FGM-148 Javelin V4.0

Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium, the iconic FGM-148 Javelin.

“History is written by the victor…”, General Shepherd. 🇺🇸 🇪🇸

Offers a Fire-and-Forget launch system with automatic infrared guidance. If Javelin can see it, you can kill it.

Features a Top-Down Attack Mode to easily destroy tanks by hitting them where their armor thinnest.
Yes, has a functional iconic Top-Attack mode 😊😊🥳🎉

Uses Direct Attack Mode against helicopters like in real life.

Equipped with shaped charge tandem warhead.

Instructions Manual & Limitations
– First and foremost, this isn’t Call of Duty MW. I did what I could do without even able to use script. Was asked paid service from some script devs but they never returned.

– It is imperative to aim ABOVE the target. The missile has an automatic altitude gain (begins at launch phase) although it is very minor and unlike real life, it requires you to fire it upwards.

– Has 2 stage propulsion. Couldn’t manage to simulate a realistic push-out though.

– Do NOT fire it downwards, or you will blast yourself into the Oblivion!! It doesn’t feature a propulsion fail-safe! You have been fairly warned!!
– Also do not do straight forward dump fires. The missile requires to be locked on to a target in order to activate the automatic climb, despite being very minor, it will save your life.

– I had to retract the stabilizing fins cuz they were clipping through the launcher itself 😥 The only way would be changing the missile model after it being launched, but I don’t know is it even possible 🥺😥

Efficiency Rates
– Highly effective against slow/fast moving ground/aquatic vehicles.
– Best used against armored targets, it’s overkill and 80 thousand $$$ taxpayer money waste if you fire at light transports. ( But have fun too 😅😂 )

Effective Ranges
– Medium-Long distance ground/aquatic vehicles (Aim ABOVE the target / Will activate Top Attack mode).
– Medium distance rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) (Aim TOWARDS or SLIGHTLY ABOVE the target / Will switch to Direct Attack mode).
– Short distance propeller aircraft (Aim AHEAD of the target / Will switch to Direct Attack mode).

– Can not catch up with jet engine aircrafts.
– Ineffective at Short distance against ground/aquatic vehicles (May cause unintended effects).
– Terminal attack phase doesn’t always necessarily has to be 80-90 degree. It can be as low as 60 degree, this is quite normal and how a Javelin works in real life.
– Miiiigghtt overshoot the target in some cases, especially if the target is below effective range. Don’t worry though, it will still acquire it at terminal attack phase.

Installation
Replaces Homing Launcher. I tried to make Add-On version but I am doing something wrong and it doesn’t equip the weapon.
Please let me know if you know how to 😊😇😇

Place these to designated locations;

FGM148Javelin >> mods\update\x64\dlcpacks

and

weaponhominglauncher.meta >> mods\update\update.rpf\dlc_patch\mpchristmas2\common\data\ai

Then edit the dlclist.xml in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data;

dlcpacks:/FGM148Javelin/

Surprised you can install Replace version as a dlcpack too instead of copying the entire vanilla dlcpack?
