Aircraft loadouts have also been expanded to allow specific jets to launch air-to-ground anti-radiation missiles. The Encore update, included as a major addon as part of the Jets DLC's platform update, also adds the USS Liberty static destroyer ship and incorporates static heavy anti-air turrets for both NATO and CSAT: the MIM-145 Defender and S-750 Rhea. Several new aircraft carrier-based props and objects are also available for use in the Eden editor. Other free additions include the USS Freedom (CVN-83), a static aircraft carrier with a suite of automated defensive turrets, and a Y-32 Xi'an VTOL showcase for players that own the Apex DLC. The Data Link feature has also been included, allowing certain aircraft and ground vehicles to share their targeting/sensor data with one another.ĭynamic loadouts are now available for both rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, enabling mission editors to customise the types of armament used on aircraft provided that they have pylons which support the feature. This overhaul adds a new radar interface for targeting guided weapons using a mixture of Active Radar and Infrared sensor technology.
Available regardless of ownership, the Jets DLC includes an overhaul to ArmA 3's targeting and detection systems.
