About Fire Supports: Thermobarics & Co

From mod.io

Because in this universe, the UN does not solve conflicts, it starts it. And then... ESCALATES IT. - Maxor

Extremely powerful fire supports for coop security and insurgents. Not balanced for any form of PVP. Designed more for coop with high bot counts or difficulty. They are also capable of teamwiping if the commander doesn't take care or enough people go rambo. These fire supports are also disabled from enemy bot use due to their overwhelming power except while using the unified mutator.

Generally incompatible with theater and player squad modifying mutators and mods. Especially ISMC (except Arbusto apparently). If the mod is theater compatible it's fair to assume that it may one day break due to updates on either side.
Generally compatible with enemy modifying mutators and mods.

 

Base mutators

Each of the following are incompatible with each other but can be set up in a server on a map-by-map basis, but don't ask me how since I'm not a server owner/operator - Source: Redback Gaming servers

Mutator name for security: Thermos
Mutator name for insurgency: ThermosINS
Mutator with rifleman and advisor radios: ThermosRadio
Ditto for insurgents: ThermosINSRadio
Mutator for commander radios: ThermosCommand
Ditto for insurgents: ThermosINSCommand

Unified Mutators

Unified mutator with both teams having fire support: ThermosUnified
Ditto with rifleman and advisor radios: ThermosRadioUnified
Ditto but commander radios: ThermosCommandUnified

The unified mutators are probably incompatible with mods that heavily modify the enemy team. Use them together at your own discretion.

Mutators dependent on above mutators

The following should be compatible with More Fire Support or Fire Support Mutators since those mods only modify base supports but needs confirmation. They are also most likely incompatible with themselves.

Infinite (well sorta at 999) fire supports added by this mod (minus Salvation): ThermosInf
No Minigun Truck: ThermosNoTruck
No Salvation: ThermosNoSalvation

Fire Supports for Security

Thermobaric Rockets
You wanted a point dead? We gotcha! We'll wipe that point from this plane of existence and everything in a +50m radius around that. Also probably PTSD inducing.
Safe distance in the open: 70-80m
Marked by bright orange flare colour and also gives a warning in chat

JDAM Strike
Replaces Smoke Artillery
Pesky fortified building? Don't worry! With the help of Warlock, these JDAMs will turn anyone inside a building to paste <del>as long as it's 3-4 storeys or smaller!</del>
Safe distance in the open: 65m
Marked by bright cyan flare colour

Minigun Truck
A minigun. On a truck. Does it need any more explanation? It can also hurt caches (slowly).
The trucks may refuse to spawn on certain maps or at certain places. This is due to the code needed to spawn it in and usually must spawn at navmesh areas for vehicles such as roads. This is also the reason why there are 10 trucks available in case some refuse to spawn.
Marked by grey flare colour (but probably don't need to care)

Hind Gunship
Replaces standard Apache Gunship (AI still uses it though)
A gunship with a 12.7mm minigun... at 5000 rounds per minute... and 64 rockets to launch... and 4 homing ATGMs. Piloted by our favourite little miss teamkiller Assassin. She's pretty good with aiming the gun this time... Usually... Also tell her what angle to come in from if behind isn't your cup of tea...

Time on Target Artillery
Replaces Explosive Artillery
Ok. You wanted better artillery. Use some shock and awe tactics with multiple barrages which impact simultaneously. Just don't run in too early.
Safe distance in the open: ~40m
Marked by faded red smoke marker

Fire Supports for Insurgents

'Purple Haze' Drones
Replaces Smoke Mortars
No one knows what this is, where it came from or who made it. Only that it kills everything near it in mere seconds. <del>Yes this is a Jimi Hendrix and Jojo reference.</del>
WARNING: Purple Haze cannot be extinguished nor will gas masks protect from it. You MUST stay clear of it to survive.
Safe distance in the open: Not purple. Aimable
Marked by bright purple flare colour
