Myke has released an beta test version of his GBU-43/B, the mother of all bombs on the BI-Forums.
This is a scripttest for the destruction radius of the upcoming GBU-43/B (aka "Mother of all bombs"). There is no sound yet and the destruction was not initiated by the bomb itself. Total destruction radius is 200m, effect radius is 400m.
General functions: The GBU-43/b is not loaded like other weapons usually are. Instead you'll find the bomb itself under "empty -> GLT -MOAB" as editorplaceable object. This is also how it's meant to be used. This way also auto-restricts the amount of usable MOAB's since there is no auto-rearming like with usual vehicle weapons.
So place the GBU-43/B on a airfield, place a C-130J nearby. Step up to the bomb and you should get a action menu to load the bomb into the plane. Once loaded, the C-130J will have a "Unload GB-43/B" action for the case you change your mind. Loading a GBU-43/B will disable cargo space and vice versa, if someone is in cargo space, you can't load the bomb.
Although the real GBU-43/B is GPS-guided, this version here is laserguided. If you can provide a proper working target selecting and guidance system, be my guest. Until then you have to live with the non-realistic laser guidance.
