Random AAA firings

[BaD CrC]

Hi guys,

 

I just would like to do this in DCS:

 

 

You know, AAA firing randomly in the night sky when air raid alert triggers. I think that would add tremendously to the overall night combat atmosphere.

I was thinking of invincible drones flying high but how to make ground units engage only one given air unit? Triggered action 'firing at coordinates' works only in 2D and Zu23 don't see anything at night. I could use Shilkas instead with their radar, but they will most likely engage me than the HALE drone. And I just want the tracers in the sky, not getting shot by them.

Suggestions? Thanks.

If you wanted to do this at night, the "joke" mentioned earlier really isn't a joke. (night because then you wont see the A.I. units being shot at)

 

Just set up a few A.I. helo's to orbit the area, or fly a repeating pattern around a city, and set them to immortal. Also set them so that they have no reaction to enemies. Then have a few AAA units in the city target different helos individually. Be sure to place either an M818 or Ural-375 next to the AAA units, to replenish their ammo

I was not kidding at all!!! Also the flak scriptnis awesome, there is an option for enviroment flak

[BaD CrC]

Thanks guys. Where is this flak script you are mentioning ESAc_matador?

[C6_Hellfrog]

I think it refers to the scripts listed in the down part of this page http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/Simulator_Scripting_Engine_Documentation

 

and maybe have a look here if good knowledge about lua

For the pic in the OP, I did feature request this a while back, no idea if/when something would be changed that AAA could fire at an elevated point instead of needing an actual target.

+1!

i think you could theoretically add your own custom aircraft which would simply have empty 3D model (so its invisible) with tiny size definition (so shells are sure to miss), set it to invincible and have it circle around.

 

 

good luck :pilotfly:
