Projectile following like War thunder

[thick carbon]

For me the most boring part for using arty is that you don't see anything fun. So made this that allows you to follow the projectile.
This can also be attached to any other projectile too. Works for US and USSR, HE mortar shell.

Looks great! Can imagine this in a PvP artillery duel

Showcase working on rpg too for fun

The mod we didn't know we needed.

@thick carbon how well does this replicate in MP

[thick carbon]

Not gotten a lot of testing done on mp. Earlier today i did setup a local server and tried it with a friend and it worked fine

You should add screen fading to the visual on the rocket

Would make the transition nicer. You could also tinker and see how you could create a motion blur or effect around the screen to show some cool motion during the movement too.

(Just QoL ideas)

Will consider it 😉 But i have a server up an running if you want to see "steffentest" password "123"

I could check it out.

Already have a bug where sometimes at randome the camerea will go under the map when the projectile hits. So will look into that

I wonder, in order to keep things sort of balanced if there’s any way to hide players and AI from the view, so you can see where you’re landing, but not gaining information that shouldn’t be available to you. I can definitely see people using this to just see where people are lol.

[restive dawn]

No. Keep players, ai, etc.
I see this more for pve and/or lower pop servers where you can't always have a Forward observer.
So it'd be nice to see everything.

Plus, if you have supplies on, you won't be able to just randomly shoot them to just see positions or you'll be out of supplies quick.

And. If you're just after trying to see where enemies are, it's far easier, quicker, and effective to just sneak someone into a bush or something to watch players in a pvp scenerio with how long for each shot and how many supplies it'd take each shot to "reliable" spot locations with the camera.

In a regular PvP, how I would use this is:
2-4 ranging shots to monitor the arc and impaxt zone. Then I would turn it off and send out up to a dozen rounds.
Rinse and repeat to keep sending accurate fire. Getting a forward spotter and using the mortar effectively is all a pain

I cont see how this could really be abused in PvP aside from the fact that you could scout for un/populated bases

Hey, as an idea, could this maybe be used for a kind of HuntIR for Arma 3? I'm currently thinking about how something like that could be implemented, or rather, what the best way to do it would be.https://youtu.be/bzsxKB2jhNQ&t=18
