ArtilleryReborn

This is a mod to improve artillery in-game by making drastic changes to field, medium and heavy artillery, aswell as AT guns and SPGs including TDs/Panzerjäger. The goal was always to make fire support more intuitive and interesting aswell as decisive. Secondary changes include better high tier infantry.

Standalone mod, I cannot guarantee compability. I tried using it with Conquest enhanced v2 and it worked on most maps.

This is a mod for Conquest and Singleplayer, it’s not balanced for skirmish, nor will it ever be balanced for PVP

Disclaimer

Right now the mod doesn’t work.
The issue is that even though I can change my own gamefiles and it works but as soon as I change the mod and apply the mod, it crashes. The game just wouldn’t allow changing ballistics for the guns

Features

Ballistical Changes

-Changes to rate of fire, accuracy, zeroing in, ammo loadouts, range and ballistics of guns and AFVs
-Better gun arcs for all howitzers
-75mm AT guns fire at an arc to increase HE effect (like infantry-guns).
-8,8cm Pak 43-41 and 100mm fieldgun M1944 (BS-3) fire HE like a howitzer at howitzer-range.
-new AT ranges for tanks, TDs and AT guns
-Heavy Artillery (21cm M18, 17 K18, 152 Br-2, 203 B-4, 280 Br-5) now fire at steep angles (45-60 degrees gun elevation), this will make heavy artillery more useful and powerful.
-The KV-2, Panzer IV D,F1, Panzer III N, BT-7A, T-28s, T-35s and SPGs, including TDs of atleast 75mm guns will also fire their HE at an arc naturally.
-interwar field and medium artillery (leFH18, sK18, sFH18, M-30, Ml-20, A-19. K34) now have two different HE, the standard shell for max range (500m), the second shell (called Low Charge) for a steeper firing arc at lower range (ca 300m), this shell will be useful on small hilly maps or urban maps)
-added a smoke shell for the 10,5cm leFH 18 and 122mm field howitzer M-30.
