New Infantry and Mortars (v 1.02)
« on: October 08, 2010, 03:35:54 AM »



Checkyersix's Infantry + Mortar Mod v 1.02

This mod will add three new types of stationary artillery:

Mortar Team - a three man mortar team that will fire on targets up to 4000m away. They use invisible, smokeless rockets, so they have an arcing trajectory like a real mortar. They should be placed like an anti-tank gun, facing the target.

Dug In Infantry - A single infantryman up to his waist in the earth. Great for placing in trenches, foxholes, etc. Will rotate to face threats.

Prone Infantry - An Infantry Squad lying on their bellies. Will rotate to face threats.

Use them to create more realistic infantry battles. They look especially good at night, with all the muzzles flashing in the dark. They will not burn or explode when killed, but will simply disappear (they've been evacuated ;) ). Mortar crews will leave their mortars behind.

Update:

v 1.02

- Prone Infantry are now bunched into groups of five, to make them easier to see and hit. Their hitbox is much larger now as well.
- Mortar round now has reduced power.

v 1.01

- Increased hit box on prone infantry, as dug in infantry was shooting over their heads. Also lowered gun hook on dug in infantry so they shoot from closer to the ground. Dug In infantry should now be superior to prone infantry.

Installation instructions in the readme.

Thanks to:

Have fun!

Hey Guys,

              This is a very interesting development. I'd just like to interject (given that the current in-game mortars seem to represent the family of what was classified as "Medium" mortars, that was in the range of 80 mm
(actually 76(3") to 82mm) that the range for the medium mortars is too long. I decided to comment when I saw the range of the mortars in the mod as 4000m.
This was beyond the range of this family of (the most common calibre) mortars.
British Stokes 3" Trench Mortar   2,560m
German Granat Werfer 34 81mm  2,400m
US M1 81mm Mortar                  3,290 yds (about 3,000m)
Russian BM41/43 82mm              3,100m
Japanese Type 99 81mm Mortar   3,280m (7 1/2 lb bomb)
                                             1,312m (14.3 lb bomb)

Just my 10 cents worth - I like most accuracy possible (realizing that everything is not always possible).

Best of luck with this.

you can change the range in the technics.ini if you like. Can't remember where I got the 4000m range, I think from a Korean war source...

Thanks for these.

Great companion to your open trenches mod.

I find that the trench soldiers can hold off Ultra Pack infantry quite well.
