ArmA2 Arena Tank Defense Demo 02

Progression of work on Arena defense system. System now simulates actual launching of charge at static distance and speed and uses calculations of target velocity to launch charge at the correct time. Intercepting code is also now more realistic.

Charge launches at 125 m/sec and detonates 0.14 seconds after launch. Destruction range of projectiles is roughly a 45 degree arc extending down from the projectile out to a range of 10-15 meters.

This video demonstrates an engagement by a TOW launcher.

Awesome.

Several questions:

1) Will it be possible to use it against close enemy infantry in manual mode?

2) Will it be possible to use it to clean routes barriers for the tank?

3)Any ideas of the actual model in game?

[Noubers]

1) Not sure if there will be a manual mode. The system doesn't use any of ArmA2s weapon classes right now. It spawns everything from script.

2) Not sure I understand this question?

3) Not sure again. We don't have any vehicles right now this is deployed on. As far as I understand the Russian do not actually deploy any Arena systems as of yet and the system remains solely for export. It was proposed for the T-80 mainly and the M version of the BMP3. Neither of those are in ACE2 yet.

how would this do against javelins?

[Noubers]

Direct attack it does pretty well. Not tried with top down, but it should be about the same, though speed calculations now are static and dont account for the force of gravity or air resistance. The engagment times are so short though that it really doesnt matter (0.14 seconds).

@Noubers acuatally now i believe its 0.005 seconds

[Kommandant101]

where to get this?

[SheikahZeo]

Looks amazing. What % of missiles will be successfully intercepted?

Not only export. The system is not cheap , so not ALL russian tanks and APCs have it of course. Only the most elite and important units have it installed ATM, but in the future number of such tanks certainly will grow. I think It would be better for the game to have several versions of modern T90M,T80UA,BMP-3M

with and without Arena.

About 2 question , i mean in RL it is possible to use the system to clean the way from blocks,barricades,trees,mines and etc..
