AS_M57_AutoMortar is a standalone Arma 3 mod featuring the Serbian M57 120mm mortar, equipped with a fully scripted semi-automatic firing system. The mortar requires a crew to load shells manually, but does not need a gunner or player interaction to fire — once the shell is inserted, it automatically launches. Ideal for automated fire support, immersive scenarios, and advanced mission scripting.
- Self-firing system — no gunner required
- Realistic ballistics based on real-life data for the M73 mortar shell (Krušik)
- ACE compatibility with optional artillery table support
- Multiple shell types supported (HE, smoke, illumination – configurable)
- Easy mission integration with script-based fire commands
- Built without dependency on
script_component.hppor macros
