Freestyles Nuclear Bombs

Description
Nuclear Weapons have arrived in Arma, again...

This mods add nuclear weapons based on the rework of my Realistic Nuke script (more information below). Currently the mod adds:

  • B61-4 Nuclear Bomb: An unguided nuclear bomb, with selectable yield of 0.3 / 1.5 / 10 / 50 kT of TNT equivalent.
  • B61-4 Nuclear Bomb (30 s): Same as the B61-4 but with 30 seconds delayed-action fuze.
  • AGM-86B ALCM: Air Launched Cruise Missle with laser guidance, possible yield of 5 or 150 kT.
  • AGM-86B ALCM (GPS): Same as AGM-86B ALCM but with GPS guidance (only for Arma 3 aircraft).
  • W48 Nuclear 155mm Shell: Available for the M4 Scorcher and 2S9 Sochor, with 72 tons of TNT equivalent.
  • Eden Editor Module: A configurable editor module, found under Freestyles Nuclear Blast.
  • Zeus Enhanced Module: If Zeus Enhanced is loaded, a configurable nuclear blast module is added under Freestyles Nuclear Blast.
  • Settings: configure the effects of nuclear weapons deployed to better suit your needs.
  • Functions: all functions for the nuclear blast are available for use in your own scripts and missions. Visit the Wiki[github.com] for more informaiton.

Known Bugs
I did not have time to test the mod properly in multiplayer, if you encounter any issues feel free to comment and let me know!

This mod should not be loaded at the same time as my older mod Freestyles Nukes.

About the script

In December 2019 I created my Realistic Nuke script. At the time it was my first real Arma scripting project. It started out as an idea months before and over the course of several more months it became my most complex project yet.
After some time, however, I lost interest in further developing the old script, mainly due to many bugs and bad coding practices inside the script.
So in order to further develop my idea I decided to rewrite the script. I reworked almost every part of the original, this time with more order and more advanced methods.
What you can see in this mission is the result of this rework. It is by far not finished yet, and even some features of the old script are still missing. But with time this version will grow too and hopefully surpass my first attempt at some point.
You can download and read more about the script on its GitHub repository[github.com], which includes a Wiki[github.com] with instructions on how to use the script as well as some FAQ.

The effect is scaleable and customizeable using the script functions. See https://github.com/FreestyleBuild/freestylesNuclearBlast/wiki/Installation-and-Usage for a small documentation on how to use it (when the mod is loaded you do not need to install the script).

Which also brings to mind would it be possible to make this something shoulder launched or in a 40mm Fashion?

Random question about the effect, is it scalable? I want to make something like a fat man shell for a rocket launcher, just not like, absolutely insanely huge

GPS guidance does not appear to do anything
:steamsad: Everything else works great and is fantastic!

@SimmeLime, either use the moduels in the editor (simply place them, then double click for options), use the Zeus modules (with Zeus Enhanced loaded) or equip them on an airplane to use the bomb/missile. To equip them you either place them in the Editor and add them there or you use mods like Pylon Manager which lets you modify plane loadouts in-game.

How do i actually use the bombs? Like what planes can carry them and how do i equip them?

@Zacho, thank you! Currently it is not planned to add them. But I might consider it in the future. Depending on how much time I can spare to develop the mod further!

Any plans to add back the NX-01 B-83 and Diamoandback? Love the mod, ty.
