Drongos Artillery

Description
Drongo's Artillery (DRA) adds semi-realistic artillery, virtual artillery, cruise missiles, suicide drones/loitering munitions, grenade-dropping drones, orbital beam and railgun strikes, C-RAM, Counter Battery radar, Electronic Warfare and satellites to Arma 3. It is based on CoC Unified Artillery for OFP. It puts AI-controlled batteries, virtual batteries and orbital strikes under player control. A degree of skill is both required and rewarded by the system. Users can control sheaf type, sheaf size, round type, angle, fuze, etc. Multiple ammunition types can be used in a single barrage (eg. HE with smoke).

THEFT OF MY WORK
My artillery mod was stolen, edited and re-released in violation of the license by BlackAlpha of tier1ops.eu. Here is a video showing my original work and his stolen edit:

Please share this video and let the community know that BlackAlpha and tier1ops.eu are thieves. Accept no inferior ripoffs. If you find someone using the copy, direct them to this mod.

CHANGELOG
v1.53
Added: Module to allow AI to call counter-battery missions
Added: Module so AI can use suicide drones (MiniHarpy, AR2X, RC40 from Reaction Forces CDLC)
Fixed: Invisible targets attached by artillery radar were sometimes destroying rockets
Fixed: INDFOR artillery radar was not working
Changed: Vanilla 155mm and MLRS systems will now be more effective against AFVs

I used to have the mini harpy launcher option as artillery support last time I played, but right now, it is not showing up, looks like it is not in the game anymore.. is it faction specific?

I know. I read manual. But they don't fire anytime. Only Praetorian fired. And for example Mk 21 Centurion has same capability like Praetorian and do nothing.
Btw, can the ability to shoot down missiles and shells be changed?
Drongo  [author] 30 Jun @ 1:13am 
Effectiveness in destroying incoming shells:
MIM-145 Defender: Very poor
Mk21 Centurion: Very good
Mk49 Spartan: Terrible
IFV-6a Cheetah: Very good
Praetorian-1C: Very good
ZSU-39 Tigris: Very good
S750 Rhea: Terrible

I had artillery radar placed but the SAM still didn't want to fire. Only C-RAM fired on targets. But I didn't use the "tablet." Is it necessary?
Drongo  [author] 28 Jun @ 6:07pm 
Place an artillery radar. The readme explains it in more detail and gives the effectiveness of different AD systems.
HappyRooster007 28 Jun @ 5:53pm 
@Drongo
How to use SAM systems like MIM-145 Defender, Mk21 Centurion or Mk49 Spartan for air defence, please? Because they don't fire. Only Praetorian from your mod shooting enemy missiles or shells, but others doesn't. Can you help me?
Marki 15 Jun @ 2:50am 
But if there is a way to target someone with Mini Harpy in Zeus?
I know that in Switchblade mod you can press on an enemy and switchblade will ram them.
Anything like that in this mod?
