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
