📋 About This Mod

OVERVIEW

This mod changes CFA-44's loadout to be entirely composed of EML, and modifies the CFA-44 model - adding belly-mounted Arclight Railgun similar to X-02S, and MSLs are replaced by EMLs used by Su-33s and F/A-18Fs in open state. The usual CFA-44 loadout weaponry is replaced by EML-like weapons.

Gun port-mounted Small Caliber EML replacing CFA-44's standard twin-GUNs. These lower-caliber railguns boasts longer range than standard GUNs and deals higher damage per-hit, but lower rate of fire.

Standard issue EML replacing CFA-44's standard MSLs. These railguns are identical to the ones mounted on Su-33s and F/A-18Fs with no performance difference (other than two being mounted at a time)

6-lock Targetable EML replacing All-Direction Multipurpose Missile (ADMM). Projectiles fired from these EML units are capable of minor guidance and leading towards their intended targets. The firing system boasts extremely fast lock on speed but small lock on angle, and capable of locking on to the same target multiple times for increased firepower.

Full-auto Shotgun EML replacing basic Purgatorio EMLs. These special-issue EML units can radpidly unload multiple shells at once. Sight Correction Algorithm is advised due to the spread nature.

Helios-airburst dual-EML replacing Integrated Electronic Warfare Support device. This twin-EML unit fires two EML shells at once that converge at a point, triggering a massive Helios explosion that covers a wide area. Can lock on to targets to adjust detonation distance.

Explosive Arclight EML mounted on the belly. Triggered by holding weapon switch button, this EML has infinite ammo and its projectile has small area-of-effect, but can only be fired during a position where a bomb drop  can be performed (slight roll or climb can be tolerated, but not inverted, rolled 90 degrees, etc).

Railgun Platform Performance Adjustment. In an attempt to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of wielding railgun weaponry, CFA-44 bearing the full-railgun loadout is adjusted. Speed, pitch, and roll performance has been significantly reduced. Stability has been improved by reducing pitch/roll overshoot and nosedive while inverted. Speed retention during high-G turn is improved, and the plane no longer suffer from lasting "drift" after a high-G turn. PSM speed upper limit increased to 600km/h, and stall speed reduced to 228km/h.

This is an attempt to mimic CFA-44 -PROTOTYPE- DLC from Ace Combat 6. Speed and mobility performance values are approximated from PositronCannon's Ace Combat 6 real statistics spreadsheet.

OPTIONAL - 12 Railgun-Malebolges for 3rd Special Weapon. As alternative to Helios-Airb

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod replaces the CFA-44's standard weapons with a full railgun (EML) loadout, including EML GUN, EML for MSL, EML-ish SP Weapons, and droptank-triggered EML. It can be applied to all skins or selected slots and supports the Additional Skin Slot mod, with optional patches available.

✨ Key Features

Replaces CFA-44 weapons with EML GUN, EML for MSL, EML-ish SP Weapons, and droptank-triggered EML
Can be applied to all skins or only selected skin slot(s)
Supports Additional Skin Slot mod
Includes optional patches for additional compatibility

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Turns the CFA-44 into a railgun monster—every weapon slot gets an EML variant, so you're never without that satisfying charge shot
  • Flexible application: you can slap it on all skins or just your favorite slot, which is great for keeping other loadouts intact
  • Plays nice with the Additional Skin Slot mod, so modders and skin enthusiasts can mix and match without conflicts

⚠️ Cons

  • Small but dedicated following (40 endorsements) — this is a niche mod for a specific plane, so don't expect a huge community behind it
  • Last updated in July 2025 — if the game has patched since then, there's a chance it could break, though no current issues are reported
🎯 Is This For You?
For Ace Combat fans who main the CFA-44 and want to turn it into a pure railgun platform. If you love the EML's one-shot potential and want it on every weapon slot, this is for you. Skip if you prefer balanced loadouts or don't play the CFA-44.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using the Additional Skin Slot mod, make sure to install the optional patch for it, otherwise the EML loadout might not show up on extra slots
  • When applying to selected skin slots, double-check which slot you're editing in the mod files—getting it wrong can leave you with a mixed loadout
  • Since the description doesn't include install steps, check the mod's file structure and drop the .pak or .uasset files into your game's mod folder, then verify in-game
