1.01 Update Air_Burst_artillery

Guys,
Thought I would go ahead and mention this before one of you stumbles across it and poses the question.

In ERA 4 "what if" missions are two test missions for Air Burst Artillery. We had intended for this new artie and effects to be available to mission builders for added impact and variety in mission building. However the installer did not pick up the "vehicle" air_burst_artillery and therfore it was not included in the update. All of the other components, gun, shell and effects are there. Only the vehicle is missing. We will make sure it is included in the March update but if any mission builders would like to have it prior to that time simply drop any Groundhog an email and we will get it to you. You can then upload the vehicle with your mission.


Attached are some photos of the shell and documentation on it. It is an anti-troop shell that explodes a couple of hundred feet above ground and leaves no crater. It also has a different sound, smoke and much more visible fireball and several dozen white hot fragments that spread out over the area. It was widely used by both Allied and German artie and gives your Battlefield scenes an improved mixture of explosions and drifting smoke of a different type, texture and shape.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
