Somewhere there's a script in Beta version out ther,
that uses Bullets to create a Claymore mine (or similar
devices, see www.mapfact.net (http://www.mapfact.net) for add.
information).
This looks simply cool, why not use the same technique
to create an artillery, which bursts a few meters off the
ground sending shrapel down on the soldiers (simulated
by those trace-bullets)
I would do it myself, but I have little to do with OFP
nowadays, and neither got the time

Indeed, this is one of the things I've been planning on doing one of these days: proper ICM. It's not that hard to do -- what's hard, as KriegerDaemon is finding, is getting it to work consistently and with minimal cpu impact. When we built our claymores for CoC_Mines (which use the same principle that KD is using), the biggest time-consumer wasn't scripting the effect, but making it work reasonably smoothly.
With ICM, the problem is multiplied, since we're talking about far more projectiles, a bigger lethal effect, and salvos of 4 at a time.
Actually, I put my comments in a thread in one of the scripting forums here.

Well, if the Visual effect aren't the problem, why not, kill every Men on the ground and just let the visuals play... :)
