Hang on, where's the fire control unit? these babies are meant to operate in groups of two with a supporting fire control unit

Can you please add 3 Rheinmetall Skyshield classnames, one for each texture? Like:
"GX_Skyshield_E" (default)
"GX_Skyshield_desert_E" (new)
"GX_Skyshield_green_E" (new)
"GX_Skyshield_grey_E" (new)

what of the other turret variants like the laser projector version?

I want to put this on a Toyota

@GanX Add a camouflage net

Can I use it with AMS system and add to it animated recoil of barell and make it as UAV unit not person turret? (this is automated system not manned so it should be like that), and why it have some problems with spawn in correct height on map (no land contact LOD or something?) if you are interested to improove it to make it possibile to do this https://youtu.be/qdSO5Czeh3U contact me

Any possibility for adding versions of it mounted on trucks/boxer?

can you make a version on the GTK Boxer?

kf51 when?

@ace can't you like group it with an opfor unit and remove the unit to make it opfor ?
that's what I do when I need civilians to not be civilians for warcrimes purposes

does it shoot down mortars though

@Ace you can use setSide script to prevent that

GanX, I do highly encourage you to make Opfor and Indep units of this.

Yes you can just put Opfor and Indep units in the Blufor turret, but you see, ArmA AI is incredibly stupid when it comes to IFF.

If they see an enemy vehicle, regardless of if it is crewed, there is a high possibility of friendly fire because if the AI are threatened by something, they will look for threats, see an "enemy" vehicle, and launch a missile at it without the AI knowing there's friendlies inside of it.

This problem is especially pronounced with aircraft. I have been shot down by my own SAMs on multiple occasions because I was piloting an enemy vehicle. The reverse is also true where friendly aircraft will shoot friendly vehicles on the ground, or infantry will shoot friendly vehicles on the ground, because they are enemy vehicles piloted by friendly units.

It's stupid, I know, but until Bohemia lets us change the faction of the actual empty vehicle, it's a problem that will remain.

Has it programmed HE ammo?

Now put it on a Boxxer please. :D

goofy ahh game oyk

We tried it. our garrison units don't get in empty turrets for some reason and placing it with crew will have blufor units in them. We want to be able to spawn it with independant crew (FIA, LDF, Syndikat, etc...) so we don't have to recruit our own AI to have them boarded. Then, when i leave the game, the turrets with their crew will remain active after i disconnected as Zeus. Having the "sides" option is also a way to have them working for independants or opfor.

@MilanMessina, I'm not sure i understand the problem. Aye it's a BLUFOR unit, but it's technically speaking just a vehicle.
1. Spawn the Skyshield in Eden or via Zeus
2. Remove the AI guy sitting in it
3. Put an AI from whatever faction you like into the Skyshield
4. Profit???

This mod is set on the Blufor side. Can a option be added to switch sides for this turret in Zeus? We would like to use this Skyshield as Airfield defense on the Independant side in Antistasi Plus.
And since it's Blufor, garrisoned units do not board this turret either in antistasi.

Interested in having a new texture for it? Message me.

Why is this tagged helicopter and plane

Good mod

kf51!

please add KF 51

Yes pls KF51

KF-51? YES PLEASE!

You've done it again GanX, I'm all out of clean pants.

This looks great but the best thing about this was when i saw you're looking into making a Kf-51 :D

will you ever make the kf51?

Yeah I did have ZE Loaded xD, but a good fix anyway!

I think that if you used something like Zeus Enhanced that might have been possible. But i did have a look with no mods loaded and he was correct that it couldn't be placed. In any case, it should work now regardless

Odd, it was spawnable for me for the BLUFOR faction via Zeus before the update.

@izzat.ibrahim.al.douri.1942

Thank you very much for pointing out this flaw. I was actually unaware, and its obviously meant to be spawnable in Zeus. I have released an update that should fix the problem. Steam can be a bit slow, so you can repair the mod and get the update right away.

is it possible to make it spawnable in zeus?

Rheinmetall Skyshield + MTLB composition when

@Fethergame: Pretty sure it is just a part of Arma 3. I had never seen it before either, until making that video on Liviona map (Contact DLC).

when are we going to see footage of this mod used as disinformation to accuse rheinmetall of war crimes?

What mod makes the grass bend, once the jet passed by?

can you integrate it with drongo's air defense system so that it can attack mortars and rockets too? Since these types of systems are primarily built for that purpose.

i live in texas and i will find a way to "acquire" this and put it on a toyota

Rheinmetall Skyshield + MTLB

Nice work!

But this system does not exist in this way
And it will never fit on a Hi-Lux Toyota (too heavy)

Some facts from the rheinmetall air defence wapon systems:
- SkyNex
- RG Mk3 (tracking radar) (approx 5.5 t)
- XTAR 3D search radar (approx 5 t)
- TLCN (Tactical Level Control Node) 20 ft shelter

- MANTIS CIWS
- Modified Millenium 35mm revolver gun with 1000 rpm (approx. 5.5 t) (optimized for C-RAM)
- sensor system with search and tracking radar
- BFZ (Bedien- und Feuerleitzentrale) 20 ft 3:1 shelter

- SkyShield:
- RG MK2 (no radar) 35mm revolver gun with 1000 rpm (approx. 5 t)
- sensor system with searach and tracking radar same as MANTIS (approx. 3.5 t)
- CN (Control Node) 10 ft shelter

There is also a series of systems called SkyGuard with 35mm twin guns

the radar range is too low

Perfect for the Toyota Hilux

327 moment

someone needs to put that on a Toyota pick up truck

impossible HOW

Awesome mod mate https://youtu.be/Qt74S7lAa6c

wow

Hey there. Like the mod but did you know that Redd'n'TankVehicles, i think it is, also had the Mantis implemented for some time including the radar unit? ... idk maybe worth for you checking out but I like your work.
