Playable SLUAV - Aircraft Addon

This mod adds the Alicorn's SLUAV into Ace Combat 7's aircraft roster.

It is a carrier-based craft with all-around average stats. Not fragile, but not too sturdy, and reasonably maneuverable. Unlike most aircraft, the drone's standard missile hatches are on the upper side of its fuselage. This design is based on the Cormorant MPUAV's supposed weapon hatch on the particular protrusions on this section.

Also, due to its relatively small size, the camera may clip through the map or objects during cutscenes.

============================

Armaments:

Main gun : Standard machine gun, 2400 rounds.

Main Weapon: Standard MSTM, 100 units.

Special W1 : Quick Multi-Purpose Missiles, 44 units, mounted on 4 hardpoints. Essentially QAAMs that can lock into ground targets.

Special W2 : Unguided Bomb Large, 30 units. mounted on 2 hardpoints. Has higher damage and larger impact radius than UGB.

Special W3 : High Power Air-to-Air Missiles. 36 units. mounted on 2 hardpoints.

Tips: MSTM can only be upgraded using Special Missile parts, so don't bother using any Standard Missile parts.

============================

Skin Variants:

• []Slot 1: Osean digital blue camouflage.

  []Slot 2: Erusean three-tone black-white-gray camouflage.

  []Slot 3: White body with red wing stripes similar to the typical Dassault prototype livery.

  []Slot 4: Mage Squadron tribute livery.

  []Slot 5: Spare Squadron tribute livery.

  []Slot 6: Strider Squadron tribute livery.

  []Slot 7: Yuktobanian blue three-tone camouflage.

  []Slot 8: Hrimfaxi black body with red wingtips.

  []Slot 9: Alicorn/SACS black body with red-and-white stabilizer.

  Also available in the archive is an optional file to give the enemy SLUAV in SP Missions the Erusean or Alicorn skin, as well as the alternate plain gray livery for Skins 1 and 2.

  ============================

  If you want to use the drone with other addon mods, install sincerity's Addon Compatibility Mod.
