Description
Airburst shells
Airburst shells are artillery shells that are designed to explode in mid-air, releasing a burst of shrapnel that can cover a wider area than a ground burst. They are typically used to target enemy troops or vehicles that are in cover or hiding behind obstacles, as the airburst can reach them even if they are not directly visible.

RHS patch
Use this mod if you want to integrate this mod with RHS, make sure you have both this and the patch enabled.

This mod brings these shells to Arma 3 with a detailed fragmentation pattern and little to none performance loss.
New content: Airburst 82mm, 155mm, 230mm and 40mm

The shells were added to the vanilla Arma 3 vehicles and you may find the grenades in the arsenal.
See the first video to see the logic behind this script.

Different shells have different potentials, mortar shells will harm exposed infantry but will deal little to no damage to vehicles. 230mm Rockets will instead cause massive damage to vehicles and infntry on a large area.

If you don't want to use the mod and want a 100% vanilla experience us this following comp:

The Pook artillery pack got a good M-777 howitzer.
Project RACS got a lot of older ww2 and post ww2 artillery platforms like the M198.

Looking for a M777 or a M198 155mm Howitzer; any ideas where to find one?

@Dankan37 Are you considering updating this to include the recently released CDLC weapons, especially the 120mm mortar?

Has anyone found a way to make the airburst MLRS/arty rounds into the default round of the launcher? Would help integrate with Drongos and using it with AI

Fire! Would love to see more stuff like this, maybe cluster ammunition or suicide drones.
