RPGTard Vanilla

Description
This mod modifies the ammo "cost" of the vanilla RPG-7s such that AI is MUCH more likely to use RPGs. It also removes the restriction on firing RPGs against infantry. The AI will finally use their RPGs like in the movies!

This only works if the unit doens't have a pistol.

Video Demonstration

The screenshot for this mod was the 1st time I played with it enabled on a server.

This should work on all vanilla units using the RPG-7 and 5.45x39 ball or tracer ammo.

Technical background: this mod sets the cost of using RPGs to 0, and the cost of using standard 5.45 ammo to 500000 - this is the only way to "trick" ARMA 3 into allowing units to use their launchers regularly against the enemy.

During my testing, the changes didn't appear to have any negative effects on standard infantry, but this is an early development item. If you see any issues, please let me know ASAP.

I decided to test your mod with all my mods unloaded to see if something else was affecting it. I found RHS version is not working at all, but vanilla version is working, although I found some peculiarities which I will share with you.
Test was done with steam workshop mods, RHSUSAF, RHSAFRF, RPGTard (Vanilla) on Stratis map. All changes to models were made in editor first.
- Control test was with syndicate Specialist(Launcher) unit - works, but only shoots one rocket, then runs (mostly i saw running away and out of sight over a nearby ridge, they have strange glitch where they turn aim at you but dont shoot then run and do this multiple times on the way. Then i would pursue and get close and they'd shoot with AK normally, or if not danger close they fire RPG again then run some more. Only once i saw unit came toward me after firing RPG, got within maybe 50m and started to fire AK as normal, but he was much close to begin with then the -other tests).
(Continued below)

- Now, if you give that same unit a pistol then behavior changes, and instead they will fire a rocket, reload RPG and continue to fire all rockets, and then instead of running, they stay put and shoot at you with AK as normal.
- I tested with 45 ACP (vanilla) and M9 (RHS) pistols.
- If i give another unit the RPG7, he will not prioritize it, instead will fire AK or other rifle.
- Then over the course of several tests (might be too tedious to describe each iteration to come to this conclusion), but the AK that the syndicate Specialist(launcher) default loads with is the AKS-74U 5.45mm (vanilla), and if I change it to other rifles then he will no longer be affected by RPGtardness, instead will prioritize rifle. Conversely if I give another unit the AKS-74U 5.45mm (vanilla)+ RPG7 they gain RPGTard behavior. Tested with vanilla and RHS units (made sure they had ammo after changing gun), and tested with syndicate Helicopter(pilot) unit who starts with that AKS-74U 5.45mm (vanilla) also.

Thanks locka10 - I'll look into this - I just verified I hjave the ammo flags set to allow use of the RPGs against just about all targets (AIAmmoUsageFlags = "64+128+256+512";). There may be a change in the way ARMA handles ammo "cost". I have an updated method I used on the CUP version of this addon that may fix the issue.
