Drongos Drone Tweaks

Description
Small drones are harder for the AI to spot (though not impossible). AI automatically deploy recon, FPV and grenade drones. Supports vanilla, Drongo's Artillery, Reaction Forces RC-40s and some [SEAL TEAM] DarkBall drones. Lot's of CBA options and an options module.

There is a readme in the mod folder. This file covers drone behaviour in more detail.

Discord for my mods[discord.gg]

SUPPORTED MODS
  • Vanilla recon drones
  • Vanilla Demining drone (as a bomber)
  • Reaction Forces CDLC RC-40 and RC-40HE
  • Drongo's Artillery AR-2X suicide drones
  • Drongo's Artillery AR-2G grenade drop drones
  • FPV Drone Crocus (AP and AT) by [SEAL TEAM] DarkBall
  • Mavic 3 (will drop grenades) [SEAL TEAM] DarkBall
  • Mavic 3T (recon) [SEAL TEAM] DarkBall
  • Western Sahara IED UAV (bomber)
  • Western Sahara AP-5 (recon)
  • SPS BlackHornet PRS by Steve
  • Switchblade Loitering Munition by naPalm

FEATURES
  • Reduces visibility and audibility of small drones. AI can still spot them, but have a harder time doing so.
  • AD can detect drones and engage them.
  • If AI have a recon drone, they will automatically deploy it and receive information about any targets it detects.
  • If AI have suicide or grenade drones, they will automatically deploy them to attack known enemies.
  • If AI have RC-40 drones from Reaction Forces CDLC, they will automatically use them for recon and attack.
  • CBA settings allow for tweaking deployment conditions and drone behaviour.
  • Module for tweaking deployment conditions and drone behaviour.
  • Infoshare module for drone groups to receive targets from other groups.

KNOWN ISSUES
Sometimes FPV and grenade drones take very indirect paths to the target. I have no idea what causes this.

Just noticed debug is on by default, it is fixed now.

It can also be done by script:

ddtDebug=FALSE;publicVariable"ddtDebug";

А можно как то убрать эти оповещающие тексты ,?

I'll look at adding more drones in a future update. I also might add a module to re-enable the jammer backpacks that were in the RC.

Id love to see compatibiltiy with GX drones mod but at the same time im terrified of vainilla AI having access to the 40 mm GMG aerial drone
