Dead From the Air - Airstrikes

Air support for Co-op and Realism. When a horde, a big crowd or a Tank comes for the team, fighter jets answer from the sky with missiles, a strafing run and bombs. Throw a pipe bomb and an AC-130 gunship circles above the team and shoots the infected with its 25 mm gun, 40 mm and 105 mm cannons.

Guide with every setting, presets and examples: Dead From the Air - Airstrikes: Guide and Settings

Features

  • Jets come on their own: hordes, crowds, Tanks and a thrown vomit jar call them.
  • The AC-130 follows the team and has real ammunition, then it leaves.
  • Fair to the team: strikes cannot down or kill survivors.
  • Finales: the support stops when the rescue vehicle is coming.
  • Easy to tune: settings files with presets, main knobs and a switch for every weapon, in Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\ems\airstrike_combat\ (created the first time a map loads). Edit with Notepad, save, load a map.

Compatibility

  • Host only (or dedicated server). Nothing extra to download: it only uses assets that are already in the game.
  • Co-op and Realism by default; indoor maps are off.
  • Optional, client side (only the players who subscribe see or hear them):
  • [list]
  • A-10 Thunderbolt turns the F18 jets into A-10s.
  • Warzone 2.0 Airstrike A-10 sound (F18) gives them the A-10 gun sound.
  • AC-130 2K - Compressed Edition turns the game's C-130 into a real gunship model.

[*]Do not run it together with the original Random Air Strikes mod. [/list]

Credits

Based on Random Air Strikes on All Maps by ChimiChamo (the original idea, the jet flyby and the survivor lines), heavily extended. All models, particles and sounds come from the game.
