MLRS

[fierce compass]

The mod has moved to Tactical Flava

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D550926D43F1409-TacticalFlava

[wicked jolt]

Thats cool

[tepid palm]

Awsome

Btw I used and tested it before that rockets shot out super far that I had to chase them in GM

If I set the right elevation and azimuth will the rocket go higher and father than projected

[fierce compass]

If you tested on version 1.2, then there are problems in everything there))
I removed that version of the mod from the Workshop.
In 1.3, I hope the current ballistics are enough, I haven't checked it myself yet. I think I'll have time to make it +-adequate or leave it current (updated with the patch)

[lavish gale]

whats the mod link

[fierce compass]

The mod will be in patch 1.3.

[tepid palm]

No one knows when the patch date is right?

[fierce compass]

I think it's spring

[tepid palm]

Ahhh

[lavish gale]

dope

[fierce compass]

There Are Several Options for projectile scattering.

The first one is about 150 square meters
The second one is about 250-300 square meters (can be increased to 300-350 +-)

Which option is better? What do you think

[tepid palm]

This is nice

Were you ever gonna put chart to assist players to do the math or is there already one

[grizzled lintel]

150m looks better to me. doesn't seem too accurate but still low enough dispersion to be effective

[fierce compass]

The tablet is already on Paper in the Arsenal.

If I don't change the ballistics (I'll probably leave it as it is)

[fierce compass]

I'm also inclined towards this, the only thing I would like to do is make the gun mobile when firing, like a mortar.
So that with each shot there would be a shift along the Horizon and Vertically. I don't understand how it's done on a mortar yet.

[molten crystal]

Does this version come without any rhs dependency?

[fierce compass]

Yep, Full Vanila

[molten crystal]

Yoooo

[tepid palm]

You think it’s a possible development for a stationary and portable missile system to lock on direct coordinates given according to map

[half stirrup]

doesn’t space striders MLRS do that?

[tepid palm]

Wait what it does.

[fierce compass]

From the point of view of the BM-21, I do not consider it necessary, since the platform mechanism is manually guided. Still, I wanted to make a Vanilla version of the game.
RHS will do what SpaceStrider does.

[tepid palm]

Oh Sorry. I just didn’t know if it was possible

[fierce compass]

no problem) We need to wait a little bit for BI to implement the entire roadmap.

[tepid palm]

Yeah I heard from a YouTuber that there roadmap on the website isn’t all they are gonna do. They also have some tricks up their sleeves

[fierce compass]

I uploaded the EXP version, you can test it.

[tepid palm]

Uhhh wait I’m on console I dont think BI updated 1.3 to console

[fierce compass]

only PC

[grizzled lintel]

nice view

[tepid palm]

Fireworks

[fierce compass]

We would like to add more speed to the missiles, without changing the ballistics... It would be More Beautiful. And also the randomization of arrivals

[fierce compass]

Changed the damage and the area from the arrival of the rocket. See how it affects the GMC and if someone is using it on the test Server. There too.
The difficulty is that if we take the real values in KG for explosives, then full hell happens for FPS after the explosion.
I'm looking for the perfect balance. the TM62 has 8100g of explosives, the Grad Rocket (9m22) 20000g, after such fps dies)

I set up 5500g of explosives, it seems to be fine.

and how much FPS will you lose overall?

[small acorn]

Are you going to do it for both platforms or just for PC?"

[fierce compass]

In theory, it works on all platforms.

[small acorn]

and is it available for download?

[fierce compass]

only on the EXP version of the game

[nocturne wigeon]

I saw that you were planning on making the PG-1M's crosshair, you wouldn't mind if I helped make it for you, right?))) I have to still add a couple stuff to it though before I make other variants that you may need

[fierce compass]

Thanks)
I found the scope, but it has terrible quality.
I'll be glad to

[nocturne wigeon]

ok, I am still slowly working on it, I am basing it off of the second image

[fierce compass]

I also used this image from the instruction manual for the sight or for the BM-21 , I don't remember anymore

[nocturne wigeon]

this should be transparent, let me know if you need me to make any adjustments for it to be compatible with arma tools

[fierce compass]

It is necessary that there be such channels. It turns out that you need to make an Alpha.
It seems to be

Next step in optic creation will be making of a reticle texture. Create a new texture in graphic editor of your choice and start painting the texture. In case of Sample Optic, TGA texture with Alpha channel was used. In Alpha channel section, which is supposed to be transparent was painted in black.

Vanilla reticles also tends to use PNGs with transparency in the background although creation of such might be troublesome if software that you are using doesn't allow preservation of RGB values when alpha is set to 0.

And make the grid itself white.

[nocturne wigeon]

I noticed a glaring issue with that original Alpha, it had a weird edge on it, it is fixed

[fierce compass]

The background is black, not transparent

[fierce compass]

Here's how in this Case it is necessary

Iam fix it

The short divisions should probably be moved a little further away from the center.

It probably won't even be critical in the game.
Ty!

[nocturne wigeon]

no problem my friend

[small acorn]

will it have thermobaric ammunition?

[fierce compass]

I'm still thinking about it. 100% will be cassette.
Thermobaric systems are more suitable for the TOC-1A environment.

[raw totem]

In my excitement of learning about this mod I've discovered that you can download mods made for 1.3 even if you're on an older version.

With this mod, it's ammunition doesn't exist so can't shoot it. But you can still drive it around and aim it. Again I know it's not supposed to work on 1.2.1 but it's interesting that it does.

[fierce compass]

Part of the toolkit is already available in 1.2, it is being added to patches, although the full functionality of these tools may be revealed in patches later.
For example, ShellMoveComponent was added to the regular version in the summer. This component is now responsible for the physics of the behavior of the Mortar shell.I hope I spelled it out correctly.

[fierce compass]

Changed the projectile's flight speed (increased).
The ballistic chart has changed (slightly)
It will be possible to charge the BM-21 from a large Heavy Transport station (It also works from a rocket depot for helicopters, I don't understand how to remove it)

[opaque marlin]

So we can reload it now from those point?

[fierce compass]

Unload and load the rockets, right.

Arsenal Ural works the same way.

[opaque marlin]

Sweet

[fierce compass]

I will not update on Exp, I will wait for the patch release tomorrow.

[lavish gale]

i cant wait for this

[quasi grotto]

bro very nice mod but can you explain how to use it? is the minimum range to fire 3000m ? i cant figure it out im trying to use the same logic in aiming as the mortars guide on youtube but it does not seem to work

[fierce compass]

Thanks! The logic is the same as on mortars, the ballistic chart is on a piece of paper in the arsenal. calculations are made in a straight line, the height already needs to be taken into account.
If there's a specific moment, it's better to show a screenshot of what you can't figure out.

Or I just didn't understand your question)

[untold shale]

Hello, when will you add cluster munitions?

[fierce compass]

By Mid-April + Damage correction for HE

[dull schooner]

Love the mod! Just wanted to ask is the explosion effects final, or are you going to make it a bit larger?

[fierce compass]

Thank you very much!
It was a temporary plug, maybe I'll change it, but not for sure. I think when I make a test thermobaric effect, I will gain more experience to create high-quality particles.

[dull schooner]

Sounds good brotha, keep up the great work!

[fierce compass]

🫡

[ebon cypress]

Heyo! I’ve been having a lot of fun with this mod, it’s really good. I’m wondering tho, do you think it’d be possible for AI to be able to aim and fire it with the artillery fire command?

[fierce compass]

Thanks!
Yes, I have plans to make an AI spreadsheet for Bots. It's still difficult, I don't understand how to do it, even taking into account the guide.But there are definitely plans!

[quasi grotto]

dw i figured it out and its a great mod thanks for making it

[fierce compass]

🫡

[fierce compass]

fix sight HUD
Added a ballistic scale in the scope

[fierce compass]

Add Balistic Table

[wide sentinel]

Can you explain the table?

[small acorn]

the same as this

[fierce compass]

If you take the Table for the Soviet mortar, it will indicate similar data as on the American one.

[wide sentinel]

Thank you very much ❤️

[fierce compass]

add Missile 9М43 Smoke

[fierce compass]

In short, there is a problem, for the adequate implementation of Smoke and Cluster rockets, it is necessary that the Rocket be detonated at a certain height from the ground and then the sub-ammunition was already flying. For this purpose, a component is suitable that is responsible for Fuze Time and simultaneously adjusts it manually or automatically.
So I need a constant automatic calculation of this detonation time.
This can be observed on lighting projectiles from a mortar.

Anyone who can figure this out will be grateful! The secret lies in the interaction of the projectile with the mortar. I still couldn't make it out.

[fierce compass]

fix Asset Weapon
Hollow guides

I've been thinking about how to do this for a year and a half, considering that I'm a full 0 in Blender

[opaque marlin]

Are you able to stop people from reloading it while it’s firing?

[fierce compass]

Not yet, I haven't set up WeaponBlast yet.

It needs to be set up in a good way

[lavish turtle]

Sorry if this been asked before but can the AI fire accurately on their own ?

[fierce compass]

Unfortunately, not yet (although a ballistic chart has been created for them), since a component of missiles and helicopter pads is used, most likely because of this they cannot fire.
Probably when Bots will be able to fly and shoot from Helicopters to the pilot's position, then it will work.

I really want to implement it myself

[lavish turtle]

Ok hopefully they do that soon but great mod tho it’s very well made

[fierce compass]

Thanks!
I also hope that in any case, when it is implemented, you will find out about it.

[lavish turtle]

Definitely will I’ll always come to check here

[long mulch]

Hey just a question but I’ve been having problems downloading it(I play on Xbox) it might be a local issue just checking

[fierce compass]

Hi, as far as I know, there are guys with XBOX, the X and S series, everything seems to be rocking.

[long mulch]

Ty I’ll try it ltr

[queen ember]

*Edited: Downloaded and worked for me on series X with a ton of stuff except Midbruh’s rappelling Huey, which has the issue.

[long mulch]

That mods really buggy with other mods so I stopped using it

[fierce compass]

If there are any errors or problems, I would be glad if you would send me something to finalize.

[long mulch]

If I get to it today I will

[lavish turtle]

Hey so idk if I’m doing something wrong but seems like the rockets don’t register or disappear after firing because Im not seeing any impacts after I shoot.

On Xbox btw* forgot to add that

[tepid palm]

Same thing happens to me

This isn’t an issue I believe that vehicle is farther distant targets

Liked I can shoot half way across Everon with those so I believe you’ll have to somehow figure out a mathematical solution of where you want those rockets to hit

Hint: just move the elevation a inch up can me 500m up(not exact, but have that mindset)

I’m on Xbox too

[lavish turtle]

Ok I’ll try that ty

[fierce compass]

👋 So they just flew over the hill, you have a distance of 3200m almost (hint on the right)

Bm-21 is only suitable for maps from 4-5 km+

If you want to test it, I'll use Everon, don't forget the height adjustment.

[lavish turtle]

Yea I figured it was my mistake ty for the help

[stable hill]

can AI use this nice vehicle to attack player bases?

[fierce compass]

Unfortunately, he can't use it yet.
As I understand it, the AI does not read the Missile component ballistic table.
Most likely, they will be able to shoot when, which will give them the opportunity to control helicopters and fire missiles.

[lusty horizon]

How I relaod the Bm 21 ?

[fierce compass]

Vehicle Station(Middle)
Ammo Truck
and Rocket station

There is an action button for reloading behind the guides.

[pliant root]

Hi,

do you have the formula of how many mils we need to aim higher or lower for when the target has a higher/lower altitude

[fierce compass]

height correction
(h1-h2)*1000/distance
h1= higher targer
h2= higher MRLS

Like this formula

and
final aim = height angle + height correction

Everything seems to be correct)

[pliant root]

so if the MLRS is 8m and target is 152m and range is 5700 the correction would be 2.52

higher yes?

[fierce compass]

hmm
sight 0288 mils
sight correction 0313 mils

[pliant root]

we just shot 3 grad 120 rockets on figari only 2 houses remain XD

[fierce compass]

your angle 5700m=288 mils
correction=(152-8)*1000)/5700=25,..... mils
288+25=313mils

[pliant root]

look right

il wait until my Arty Observer is at the target and then we can see if the aim is true

[fierce compass]

ok)

[pliant root]

it worked 120 rockets on Levi

gm made a video will post it in a sec

[fierce compass]

Did you get to the right place?

[pliant root]

yes

[fierce compass]

• Levi

Let's remember🫡

[pliant root]

whats if the target is lower?

then take the negative number and lower the aim?

[fierce compass]

yep

[pliant root]

ok thx

[calm dome]

Felmor? i remember you, didnt u run Darkgrus realism server 4 or something? (sorry for off topic)

[pliant root]

yes i did

[fierce compass]

Adjustments to the MLRS recharge will be made soon.

It was:
All actions lasted 0.5 seconds.

It will become:
Resupply HE 5 sec
Resupply Smoke 5 sec
Refound Rocket 2 sec

This was done for Balance, as well as to get closer to the real time of reloading MLRS manually (just a little bit).

A full charge of the package will take 200 seconds.

What would you understand) The real time for charging a full package manually is from 7 minutes and above

[copper sapphire]

Got a question, so I’ve recently used your BM-21 on my GM milsim server and it puts the server in a crash loop. Could that be because it’s conflicting with a mod or?

[fierce compass]

Is there an error log?
Friends use it on a Conflict Server for 100-128 people
They didn't have that.
It is also used by some Server Users,
so far no one has reported these errors. You're the first.

[fierce compass]

Ty

[copper sapphire]

I’m tried to get an error log but wasn’t able to. Believe it’s just conflicting with another mod

[lusty horizon]

The AI can shoot the BM 21 like a mortar ?

[fierce compass]

Hi, no.
Unfortunately, he won't be able to soon.
Since the mechanics are not Mortar-based, helicopter Pods mechanics were used.
Until the AI can shoot at the Pods, the AI will not be able to shoot from the BM.

[fierce compass]

1.0.7
Increased accuracy of fire. About 15-20%
Reduced damage to buildings
Increased shrapnel damage radius
Increased shrapnel damage
Сhanged sound shot

[fierce compass]

1.0.8
Reduced damage to buildings (it didn't work out perfectly, but it will be a little more lively)
Increased explosion radius

[lavish turtle]

@fierce compass sorry if this has been asked before but do you think you’ll every make a more modern MRLS mod with guided munitions like the Smerch or Tornado S ?

[fierce compass]

It's possible to use the BM-21 without computers and guided projectiles (but then the whole point of such systems is lost)
However, there is currently no need for such systems in Arma Reforger.
Large mod maps are not supported by consoles, as an example. This affects approximately 30% of players.
All maps are mostly 6x6 or 8x8 km
The BM-21 and M270 with mortars are more than sufficient.
The maximum number of TOS-1A systems that can be used in this situation is

[shadow coyote]

Hi, there was a problem. Your grad does not appear in the list of cars in gm although the mod is installed. I can show the list of mods but I do not understand why this happens

[fierce compass]

Please send the screenshots.

[shadow coyote]

screenshots of mod list or car list?

[fierce compass]

And where were you watching? Locally or on the server?

[fierce compass]

Yes
I have it displayed in local mode

Try resetting all the object filters, I've had this issue with other mods.

[shadow coyote]

yes, in local if this particular mod is the only one installed then everything works. But with other mods then either mod conflicts arise or there is no idea why

I can send you a list of mods in a private message for fun, I'll check it out if possible

[fierce compass]

As you said, it means a conflict with some mods.
They can forcefully edit the list of available vehicles in the GM mod or prioritize their own list, which may not include the B-21

[shadow coyote]

and how can the priority itself be bypassed? I can add your mod to my custom mod and is it possible to see which mod increases the loading priority of certain mods

[fierce compass]

Create your own custom mod by adding the relationships of all the mods you are interested in. In this file, you can edit the entire list of vehicles you are interested in, such as the USSR vehicles.
Use the root file in Arma Reforger itself.

And check it in the GM mod

[shadow coyote]

I tried to make it my custom mod but still the same problem occurs. I registered all the cars and in tools it works correctly but already specifically in the game with this mod loaded on the server it still specifically does not appear

[lavish turtle]

That makes a lot of sense but the problem is the NATO US side already has the M270 MRLS which is a lot more modern/accurate to the B-21 you see the same issue with tanks/ifvs the Soviet side has old T-72s while nato has upgraded Bradley’s and tanks

[fierce compass]

Let's try to make a 3M16

[small acorn]

A question, is that going to throw a mine or mine a radius?

[cursive lodge]

Do you plan on making the MLRS work the same way too? Or something similar?

I ask in regards to my conflict server keeping Nato and Ru vehicles separate

[fierce compass]

This will lead to the Minification of the radius. At least that's what I plan to do

[fierce compass]

This is still on the Experimental Version of AR. But I've been planning to do remote mining for a long time. I hope I'll be able to do everything as planned by the 1.5v release

[burnt ravine]

i feel like MLRS in current stage with cluter missles could blow up a server ;d

[fierce compass]

Simplified the whole system to simplicity.... Why didn't I think of this before..... Then I might be able to do remote mining with anti-tank mines. 9M28K missile
It probably doesn't look very visually appealing. But I don't think it's a big deal.

[fierce compass]

I also changed the Smoke Shell.
All 5 submunitions will appear at different points around the missile arrival zone. Previously, there were fixed coordinates.
I will release it in 1.5v

[fierce compass]

Added a mod to the EXP Branch client.
Feel free to test it.

[raw totem]

"Smore"?

[fierce compass]

Smoke

But I won't do it anymore, I've found a better solution.

[raw totem]

I think s'mores would be cool too lol

[fierce compass]

[fierce compass]

Testing mine extensions.Let's call it the Alpha Version.

These are not zones, as in the existing Claymore mods. This is precisely the touching of the texture (its collisions)

[cursive lodge]

How many different mods did you make other than the bm21?

[fierce compass]

Only him. The rest was small and has long been forgotten. I did it for the servers.

[raw totem]

Looks promising.
But I worry that when 1.5 releases the vanilla ap mines could break this behavior.

[fierce compass]

At first, there will be Vanilla mines, while Comrade works on a new mine model

[fierce compass]

Let's try to be a little more realistic....

[small acorn]

And if you don't know Russian?

[fierce compass]

I'll translate, don't worry I wanted to show you what I've got.
The point is, we'll be using the Mils at the base of the turret. We'll be using the wheel. And then we'll use the button to auto-aim at the specified angles.
In the cabin, there will be a Ural4320 with only a start button. The scope will be outside for alignment. I want to make the controls more realistic.

In the video, I select the angle that the turret should face.
Then I press the button, and the turret moves to the desired angle.

[fierce compass]

Waiting for 1.5
1️⃣ New Guidance System. It's simpler and a little more interesting.
The Shooter and the Sight remained in the cockpit
2️⃣ New smoke projectiles. 5 smoke zones now appear randomly!!! (caution, do not shoot at people, it may cause basic damage )
3️⃣ Updated 3M16 Mining Zones. The self-destruction timer is enabled (the Entity Zone is removed to avoid cluttering the GameMode resources). The timer can be edited in the Zone Prefab. The base life timer for the Zone is 15-20 minutes.You can disable and enable the Min timer in Edit Scenario Properties

Soon....
1️⃣ New Mine Model, POM-2
We will try to implement a system of sensors(strings), and the strings worked during tests in the game.
2️⃣ Try to implement the shooting button on the Ural panel (separate the functionality from the shooter)
The sight will be in the area of the angle setting buttons.
3️⃣ Make a BackBlast, try it. Because it doesn't work in the game with the current Muzzle.

[raw totem]

"The self-destruction timer is enabled"
Just for clarification this means the minefield will despawn after 20 minutes?

[fierce compass]

That's right

In the standard state, the timer is active after the zone appears.

I have a timer set for 10 seconds in the video

[small acorn]

You will put thermobaric and cluster munitions

[fierce compass]

For this version of the BM-21 (if we take that era), as far as I can find information, there were no cluster and thermobaric missiles.
Only these,
M-21OF (9M22U) with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead;
MZ-21 (9M22S) with an incendiary warhead;
9M28F with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead;
9M28S with an incendiary warhead
9M28D with an agitation head part
9M519-1...7 a set of seven shells for creating radio interference;
3M16 with a cluster head part equipped with anti-personnel mines;
9M28K with a cluster head part equipped with anti-tank mines;

I can make them, of course, but I don't see the point in using them yet. Especially cluster ones. The HE missile already has good damage and a large area of effect.
Only the TOS-1A or TOS-1 is suitable for the Thermobaric missile, as these vehicles are specialized for this type of missile.

Uploaded on the Experimental version

[raw totem]

The cluster munitions are for killing both the enemy and their computer lol.

[fierce compass]

Well, if we're talking about the M270, then yes, based on the feedback from the players, it's going through hell.

As far as I remember, Stryder's Cassette is implemented as a lot of VOG25s exploding in an area, but it needs to be done as a fragmentation effect. It's probably just a hassle to do, and I understand that.

[lusty horizon]

Waiting for 1.5 .... soon.... between tomorrow and the end of the universe

[fierce compass]

You can download it now on the game's EXP Client, but for some reason I can't download the mod and check it out (( after today's update

[lusty horizon]

The joke was just that this update klamacz has already announced that it will take a while to come out for STABLE

I have already uninstalled EXP, waiting for it to come out for stable

[fierce compass]

You did everything right.😄

[raw totem]

Yeah exp is kinda redundant for consoles now.

[fierce compass]

God, I did a BackBlast......Since BI didn't do it themselves, I had to use a screwdriver.

[shadow quartz]

@fierce compass Can I please know if there is a more detailed version of the table, with additional values for the flat and overhead trajectories?

Or maybe there is a formula I can use to calculate them myself?

[fierce compass]

#1336520461399363635 message

[shadow quartz]

I already use this for my calculations, but depending on the situation, I may want to use a overhead trajectory so that the shells fly over mountains, etc., when I am in a low-altitude area.

In the game, when you bring the sight to a certain value, say above 1000mils, it shows that the range drops to about 5000m, whereas at 560mils, the range is about 8000m.

This means that Grad can shoot overhead and even has approximate ready-made sights. To use the altitude correction formula, etc., you need to know how much to set initially.

Let's say I have a calculator, and using your tables, I use interpolation to calculate the exact mils for each range, then I use the altitude corrections and the corrections by the angle.

This is all based on your table, but the table only gives the flat trajectory.

How to shoot at an overhead trajectory?

[fierce compass]

We (in the Russian Federation) call this Mortar shooting, if I understand your question correctly.
Unfortunately, due to the peculiarities of the Sky in the game (it is low), this type of shooting is difficult to implement for MLRS missiles. A rocket or other projectile simply hits the ceiling and receives an extremely high value of air resistance. For this reason, there may be problems when shooting on maps with high mountains.

[burnt ravine]

Are you planning to create something for US/Nato side? I know there is M270 on workshop but it’s not ballanced and has a lot of bugs, so it’s not good idea to add for multiplayer servers.

[fierce compass]

As far as I know, the only alternative for US\NATO is the M142 HIMARS.
I'm not particularly good at modding, so I don't have the best models.
As far as I know, the M270 has one drawback, which is the configuration of the Cassette Missile. I would like to modify it.

However, I haven't heard any complaints from players regarding this mod. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[opaque marlin]

You could ask space to work on the m270 he would probably be happy to let you work on it

[burnt ravine]

its not thread about m270 so i will not uplad any videos about it, but as a example for me the canon is getting stuck in one position after selecting the target area, and there is no way to change it.

[novel sentinel]

bro if this gets added.... lets just say its going to be HELL for america i hope it does please arma gods add this we want it

[lavish turtle]

Really ?? To me the M270 is light years ahead the nato side has a huge advantage since it’s a lot more accurate all you need to do is use the calculator and fire there.

For the BM-21 you have to do it all manually and even then it probably still won’t be as accurate

[burnt ravine]

thats why i said its not ballanced compared to BM-21 🙂

[fierce compass]

These machines have their own niches, and they can't be compared. They even have their own specific tasks.

The 9K57 or 9K58 can be used as a counterweight for the M270 or M142.
The BM-21 can only be used by its counterparts in the European countries of the former Warsaw Pact, such as Poland, Romania, and others.

[fierce compass]

Whoever liked this work, I'm also making a new system, but it's still in Beta.

[fierce compass]

As far as I know, the old mod is no longer available in the Workshop, at least I haven't found it.
I decided to create my own version.

This way, the guys and I will get to the 2A18
In the meantime, we are making ATGM

[stone fossil]

maybe one could add a tow truck of some sorts for towing vehicles with damaged tires or engine

[fierce compass]

This is the logic, but instead of a tow truck, you can use any vehicle in the game.

[sturdy storm]

hey of course here https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/64843AD9D914C9A7-ADM_NewTowing

[fierce compass]

Yes, I'm already working on my own version, thank you.

[stone fossil]

how does it work?

[fierce compass]

In 1.6, the ballistics of the HE missile will be changed.
Two more versions of this HE missile with large and small brake rings have been added.
In total, we will have three versions of the HE missile. Unfortunately, it was not possible to implement the standard ring system like on mortar shells.
In total, the ballistics of all HE missiles will range from 1600m to 16800m

[fierce compass]

When spawning through GM or the Station, a discharged BM-21 will appear.
The time required to charge the rocket will be reduced.

[fierce compass]

It's just a question.
How would you look at the M142 HIMARS?
And the vanilla fire control system (like the BM-21 and mortars), not the M270(Using a computer).
Is this applicable to the M142, or does it require satellite navigation?

[lavish turtle]

Did u mean to post this in the space strider chat ?

[fierce compass]

No
here
There are plans (long-term) to add M142, so I decided to ask.

[lavish turtle]

Oh ok nice does that mean we might get a tornado S too

[fierce compass]

PTM-3
I will soon add the 9M28K missile for remote AT Mine laying.

[harsh orbit]

I saw in dark side of podval POM-2, may be part KPOM-2. Will be available like a part of your addon?

[fierce compass]

Only without threads, it's hard to implement them in reality. The main difficulty is that the mine in the zone doesn't always spawn in xyz, it often happens in xz as an example, so we've encountered situations where the threads were just sticking in the air.
Perhaps there will be a different solution.
For now, we'll keep this option.

And Yes, those are the mines you saw.

[fierce compass]

I took a not very good (visually, in my opinion) model M270
At SpaceStrider it is, of course, better.

But in principle, it is possible to make it for the US, if someone does not use the version of SpaceStrider.

It is already animated by the bones, in fact, here it is only to assemble it in procedural animation.

In the future, it is possible to change the model inside the cabin.

But I'm not sure if it's really necessary, or if it would be better to focus on the M142 Himars if I have the strength and desire to do so.

[opaque marlin]

I reckon this is better to focus on as it’s more time period correct

[pliant root]

Hi does your BM 21 still work im on Spear-Head got the right range but no impact is the range table still correct

[fierce compass]

I didn't understand you a bit 😄

[pliant root]

The BM-21 Grad is not hitting at range

is the book with the ranges still correct?

[fierce compass]

On which version of the game?

[pliant root]

the current live one 1.4.0.55

[fierce compass]

It's strange, they checked it out in front of me yesterday. The ballistic table is correct.
I haven't touched the 1.4 version since the summer.

I completely changed the ballistics in 1.6.

[pliant root]

ok

maybe it is the server with the mod

[fierce compass]

And if I didn't change the ballistics in 1.4, you might have an edited ballistics on your rocket in some mod, and you might not have updated the ballistics table or replaced it with your own.

[fierce compass]

Well, yes, it's more likely

[fierce compass]

I'm sorry that the interface is not in English (it's easier for me to debug)
But the point is this
1 Column
(calculates the coordinates of the world, the angles of the gun in AZ and EL)
Column 2
To enter the target coordinates, use the Calculate button
Column 3
The data obtained during the calculation, the choice of a projectile with embedded ballistics data.

The point the turret at the received data button and the close window button.

This is the Core
It is planned to implement a PIP Monitor, similar to RHS.

Most importantly, this is all for the M142 HIMARS computer (it will be basic, but I think it will be a little interesting).
The turret will still have manual control, if someone is not interested in the computer.

All I have to do is get the M142 model.

[opaque marlin]

Seems like pretty good i swear most m142 models are pirated

[fierce compass]

Well, as far as I know, BI doesn't recommend buying models on sketchfab,
but Fab and CGTrader seem trustworthy.
I've already found a model I like.

[small acorn]

You will also ask a question for the mlrs270.

[fierce compass]

I decided to score on the M270.
It's already in the Workshop

[fierce compass]

Jesus, give me the strength and time to fit her in and do the inside work.

[slate vortex]

My pacific war fantasy will soon come will we be able to target everything from the computer inside

[fierce compass]

I hope I will make it before 2026 ))

[slate vortex]

Dude take your time but if you ever make anything Chinese related ping me

[fierce compass]

Here they are, my Little Ones.

[burnt ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/the-its-happening-office-hyprr-gif-23189713

[gaunt sluice]

Is the first version in the workshop?

[fierce compass]

If my version is not.
If the very first one who came up, then it is removed from the workshop. it has not been updated for a long time.

[fierce compass]

MRLS

[dull prairie]

*MLRS

[fierce compass]

Sry)

MLRS

[opaque marlin]

Ahahah

[slate vortex]

How’s the progress

[peak quarry]

I hated the people that camped with this mf in battlefield 4

[fierce compass]

So far I have made colliders and empty points for the rocket pack (loading unit)😄

[fierce compass]

Oh, I liked him so much, but I never understood why he was needed on the abandoned factory map. It was too small for him compared to the others.

[slate vortex]

It was on other maps to I loved using this in battlefield

[next oriole]

Krasivo-Horosho-Good 🔥

[pulsar pendant]

oxyenno-good🔥

[fierce compass]

So far I have finished the turret(bones, colliders)
Package of rockets (colliders)
Headlights(running lights)Collides
Wheels(colliders)

Tomorrow I will start either

1. Interior of the cabin
2. External bones(without the cabin)
3. Colliders
4. Correct the textures

So far I am leaning towards the Interior or external bones

For bones, you need a good reference, Vanilla trucks have a lot of bones, but probably the current Prefabs use 20-30% of the bones.
If anyone has an idea for a good truck reference (mod) without a huge amount of unused bones, I would appreciate a hint.

[slate vortex]

Is it gonna be a computer to target things since it’s not dummy and see where we hit our targets

[viral lark]

Suggestion: too much smoke causes too much lag

[fierce compass]

This will be a computer
You will enter the Target Coordinates (you will need to use a ruler and a map to do this)
Select the projectile, then calculate it using the internal calculator (automatically), and click on aim
The turret will automatically set the correct angles, and the display will show the current coordinates of the vehicle and the gun angles

I already have a computer ready (there is a video above, but the interface is in Russian, but I think you can understand the mechanics logically), all that remains is to do it in PIP like RHS and have a beautiful PC

I plan to use this reference as in the photo

[fierce compass]

Which version of the game?
We changed the Particals of Smoke Shells in 1.6 Exp today

[viral lark]

It's just a comment, lol

[fierce compass]

[viral lark]

Spacestrider has an MLRS where the smoke causes a lot of lag

[fierce compass]

As far as I remember, there was a problem with the Cassette missiles

[lavish turtle]

I think when you get done with it u should make a short YouTube vid on how to use it especially for the putting in the coordinates in the computer part/using the ruler part.

[crisp thunder]

can AI use this?

[slate vortex]

Pls

[opal jewel]

Have you released this?

[small acorn]

A question, have you seen the damage from nine gas that they put into experimental? Do you think it would be possible to make ammunition that would have that gas affect you?

[fierce compass]

Only for testing, in closed mode.
It doesn't work very well on the server, and everything jumps and jerks (from the driver's perspective)
From the observer's perspective, everything is fine except for the incorrect coupling points.

In short, it's a very rough version

[fierce compass]

Bacon has already made gas zones in one of his mods.
I think it wouldn't be difficult to do the same for .

[fierce compass]

Still not, as the AI is limited by the game engine, this is not artillery(Mortar) in the usual sense of game mechanics that can be controlled by the AI.

This is a standard weapon that is limited to about 500m of fire control from any vehicle.
And they don't even know how to control the AI from rocket pods.

[crisp thunder]

Yeah I figured as much. It would be really cool if the AI could use it as a mortar, using the AI to control mortar pits is probably one of the most satisfying things to do

[crisp thunder]

It’s insane how much regression the AI system has compared to A3

[fierce compass]

I haven't decided yet. I'm leaning towards adding it.

On the other hand, why should I remove the opportunity for players to learn about the transportation system, try it out, fail, and try again? This way, they can develop their skills.
You could say they're progressing in this direction.

The calculator and auto-guidance will already perform 70% of the actions for the player.

All the player needs to do is use the ruler and map in the game.

It's probably better to leave it up to the players to explore, and let it be a fun time-pass.

[fierce compass]

Unfortunately, I haven't played Arma 3, but I have played Arma 2 on DayZ in its early stages.

However, everyone praises the AI in Arma 3.

Perhaps the issue will be resolved when BI releases its gun-based vehicles (which can be used as artillery, as modern tanks sometimes do) and removes the range limit or increases it for this type of vehicle.

• also, to add the ability to control Helicopters, please note that there is a Helicopter bundle here+Rocket Pod. Then we can get the AI to shoot from such things.

[lavish turtle]

I think they’ll add artillery with AI being able to use it at some point. they have a “artillery” command in the command options and it’s not for telling the AI to fire mortars the unfortunate thing is tho it will probably take a very long time for them to implement/release it

[inland galleon]

The AI can control the pods but you would need a script, so I figure it wouldn't be hard for them to use the artillery

[fierce compass]

Oh well, I'd better wait for BI to implement it)

There's just too much to add

[crisp thunder]

fair enough lol

[fierce compass]

I think this is enough for the game, I won't go into deep details.

So I don't think anyone will criticize me 😄

All that's left is to hide the door gaps, and the interior is ready.

Now comes the most difficult part, the texturing, which I don't know how to do at all

[lusty horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/theboys-perfect-gif-23821319

[inland galleon]

When are you planning on release this looks great so far

[fierce compass]

I plan to release it by the end of 2025

[inland galleon]

Nice can't wait, good job do far

[fierce compass]

😄

[fierce compass]

Stupidly uploaded unpacked textures, I used to throw a picture of M142

Now packed, looks great of course

[lusty horizon]

He will only shoot a dunk rockets or will integrate with wcs_armaments and launch some precision rockets ?

[fierce compass]

At the moment, only uncontrolled ones.
I don't plan to link them with wcs_armaments.

I have some ideas for a laser code, and if I decide to integrate it, I will also create controlled ones.

If not, anyone who needs it can link it with wcs_armaments and attach the desired system.

[slate vortex]

Pls get me some precise control rockets that’s what she shoots

[fierce compass]

Well, a friend revived Laser Code in 1.6.
so maybe one day

[lusty horizon]

Cool, you already did the most dificulty the model and config...

Nice work dude

[fierce compass]

Not quite, I just need to paint the inside.🥲

[lusty horizon]

You did all the model from scratch ?

[fierce compass]

No, I bought the model
I made the interior with 0

[lusty horizon]

Ohh cool

[fierce compass]

Updated to 1.6

[fierce compass]

Check the shooting on the server over 5 km range, so that another player can catch the missiles, and so that the player is not in GM.

• On the server, when spawning hail, the Projectile missile sounds are working, even when the hail is not yet shooting and has only been spawned from GM.

This may be a specific server issue, but I would appreciate your feedback.

[fierce compass]

Well, we're back when Rockets don't show up and effects over 5 km don't work.
I don't recommend using the Mod until BI is fixed.

Alternatively, you can only charge Small Ring Rockets (up to 5 km)

[digital trout]

Hello guys WCS_Armaments is working for 1.6 version?

[fierce compass]

🤷‍♂️

[burnt ravine]

If it’s not updated then no

[frigid drift]

It was updated today so should be good now

[molten verge]

Народ жалуется что прилетов нет. Если Град стоит дальше рендера сети, хотя до обновы с этим было все нормально.

[fierce compass]

#1336520461399363635 message

[fierce compass]

The rocket developers broke it

Waiting for the patch

[fierce compass]

also another mini-mod on the 2B9(still in progress) Thanks to the owner of this model from A3
The video shows more work on procedural animation of various details.
Plans:
animation of shaking after shots(like vanilla mortars)
Also in plans animation of charging the cassette
Replace some of the textures of the Cassette
Paint the wheels normally(currently installed other wheels :D)
Sighting grids
Try to implement separate aiming.
An animated transition cycle between the marching and combat positions.
One day, implement a towable system that works well on servers (it works perfectly in single-player games)

[crisp thunder]

Where does this TOW mod come from?

It’s been in reforger for a while but you’ve never been able to reload the tows except for the Bradley tows

[fierce compass]

This is a standalone mod.
It is not related to WCS systems or other technologies.

[crisp thunder]

Ik I was just curious were the TOW mod comes from lol

[fierce compass]

and as for Bradley, as far as I remember, they had TOW reloads available even in 1.3-1.4

[crisp thunder]

Yeah, the peaceable tow can’t be reloaded

[fierce compass]

🙁

[shadow coyote]

And where does the cornet fit in?

[fierce compass]

?

[shadow coyote]

I found it. Is it possible to reload it in the game or is it only possible to re-swap it at this stage?

[fierce compass]

Reload only from the arsenal or simply spawn a new ATGM through GM

[shadow coyote]

Is there some specific projectile or how?

[fierce compass]

There are tandem and Thermobaric
in GM they are highlighted with icons(not quite correct)
In the arsenal, there is a visual description and icons for rockets

[molten verge]

А вот это вот, это что?

[fierce compass]

?

[molten verge]

Ну ящик который стоит рядом с птуром

[fierce compass]

There are no plans for it in the near future.

[tiny shuttle]

We don't speak no squiggly lines here.

[molten verge]

I'll keep you updated, as Гантеля is Russian-speaking, and it's easier for me to communicate with him in Russian.

[slate vortex]

😂😂

[stone fossil]

then please do that in pm, the server is english language only.

[fierce compass]

🤡

[fierce compass]

I can't just find where the suspension is adjusted.
and then the wheels don't touch the ground (no collision), but it's as if they're invisible and spinning.🤡

[fierce compass]

Well, the barrel art is ready and it's being towed, all that's left is to sync it on the server

[stone fossil]

that might just be the coolest thing ive seen until now. if we can expect the same animation quality as in the atgm mod, this will be a gem on the workshop

[fierce compass]

The only animation is the current for the shooter :

[ancient gazelle]

What's it look like when you back up?

[fierce compass]

That video has this

[deep owl]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-hockey-kid-yeah-gif-19976923

[azure otter]

the great filter of all towing mods is making them work on dedicated server - looks great!

[fierce compass]

All I have to do is sync them in multiplayer so that the towed part is synchronized with the tugboat in terms of speed and replication. 🥲

[hot gazelle]

Progress?

[fierce compass]

We are waiting for the fixed rockets from BI

And I still haven't found someone to paint Himars inside

[deep owl]

What about that tow system and arty piece from your videos?

[hot gazelle]

Couldn't you borrow the LMTV space is dropping and slap himars model on it?

[fierce compass]

I handed it over to a friend, he will try to finalize it for correct operation on the servers.

[devout zephyr]

Fixed rockets?

[devout zephyr]

The M1083 only supports artillery like a howitzer

[fierce compass]

Replication does not work beyond 5 km. Players die without knowing what if they are further than 5 km away.

[devout zephyr]

Nice Welp time for me to cry in M270 as I go and fix that. Didn’t know that was an issue.

[fierce compass]

This fix is in the works, so I think it will be fixed by the end of 2025.

We also found out by chance when new types of missiles were being tested.

[fierce compass]

I have 2 options so that I don't have to redo all the textures inside.The LMTV is just one of these options, but with a redesign of the body and interior.

But it doesn't depend on me anymore, but on the team.

[lavish gale]

um bi is slav is it not

[lavish gale]

i cant wait for this : )

[stone fossil]

does that mean anything though? bi is czech, not russian, and the rules of this server clearly state that it is english language only, unless specified otherwise

[opaque marlin]

Why are you in here leave to the admins if they want to enforce they will otherwise don’t but in

[burnt ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/good-soldiers-follow-orders-crosshair-commander-cody-star-wars-the-bad-batch-follow-the-orders-gif-17152734207971205590

[lavish gale]

because its a dumb rule and its only there to get people to be more clear and understanding when explaining issues rather then relying on google translate but calling someone names making fun of someone for speaking a different language is low key dumb asf btw czech is slav

[burnt ravine]

and english is germanic... so?

[stone fossil]

i just want to be able to understand the questions as well, so i can maybe answer them if i know anything. but if its in russian or any other language apart from english, i cannot. as you said, i cannot enforce anything, so i asked nicely.

[stone fossil]

also, the fact that czech is slav has nothing to do with russian language or cyrillic writing or the fact that the server rules are what they are. Sorry for the disturbance of the thread, i will stop discussing the matter from my side.

[coarse wasp]

Zbs🔥
I wish US MLRS had the same launching system to have them both and balanced

[fierce compass]

Our team is already preparing the M142 Himars
with the Guidance Computer.
It takes time)

[coarse wasp]

I mean the cold war version

[fierce compass]

Then it's only the M270 from SpaceStryder that I can recommend.
We're unlikely to make our own version of the M270

[coarse wasp]

M270 and BM-21 have different systems, so it's harder to balance them

[ashen oasis]

Is the BM 21 still in the workshop?

[fierce compass]

Why wouldn't he be there?)

[molten verge]

Did BM-21 have cluster anti-tank mines?
They work kind of like magnets, it's even worth driving nearby.

[fierce compass]

Yes, you're right.
they were
I only have them without textures (I've disabled them, you can see them in the tools), and they're not made like magnets, but they just have an expanded area for triggering when they collide.
I'll make them later, after they're painted.

[fierce compass]

All missiles are displayed correctly again over a 5 km range.Thanks to the guys from BI for the fix. Have a nice game!

[dull prairie]

So now we can fire at targets more than 5km away?

[fierce compass]

Yep

[chilly furnace]

@fierce compass any idea to make a version for US? so both factions can use it? (wanna add it to my server but seems unbalanced)

[fierce compass]

We have M142 Himars in our plans
We are currently working on the model and texture
That's all I can say
With a computer and auto-aim

[hot gazelle]

In future could we get howitzers?

[fierce compass]

Only after the correct operation of the towing on the servers.
At the moment, it does not work correctly and most likely requires the API to be improved by BI or to sit and think about the problem.

[hot gazelle]

Will they be cold war howitzers or modern?

[fierce compass]

Well, I would like to make 2B9,D-30,M119.And I can't promise whether they'll get their hands on it.

[hot gazelle]

Would be nice to see but take your time man

[fierce compass]

HI
Maybe you meant ATGM?
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D550926D43F1409-TacticalFlava

The mod is above.
We collected them there.

[fierce compass]

Add Missile AT Mine

[fierce compass]

The towing didn't work
Work on 2B9 has been suspended for now

[hot gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/tense-table-smash-mad-gif-13656077

[hazy ice]

i guess the M270 MLRS is just a prop, it fires but they never land

[fierce compass]

What was wrong was that they didn't give her a proper aiming system. My opinion

[molten verge]

What about the mobile version in the back of the Urals?

[fierce compass]

⚠️ An important statement!🔥
The planned integration of BM-21 into the Tactical Flava mod is taking place
After a certain amount of time, BM-21 will be fully integrated into TF

For those familiar with the Laser Code test mod, integration with TF will also occur there

I will leave the branch for now, as there will be a connection between the mods

No, the BM-21 and M142 Himars (when ready) will be in the TF

[slate vortex]

Fuck why 😭they be forgetting their mod sometimes

[fierce compass]

Who are they?

if you're talking about TF, then not anymore.
They've taken me on board.
We've already increased the frequency of mod updates.
We've started actively fixing issues.
We've added our own versions of ATGM, which are much better (due to the vanilla mechanics) than what's currently available in AR.
We're also working on Laser Code in parallel.
These guys have created a lot of high-quality assets, both externally and internally (the machines), compared to the 80-90% of existing assets in the Workshop.
