Enhanced MAAWS for RHS

This mod is a comprehensive overhaul of the RHS M3 MAAWS, aimed at simulating the real-world MAAWS and its ammunition as accurately as possible. In addition to realistic function of the launcher and the rockets, my goal has also been to make the sights work properly, so that you can actually hit targets accurately. Many of the other MAAWS mods and even RHS itself have arbitrary muzzle velocity values for each type of ammo (and no range table to compensate for this), which means you just need to guess where to aim.

The real MAAWS manual (TC 3-22.84) was a major source in creating this mod. Without the excellent documentation provided in the manual, the mod would not have been possible.

There are descriptions in-game of all the new ammo types and their uses. Or just use a real world source like wikipedia or the real manual.

A CUP version is available here.


- Configurable airburst fuzes for rounds that have them IRL (HE and illumination). There is a small GUI through which the fuze range is set.

- Configurable impact and delay fuzes for rounds that have them IRL (HEDP and ASM). The delay fuzes work realistically and will cause a round to penetrate a wall and detonate behind it. In other words, the anti-building rounds/modes are not just rounds with massively boosted damage. Fuzes are selected either through ACE Interact (when loaded) or by double-clicking the round in your inventory (when unloaded).

- Adds four new rounds: ASM 509, MT 756, HEAT 551 and Illuminator 545C

- All rounds are set to have the same muzzle velocity, enabling you to actually use the sights. By default in RHS the sights are only usable with HEAT 751.

- Simple simulation of the MAAWS sight: You now have to configure the sight to the round you are firing. This is also how the real life MAAWS works. If the sight is set to the wrong round, you will most likely miss (technical note: the flight path of the rocket is modified by a script, if the wrong sight setting is used).

- Realistic ACE3 Fragmentation configs for all rounds, including the pre-existing RHS rounds which do not have any fragmentation configs by default

- Realistic mass for all the rocket types, the launcher itself and its optic

- The vanilla MAAWS is modified to resemble the M3E1/M4 MAAWS as closely as possible (the ammunition that I provide for the M3E1 is still balanced around RHS damage values and it has not been tested with vanilla AFVs).

- Custom 3D models and inventory icons for every ammo type

- Detailed descriptions for all the ammunition in-game


- Add an animation when you set the sight
- Add Smoke 469 (it turned out to be quite difficult to recreate its real world functionality in the game accurately)
- Add some sort of way to set the airburst range in inventory, rather than having to do it when you have loaded the round
- Support for other mods?!


- Due to setting all the muzzle velocities of the rockets the same, most of the rockets do not have realistic flight trajectories and maximum ranges. This was a necessary evil to make the sights usable.
- If you fire a rocket with the wrong sight setting, the flight path of the rocket will sometimes be a bit weird. Just make sure you set the sight correctly before firing :)


Prone Launcher

Since the ammunition in this mod is configured with realistic mass values, they can be a bit difficult to fit into some backpacks. Therefore, RAA's belt feature is highly recommended:
