📋 About This Mod

The vanilla mortar doesn't really fit the part of artillery so I've replaced it with the WWII era 155mm howitzer M1. It's a medium artillery piece deployed during WWII and Vietnam and still used today by a number of countries. This might even fit into the lore since the timeline diverges after the Second World War.

The howitzer was first produced under the designation 155mm Howitzer M1, in the 60's it was changed to M114 155mm Howitzer. The gun in this model is on the M1A1 carriage. You can get more information from the technical manual.

Note, the following video is a bit out-of-date in the sense it was made before the animation started working. That's the only difference, everything else is the same.

Details
The meshes and textures of the howitzer, shells, and pallet are all made from scratch in Blender and Substance Painter 2.

1. Howitzer is in firing position with it's trail open, firing jack in place, and part of the shield lowered to allow the telescope to be used.

  • []Textures are in 2K and 4K.
    • []It has a simple but awesome firing animation with the barrel recoiling by Ethreon. A big thank goes to deadbeeftffn for helping with implementing it, it would not have worked if it wasn't for them.
      • []Note, to get the animation to work with Angry Artillery you'll need to edit the script. I've written a little guide for that in the Articles section.

        2. Single 155mm shell and a pallet of six shells.

        • []The single 155mm shell's texture can be swapped out so it has a different marking or saying scribbled on it--texture swaps are under optional files.
          • []The pallets can be snapped together.

            []The actual projectiles seen shooting out of the artillery piece and impacting during an artillery strike have been changed to the model of the 155mm shell.

            • []Textures are in 2K for both shells and the pallet.

              3. War memorial with the howitzer and a waving flag which you can place anywhere.

              • []Based off of this real life memorial. Activating it will show the line written on the stone.

                All the objects, except the flag, can be sunk into the ground.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install this mod and let it overwrite the vanilla mortar files — no extra setup needed.
  • Place the howitzer in your settlement and assign a settler to it to use it as artillery, just like the vanilla mortar.
  • Check your load order: since it replaces a vanilla item, it should load after any mods that alter the mortar or settlement objects.
