The mod works, problem is that it works too well, mfs will dump all their nades before firing the first shot, sometimes even killing the entire squad in the process

what is that pic from?

Advise to add reloadTime to weapon throw, I have been spammed by hand grenades so many times that it's not so hilarious now...

@Cheyenesku
Not much that can be done about that, except set AI to careless when passengers.

@Engicorp
You can tweak the accuracy by editing the config. There is a bit of documentation in the code, DM me if you need help tweaking it.

"AI are much more likely to use grenade launchers"
This is so good, but there's this fact that vanilla AI is literally 100% accurate when it comes to grenade launchers. Obviously not the mod's fault, it's one of those things I hoped Bohemia would fix (same with turret-based weapons)

When I transport AI troops in a Heli they fire their RPGs from inside the heli at enemies even through closed doors.
Funnily enough it makes my heli goes super fast (beyond 600km/h) and removes pedal controls :D

???

Like "Heart of Reich"?

They are quite similar though from memory this has a higher chance of use than LAMBS. You can safely use these mods together.

I currently use LAMBS_RPG. How does the RPG function of this mod differ from LAMBS?

No.

Can this stop my ai from being shit at throwing grenades and killing 30 friendlies

"Grenade damage radius is increased by about 50%." - does this affect other projectiles such as Titan AT rockets as I'm struggling to find a safe distance to engage at close range, even taking damage at over 100m away and mortars being even more deadly.

I'm not really modding anymore. For tanks, use my mod Drongo's Better AI Gunners.

I really hope you can create a mod for airplanes, tanks, armored vehicles to use different ammunition when facing different targets. LAMBS has this feature, but it will affect Zeus' simplest movement commands

The AI spams grenades 😭

Unfortunately it is not possible. The changes are all at the config level, it is not possible to change it by script.

Excellent MOD. May I ask if you can add a CBA setting to adjust the frequency of AI throwing grenades?

I was Check DAFS but you can create mods on FSM OR SCRIPTS without modules?

This works pretty well, with and without LAMBS. But now I am getting WaW flashbacks. Using this alongside Grenade Indicators, I have had rifle squads within >25m all throw all their grenades all at the same time. Terrifying little red icons all over my screen. Should probably use this alongside smaller squad counts. ALSO I believe this is causing AI to spam smoke everywhere. I am seeing excessive amounts of smoke grenades at the start of combat compared to straight vanilla. Will keep playing around with it, thanks!

..."I have a mod coming out soon that deals with AI drone use"... Interesting. I'll be monitoring communications...

Check out DAFS on my workshop or LAFS by Rimmy. I have a mod coming out soon that deals with AI drone use.

and drones

Hello great creator of cool mods) can you create a mod for equipment where bots use tanks, helicopters, planes and artillery against infantry in a more advanced way and use different shells for this, for example, with a 10% chance that all the power will be used and not just machine guns?

@Drongo, it's pretty difficult to answer cuz I'm using about 80 mods in total. What about AI mods, I always use:

1. AI avoids prone
2. Hide among the grass
3. LAMBS_Suppression

And switching between "ASR AI3", "LAMBS_Danger.fsm" and "isky's AI tweaks" every scenario. I have a good experience in mod testings, and LAMBS cause troubles sometimes, but Danger.fsm has its own awesome features (which is cool btw).

alright cool. thank you! S tier mod from S tier modder.

Edit the cpp. You probably only need to edit the LAMBS one. Maybe the minimum distance needs to be raised. I don't know anything about FSM, maybe something related to grenades is happening there.

If you provide reproduction steps and which mods you have loaded it will help me troubleshoot it for the next release. The next update should have CUPs and Reaction Forces launcher support.

@Dante
What kind of environment and range? WHat mods? In my testing with vanilla units at close range in a small village, LAMBS was less likely to use grenades.

@PapaEnclave
It should work with any mission, though CUP launchers have not been added yet.

does this work for Antistasi

upd: yep, with Isky's AI skill tweaks it's ok too. For me, your mod loaded together with LAMBS_Danger is pretty buggy (only because of crazy grenade throwing by AI when in danger).

Tested it with LAMBS and ASR AI3. With LAMBS and your mod loaded together bots go crazy sometimes. Just whoa, buggy. But with ASR AI3 it's totally ok, way more realistic. Gonna test it with "Isky's AI skill tweaks" only.

your welcome and don't worry take your time don't set yourself a deadline on completing a mod that you make available for free

@Dante
Glad to hear it. LAMBS_RPG takes a more balanced (and probably realistic) approach, it's a matter of taste. Because of the high values in this mod, the impact is easier to see, especially in a short engagement.

@Beviin CT-6269
I'd love to do that, but the mod is completely config-based, there are no scripts to run a check. I'll try raising the minimum range for throwing the next time I do testing, maybe that can help.

This mod definitely adds a level of threat and danger to our ops that was never before seen.
Would you be open to the idea of adding some kind of check to see if the intended target is a) within casualty radius of the thrower and/or b) within casualty radius of the thrower's friends? We're running into an issue where AI in buildings will throw grenades at us but end up killing themselves in droves.

@Drongo, I played 1 DRO scenario (no ACE) and1 short OPCOM mission. Your mod worked fine. No broken AI behaviours were detected. Also, was pleased to see AI units use RPG against infantry. Like, hell yeah! Lambs_RPG is useless imho.

Let me know what you think. The new values are based on a small AI squad vs squad urban mission which logged the use of grenades over 3 minutes. I ran it a heap of times and sometimes even with the same config loaded results can vary a lot.

@Drongo, hell yeah, will test it today. Thank you, dude.

Update:
CHANGELOG
v0.12
Reduced hand grenade spam
Reduced change of UGL at close range
Added custom configs for ACE
Added support for many RHS launchers

@Drongo, nice news! Staying tuned.

Fair enough, maybe check it again after the weekend, I'll have a patch out by then. The current release makes AI about 8x more likely to use grenades, the version I am testing is about 4x.

I dig this mod but after two cases when AI bots exploded themselves while in building (they heard gunfire nearby) I decided to wait for some fixes and updates.

On the weekend or next week I'll release a small stand-alone mod with just the the AI grenade throwing (a less spammy version) and none of the other stuff included.

this mod makes the battles so much crazier lol. love it
Sometimes even too much crazy

@Drongo

Is possible version without increased damage radius?

@Furio
Cheers man, drone tweak mod will probably be out this weekend and another minor mod after that.

@kevindasupa
I'm not sure, but I will add compatibility for RHS, CUP and CDLC in the future.

Does RHS inherit the same values from vanilla to be compatible with this mod?

the goat is back

After a lot of trial and error, I have the AI use of hand grenades much more balanced. I'll update soon.

My group doesn't use ACE, but if someone tells me the final cfgPatches entry in the ACE load order, I'll add a compatibility patch that doesn't touch the damage.

Doesn't ACE already increase fragmentary effects and also blast compression / overpressure effects in an enclosed space or with walls or embankments nearby when an explosion goes off inside or near? A grenade detonating on a flat field isn't hugely dangerous unless you're standing above it, laying on top of it, or are immediately right next to it. You don't want to be in a foxhole, room, or vehicle when an explosive goes off inside, though. If so, wouldn't this be (no pun intended) overkill with ACE? Regardless, the AI change might be interesting.

Is this compatible with ace?
