Provides access to a number of Combat Support and Combat Service Support elements for the player, including Offensive Support from Artillery and Mortars, Close Air Support from Attack Helicopters or Fast Air, and Tactical Logistic Support from Support Helicopters or Transport Aircraft. These units are controlled exclusively by the player and will not be used by OPCOM.
Usage: Place the CS module in the editor and then Synch (F5) a number of individual CS Elements to it. Configure each CS Element using the drop down boxes. Each CS Element modules will act as the start location for CS Units in game so take care to place them in safe and suitable locations.
CS automatically detects which side the unit belongs to and will only make it available for use by units friendly to that side. You only need a single main CS module.
Fast air will require a runway to operate and the related CS Element module must be placed on or near a suitable taxiway.
Vehicles will spawn facing the same direction as the azimuth of the module.
By default, players must have a Laser Designator to submit CS requests. The item required is customisable in the main CS module.
