#Update coming:

 

M261 launcher is made and tested, currently working on a rail launched Shturm missile system(ATGM used by mi24 and mi28 ), the rail is taken from the Hellfire missile. Will use the rail to implement maluka, or even hot missile in the future , check original post for download link

So I picked up the Gazelle during the summer sale and instantly got addicted to it, every bit of it feels like airbus beating me with a stick and somehow I love it . What I do not like however is the severely lacking firepower. Talk about the frustration when you have to waste your last HOT missile for a truck.

 

Now there are existing mods out there that allows you to use Mavs and Hellfires etc, but after extended use of those mods i found the accuracy to be very random, and being honest having 8 hellfires on a gazelle is a bit cheaty.

 

I remember this DAGR (Direct Attack Guided Rocket)project I read somewhere a while ago and thought I could implement it to the gazelle. And after a few days digging into .luas I was able to come up with a working DAGR rocket. The Mod is Semi-standalone, it functions by replacing some existing game files, while all the vanilla weapons remains untouched.

Features of this MOD:

 

#Enables gazelle the ability to launch DAGR rockets with accuracy of up to 1 meter dispersion within 5KM range.

 

#Attempts were made to recreate the flight performance of a standard FFAR rocket. The rocket motor ignites at launch and burns for about 2 seconds before it dies out, then inertia takes over and the rocket glides towards the target at +-1000kmh.

 

#You can fire it at close range targets from high alts, which is a known problem with the current hellfire mod.

 

#Beyond 4.3KM the missile goes into Gyro mode and flies in the rough direction it last followed, but will slowly destabilize into a climb/dive pattern, which gives it about 6Km absolute range but with worse accuracy.

 

#Both HEAT and HE versions of the hydra rockets are available, launched from Lau131 rocket pod mounted on the Hot Pylon. The warheads are standard Hydra warheads with roughtly 4kg high explosive or HEAT.

 

#Reduced weapon system weight to better fit the poor gazelle.

 

#Now you can kill 7 trucks with a pylon instead of just 1

 

#Possible follow up mods for M261 Launcher(19 rockets), might also make a soviet S13 guided rocket in the future.

Thank you!

 

Being a fan of the Gazelle, this is welcomed.

Will it work with 1.5.6 as well? I've yet to update as I want to keep my FPS.

It might work, I dont think they added any new weapons during 1.57 update, you should try it out
