R9X Hellfire

Description
Description
The R9X Hellfire is an air to ground missile designed to eliminate individual targets through kinetic energy alone.
Just before impact, the R9X unfolds 6 half meter long blades which slice through their target. The weapon is most effective at negating unwanted collateral damage whilst still retaining its stopping power.


Usage

In terms of arma usage, this missile can be attached to standard aircraft pylons and is capable of laser locking a target up to 6km away. It travels at 1600 km/h and strikes the target from above. It's kill radius is approximately 0.5m from the impact point.

If you intend to use these missiles with a modded aircraft, there is a chance it won't show up in the pylon menu. To overcome this, simply enter either of these code chunks into the init of the aircraft.
To load the R9X into all Pylons:
for "_i" from 1 to 100 do { this setPylonLoadout[_i, "J3FF_PylonRack_r9xHellfire", true] };

To load the R9X into just a specifed pylon (change the "1" to be the pylon number):
this setPylonLoadout[1, "J3FF_PylonRack_r9xHellfire", true]

Use "J3FF_PylonRack_x4_r9xHellfire" for the 4 pylon variant

Extra Info
Because of the way arma 3 works at the moment, this missile will do damage to vehicles and structures, often killing them in a single blow. I reccomend it's used soley on infantry.

The drone used in the video is the USAF MQ9 Reaper

This mod is released under the APL-ND license for Arma 3.

Its good against light armour (BM-21S, Sedans, Trucks etc) But doesn't perform well against heavy armour which makes sense. Very good mod no complaints.

@wolfpack-ultr4 I get it, I also like hellfires with los/dir shooting modes

Can we combine it with our pack and credit @J3FF

An easier way to do this in editor is to double click on Rotor-wing/airplane and go down to pylons, and select R9X.

no its not that i want to fire on helis, i want to fire from helis, and with them flying so low a high profile makes me miss a lot

@wolfpack-ultr4 Hi! this weapon is designed for infantry and ground targets and would not work as intended against helicopters even if there was a los/dir version. Because of that don't intend to add it
wolfpack-ultr4 5 Apr, 2024 @ 11:56am 
its quite hard to use it on a helo, as it always strikes from the top, can you do a los/dir version?

@FraggerNut I'm not sure which hud you're talking about. The drone is from the USAF MQ9 Reaper mod. The hud elements in the upper left and right are vanilla.
