Summary
A fully featured M777 155 mm howitzer mod for Arma Reforger, featuring a realistic 3D model, custom projectilse, and physically driven ballistic tables for realistic long-range indirect fire
Description
This mod introduces a fully custom M777 155 mm towed howitzer to Arma Reforger. The goal of the mod is to provide a believable, artillery-scale indirect fire experience that fits naturally into Reforger’s sandbox.
The howitzer uses a custom 155 mm HE shell with a dedicated ballistic setup, including generated indirect-fire tables rather than hard-coded ranges. Ballistics are driven by real projectile properties such as mass, diameter, length, muzzle velocity, and air drag, allowing elevation and range to behave consistently across firing angles. Elevation is expressed in NATO mils, enabling realistic gun laying and compatibility with artillery-style fire control workflows.
The mod is designed to be a solid foundation for future expansion, such as multiple charge levels, additional shell types, fire control tools, or advanced crew interactions. It aims to balance realism with playability, offering a convincing modern artillery platform while remaining accessible within Arma Reforger’s current systems.
Existing features:
- Artillery elevation/azimuth controls
- Shell loading system
- Firing system
- Towing system (MP still has some issues)
Planned features:
- Shell propellents which would introduce more range
- More types of ammunition
- Better animations
- And more...
