📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the AI/NPC Missiles Project (AIMP) and Advanced Weapons Project (AI-AWP), where you will find proper rocket/missile models with their unique stats specific for the AI/NPC units in Ace Combat 7. As the mod name implies, the AIMP and AI-AWP's goal is to change the missile models found on enemy ships, ground units, and even UAVs, to their proper standards.

Changes offered to AIMP is ranging from proper realism to undefined/fiction; the works that I did is limited to the current resources I have in possession while matching up with the references, so keep in mind that not everything is 100% accurate.

-
[]M26 MLRS rocket (allied rocket trucks using M142 HIMARS - might have been smth else but this is as close as I can get as it's intended for M270)
- [
-
[]9M55 Smerch (enemy rocket trucks using 9K58 Smerch)
- [
-
[]RGM-84D using base LASM model (allied Aegis ship w/ Mk141 launcher system)
- [
-
[]9M31 Strela (special missile for Alicorn's SAM system)
- [
-
[]9M330 Tor VLS System (enemy ships with 3K95 VLS launcher system such as the enemy Battle Cruiser and Destroyer; also used on enemy Aegis ship)

The AI-AWP complements the AIMP, where it can be patched when used alongside mods that alter the general stats of either ground units or the weapons. So far, Enhanced Gunplay and Know Your Enemy mod have changes that affect the AI-AWP. The AI-AWP offers unique missile stats per missile type when used alongside the Enhanced Gunplay mod so t
This mod replaces generic AIM-9 missile models used by AI/NPCs with platform-specific models, improving visual accuracy. It includes compatibility patches for Enhanced Gunplay and Know Your Enemy. With 72 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche visual improvement for players who notice missile details.
