Grenades In Tank Hatches for ACE
This mod is a lightweight ace extension that allows players to throw grenades into tracked armoured vehicles using the ace interaction menu. Its implementation is focused on staying in line with other ace features as well as insuring compatibility with as many mods as possible.
In order to drop a grenade in, the crew of the vehicle must not be on the same side as the player, and must not know about the player. Basic procedure to achieve this is to sneak up to an enemy tank and access its ace interaction. If the tank has seen the player in the last 120 seconds it will be impossible to drop a grenade in as the crew is on high alert. Enhanced movement or a substitute is recommended if the player wishes to physically climb on top of the vehicle.
This mod is by default compatible with all vanilla tanks and tracked apc’s and any mods who derive classnames from them (meaning most mainstream mods). It has been tested with rhs, cup and IFA but should work for a multitude of others.
For grenades as of update 1.2 the vanilla m67 and v40 mini are used by default, in order to use other grenades, navigate to the cba settings for this mod and add the classname of the desired grenade (e.g. "rhs_mag_f1") to the list of grenade classnames in the format <classname1,classname2,classname3>. If done correctly this allows compatibility with any grenades from any mod desired. This list can also be edited to allow only a single grenade, or set of grenades from a select faction.
Care has been taken to balance this mod, however it is yet untested in large scale multiplayer and may go through changes following this.
The mod is not necessarily recommended for heavy milsim groups, while balanced and in line with much of ace, it is neither heavily simulated or particularly realistic.
- Avoid defining more than one type of grenade. (As of update 1.2 multiple grenades can now be defined)
- This mod is not balanced or necessarily compatible with pvp, it is advised to not use this mod in a pvp setting.
This mod is ultimately very silly and based mostly on WW2 movies. Have fun with it.
