Drongos Artillery

Drongo's Artillery (DRA) adds semi-realistic artillery, virtual artillery, cruise missiles, suicide drones/loitering munitions, grenade-dropping drones, orbital beam and railgun strikes, C-RAM, Counter Battery radar, Electronic Warfare and satellites to Arma 3. It is based on CoC Unified Artillery for OFP. It puts AI-controlled batteries, virtual batteries and orbital strikes under player control. A degree of skill is both required and rewarded by the system. Users can control sheaf type, sheaf size, round type, angle, fuze, etc. Multiple ammunition types can be used in a single barrage (eg. HE with smoke).
