Hello Again, all!
Here's my latest submision;
It was a bit over the 50kb limit (56kb
), so I submitted it on the editors depot's pending page. You can download it there!
Well, you might ask, what the heck does it do exactly?
The script uses some fancy coding to create a "modified" CH-47D with the ability to act as a gunship similar to the AC-130 Spooky/Spectre gunship. The forementioned helo will orbit a strike area and rain death upon the enemy with three independently targeted and fired weapons. The ACH-47D gunship sports a 7.62mm minigun, a 40mm AGL, and a 90mm cannon. Like the AC-130, the weapons fire from the left side of the gunship as the pilot makes pylon turn around the target area.
BTW this is a fictitious unit, but a logical adaptation of current technology and entirely possible. In my "OFP universe", the Army has decided that it needs a "Spooky" asset of it's own (as the AC-130 is an Air force asset), and has retrofitted the Chinook with a scaled weapons load.
The script was inspired by real world gun camera footage of an AC-130 conducting an attack on some Afghani terrorist scum.
Let me know what you think, and offer any suggestions...oh, and the sniper/spotter script cometh soon... really, really soon;)
