Drongos Artillery

Description
Drongo's Artillery (DRA) adds semi-realistic artillery, virtual artillery, cruise missiles, suicide drones/loitering munitions, grenade-dropping drones, orbital beam and railgun strikes, C-RAM, Counter Battery radar, Electronic Warfare and satellites to Arma 3. It is based on CoC Unified Artillery for OFP. It puts AI-controlled batteries, virtual batteries and orbital strikes under player control. A degree of skill is both required and rewarded by the system. Users can control sheaf type, sheaf size, round type, angle, fuze, etc. Multiple ammunition types can be used in a single barrage (eg. HE with smoke).

Check my workshop for my Command Enhancement which allows giving groups orders in the map or in a Zeus-like mod. Another alternative is ZEUS WARGAME [RTS mod] by Jacktheviper.

Drongo do you have a mod where you can also control AI Units on ground? kinda similiar to Drongos Air Operations, but where you can make the units do things, basically infantry and ground vehicles,

thanks for the info. I´ll try this next time :)

For islamds with that issue, click on Tablet F5 to activate a dynamic grid with correct engine coordinates. Tablet F6 changes the colour of the overlay.
Georg Ravioli 20 Jun @ 5:09pm 
There's something wrong with the grids it seems, maybe it's due to the way certain maps plot grids. Not all of them have the origin (0,0) at the bottom left like they should. On these maps, the difference between the grid your interface pulls and the actual grid on the map is pretty huge.

pook arty dont work well again with this mod. Specially caesars, also the project RACS artillery units dont work well with this mod. Just saying.

can you add the airburst fuze to the HIMARS HE rockets? (M31, MGM-168)
Mortibus Ostium (Sparky) 22 Apr @ 3:46pm 
Oh thats awesome, going to try that with the AK-630 mod now. Thanks!
Drongo  [author] 22 Apr @ 2:03pm 
I can't model unfortunately. However, any AD that is synced to an artillery radar will attempt to shoot down incoming shells.
Mortibus Ostium (Sparky) 22 Apr @ 7:21am 
Hey Drongo, our unit loves your mod and all its fantastic uses! We were just curious if you could add it in a separate mod or something, but compatibility for the AK-630 mod would be awesome. Its the Eastern Equivalent to the CIWS and would be great for Eastern countries for counter-battery.
