A-10-tastic - Firewill - A-10 & GAU-8 Sound Overhaul

Description
Repacking, alternating or reuploading of this mod or any of it's addons is prohibited!

This mod brings a complete sound overhaul to the airplane as also some tweaks to the GAU-8 for all Firewill A-10 models.

Featuring dynamic and high quality sounds for:
- Internal (cockpit) view
- External (3rd person) view
- GAU-8 shooting (internal and external view)

Changes to the GAU-8 for a more realistic approach:
- No tracers for the 30 mm ammunition (as the real thing doesn't use tracers either)
- Magazine size set to the typical combat load of 1150 rounds
- GAU-8 limited to two fire modes: One or two second bursts
- GAU-8 is now on weapons group 1 and not on 4 with all the bombs and the targeting laser
- Increased firing rate for the GAU-8 to better match reality: Resulting in a total amount of about 9 long or 18 short bursts available before all ammo is spent (this potentially makes gun runs far more devastating but they should also be used more wisely as the magazine will be emptied a lot quicker)

Server key is included.
I recommend to install the mod on the server and all clients as it's not only changing the sounds of the A-10 but some of the weapon, magazine and ammunition properties related to the GAU-8 as well. It seems to work without errors when only installed client side though.

Note: This mod is not under active development anymore. Any game breaking bugs will be fixed. Other than that, don't expect any updates for this mod in the foreseeable future.

@Copperfield [SAC] You might want to check out DynaSound 2 in combination with my mod. Makes the impact sound similar to what you're looking for. :)

Love your mod man, can you by any chance make another overhaul sound for when 30mm hits the ground like in this video at 0:15?

Hi @djbullz223, sorry for the late reply. I think it’s good the way it is. The gun sounds different in every video you can find on Youtube because of the different cameras being used, different surroundings etc. The sound of my mod should be somewhere in the median of them. In the end, Arma‘s engine will change the pitch anways, depending on your distance to the plane, it’s heading and the environment.

@Pvt.Miller Could you be a little more specific? It works just fine on my end.
Did you also load my mod core? It‘s not going to work without it. It‘s also not compatible with Mighty GAU.

Nothing changed on firewill

@Ben I haven't increased the damage or area of effect values for Firewill, because I felt like the GAU-8 of his A-10 is already strong enough. My mod increases the bullets per second/burst though which makes it more devastating too.
All my other A-10 mods bring tweaked damage and area of effect values, so they're at the level of Firewill.

Does this mod increases damage and area of effect similar to Mighty GAU-8?
