DRA | Ordnance Playground is designed to demonstrate all the new and improved features of Drongo's Artillery. 
The mod has been completely overhauled with a host of additions, and NEW Loitering Munitions Assets have been added to ARMA3. Thanks to Chops we now have the Mini Harpy Drone!

As the title suggests, the Base of Operations itself has been designed around having EVERY Artillery asset at your disposal. Twenty various locations around Altis, with all kinds of targets for you to hit. Targets vary from static, to moving, as well as boats and aerial targets for the CRAM to take out. 

Check the briefing boards for both asset and enemy info. Basic use of DRA info is also displayed on the Whiteboard.
All Artillery assets are user-controlled via the DRA Tablet GUI. Some units also have AI awareness and will engage thew enemy when danger is present. 

Take a wander around the base and have a play with DRA. 
If you also use Drongo's Air Operations there are a few Air Assets to play with as well.
And for some extra fun. A pilotable AH-99, and if taking a break; a few GoKarts with a little makeshift track.

Features : 

• HD custom textures
• Decked out Base of Ops (see above gallery pics)
• Around 20 locations all over Altis with enemies for you to take out using Artillery (see above gallery pics)
• Every Artillery asset the vanilla game has PLUS Drongo's modified Arty Assets
• All new functioning 3D model of Mini Harpy by @Chops (see above gallery pics)
• Cruise Missiles, Beam Strikes, Rail Guns and more (see above video)
• C-RAM now has Red tracers! (see above video)
• Surveillance Satellite Drones at your disposal
• Suicide Drones at your disposal
• Switch to Dusk via Laptop actions
• Zues for #adminLogged 
• Debug Console for #adminLogged

Highly recommend using these mods as well! 
DAO (Drongos Air Operations) will unlock a few extra Air Assets to the players within the mission.
DCE (Drongos Command Enhancement) for just all round control of any AI present in the mission. Also has in-built admin controls. Really just a must have. 

Designed for Local hosting SP or COOP, runs very light with distant AI dynamically simulated. 70-90fps in local testing. Obviously runs like a dream on dedicated servers. This mission has been extensively tested on my dedicated server.

How To Launch Mission Solo or LAN :
