📋 About This Mod
Summary:
I didn't see a stand-alone mod with the values I found worked best for me when playing, so I thought I'd share.
Changes to CombatGameConstants.json:
"BaseSpotterDistance" 300m increased to 500m - This is your visible range pilots can see.
"BaseSensorDistance" 400m increased to 450m - (Sensor Range) compared to vanilla values of 300m and 400m.
Now you can see almost as far as far as the PPC shoots. This opens up combat a lot, letting long range builds like the Awesome and Jagermech compete with AC20, ML and SRM builds.
Dependancies:
This mod relies on BTML and ModTek.
Here is the Drop Dead Simple Guide to Installing BTML & ModTek & ModTek mods but together by the generous geniuses who created these tools.
This gameplay mod for ArmA 3 increases the base spotting distance from 300m to 500m and sensor range from 400m to 450m, making units detect enemies from farther away. It's a simple tweak for players who want enhanced situational awareness without other changes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Boosts spotting range by 200m, letting you see enemies much earlier.
- Sensor range increase is modest but helps with detection.
- Lightweight mod, easy to install and doesn't bloat your game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, may not be compatible with the latest ArmA 3 patches.
- Only 50 endorsements, so it's not widely tested by the community.
- No documentation or config options—just a flat change that might not suit all playstyles.
For ArmA 3 players who want a straightforward buff to spotting and sensor ranges, especially those who play large-scale missions where early detection is key. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or want customizable settings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod folder in your ArmA 3 directory and enable it in the launcher.
- Test in the editor to see the new spotting distances before jumping into multiplayer.
- If you use other gameplay mods, check load order to avoid conflicts.
