seem to have ARMs in pylon settings. Just about every other aircraft does, except for the F-22A. The best candidate for SEAD :steamsad:

Could you do a PL-12A (CH-AA-7A) variant, it's a PL-12 fitted with a passive seeker for anti-radiation missions

Welp, it was fun while it lasted, but with Encore, B01 is adding proper, vanilla-implemented SEAD missiles.

NP. Thanks for bringing some in for strictly vanilla aircraft though. Lots of people will appreciate your mod fo no new dependencies.

Note: Steam is lacking a reply function where you are able to tag the person you are actually replying to...
I never used Firewills packages much but I'm sure he does top of the line work and he does indeed have an AGM-88.

Venator, I was responding to the guy asking about AGM88s. I'm pretty sure there is already an AGM88 in AWS. If he's using the EA-18G they should be available for it.

That's possible. This addon is supposed to add ARMs to vanilla aircraft.
My target is to keep it as small as possible. That's why I use only models and textures that are already in game.

OMFG, I thought there was already an AGM-88 HARM in Firewill's AWS that is radar homing?
