GX - Drones

Description


Information
Hello everyone!

This mod aims to add a little bit more spice for those who enjoy operating drones. The mod is a join project between Turpin and myself, and I dare say this might just be the best one I released yet.

What it contains
This mod contains 3 drones which are all controlled through the UAV terminal.
- Black Hornet 4
- Drone40
- Honeybadger

The Black Hornet 4 is a very small drone meant for short distance flight. Its ideal for flying through windows and checking out the interior of a building. The drone can be deployed through the vanilla drop and assemble system or ACE which gives you an additional option to deploy it via the equipment menu.

The Drone40 is a drone that is deployed via a 40mm grenade launcher. Its sports a Recon variant with a 360 capable turret, a HE version with a small explosive yield and a smoke variant. The drone can be deployed through a grenade launcher, via the vanilla drop and assemble system or ACE which gives you an additional option to deploy it via the equipment menu.

The Honeybadger is a UGV meant to destroy or disable vehicles by driving underneath them and detonating. The drone can be deployed through the vanilla drop and assemble system or ACE which gives you an additional option to deploy it via the equipment menu.

We would also like to give a shout out to Lexx and the Reaction Forces CDLC for code inspiration, especially for the Drone40 part and how to deploy it.

Your flying drones are LITERALLY just copy pastes of dlc but they take up more space in the bag, and your AT drone drives terribly, LOVES to flip upside down (GREAT design btw battlebots), and is instantly aimbotted by tanks from a football field away anyways. Discovering the arma 3 modding community has raised my blood pressure and im 24 LOL.

Had a combat testing of the Black Hornet 4, got a couple of issues:

1) thermal sensor and gunner position:
IRL it does have thermal sensors (product by FLIR) and in game the pilot camera has thermal mode as well. Reason why this is brought up is because the thermal sensor gives the drone AI, hence the drone controller, of target knowledge.

2) Visibility: the black hornet is targetable by MRAPs on distance over 300m.

3) Auto-pilot: if on autonomous mode and waypointed to follow unit, the black hornet will climb unlimited altitude if unit being followed stays still (I have a blackhornet following myself flying at 1200m and climbing).

And please dont nerf the drones too much? Because single players or small scale multiplayers need this, and the IRL ones are created for an advantage, aka OP.

Any chance of adding more camera options / gimbal camera on the Black Hornet? As in real life it has 3 modes including a 45 degree downward facing camera.

@Turnip Good Mod, big thanks to you

It would be great to add a limited control range for these drones with the visual interferences appearance, as implemented in Crocus drones

GOOD

Any chance of a variant/update to the Black Hornet that reduces its visability to AI? Just seems a bit weird that a drone the size of my hand is being spotted by John Rifleman at almost 200m in the middle of the night. Makes using it a pain since it doesn't get a coaxial camera, so you have to fly it in closer to see much of anything, which runs the risk of alerting the terminator-level AI.

(this is probably a hard cope, but never hurts to ask anyways.)

would it be possible to create a armed or kamikaze naval drone? :3
