(Approved) Public Server Mod Request: FIR AWS(AirWeaponSystem)

Mod Name: FIR AWS(AirWeaponSystem)

 

Mod URL:

Reason: Its a mod the unit uses and it adds extra munitions to aircraft. The UH-1Y currently can only carry Hydra 70s and Illumination and by default it has a laser, APKWS is an addon to the Hydra 70 that make them laser guided which would give more use to the laser since buddy lasing isn't something that can happen with 1 aircraft up which seems to be how it goes most of the time on the Pub server.

The problem with adding this mod to the current Public Server mod list is there is not a simple method to apply a blacklist/whitelist. Unfortunately there are a LOT of munitions that are devastating to both server performance and the quality of play (AP/AT mines, thermobaric bombs, cluster munitions). If you know of  a way to implement a whitelist/blacklist into our existing code for this, please feel free to contact S4 with a proof of concept. That said, a whitelist/blacklist has already been made, but a way to implement it has not.

Reason: FIR (AWS) Was For the longest time on the Public Server. It has been missed since it was removed by a few of the Pub server players who would fly.

(Would not let me post my entire paragraph so here is the rest of it)  FIR (AWS) Was For the longest time on the Public Server. It has been missed since it was removed by a few of the Pub server players who would fly. FIR (AWS) adds enhanced lethality weapons with out destroying civilian infrastructure if needed to support GCE with in the Town Limits. FIR (AWS) adds additional ammo presets for the Main gun and different counter measures for aircraft that work better then the current base arma counter measures.  Thank you for taking the time to read this proposal.

A way to implement restrictions have been sent.
