Realistic Artillery Loadouts mod (RAL)

Realistic Artillery Loadouts Mod-

What does this mod do?

The RAL (Realistic Artillery loadouts) mod adds a more authentic artillery loadout to each FC:CW standalone scenarios artillery units. Roughly 60% of an American 155mm equipped firing batteries on-hand ammunition will now be dual purpose ICM instead of only HE, and will also contain enough smoke ammunition for at least 1 hex before having to reload (18 ICM, 5 smoke, 13 HE). The more rare 105mm and 203mm equipped units will also get a similar change and will be mentioned in the notes when applicable. Non-American NATO artillery will receive smoke ammunition, and in some cases tube fired ICM (Canadian). German rocket artillery will receive scatterable mines in some scenarios. This will make artillery units a lot more flexible, and improve the decision making process


Note- This mod is not intended to replace the scenarios it is editing, they all play well without it, this is just a new way to experience them. None of the scenario files included will overwrite the originals

This isn't intended to be a balance mod, only one that better reflects the realistic capabilities of artillery in this era

Campaign scenarios are NOT INCLUDED in this mod, I didn't want to mess with the balancing or replenishment of the campaigns as I'm not very familiar with them

If a scenario already gave a 155mm equipped unit ICM, Illum and smoke I didn't change the units loadout and it will not be listed below



Installation:
Install scenarios in main FCCW directory: Flashpoint campaigns/Modules/FCCW/Scenarios

They will show up along with the default versions of themselves in the standalone scenario menu

This is top work! Great effort.

[Jarosak]

Good Job!

Unfortunately ICM ammunition is bugged right now, I recommend you either switch to the normal versions of the scenarios or wait for a patch. Ill update the mod once its fixed

[WildCatNL]

Unfortunately ICM ammunition is bugged right now,

ICM ammunition as part of this patch? Or ICM in the game - I'm not aware of problems with ICM in the game.

[Hub6Actual]

Seems to be working as intended, from what I can see.

[Raptorx7_slith]

Sorry guys, I was mistaken in thinking that the ICM itself wasn't working due to it being a placeholder. It will work fine in the scenarios I included it in!

There was more to it; the game was reporting the wrong details for the gun's ICM ammo (reporting 300 submunitions instead of, for example, 80 submunitions for the 155mm shells). That's fixed internally, and will be part of the update after the holidays.
