3. 18 Updated information:
Crash problems are fixed. And I've optimized the textures of the Ancestor Launcher. Reduced wing size by 10%. Added the display of the fifth shell in the backpack
About the scope: Every dot represents 100m. And it will replace other weapons' scopes: Laser Cannon, Quasar Cannon, Autocannon, Commando, Airburst Launcher
About the wings:They blocked the view a little, a higher FOV may relieve this situation. Of course, you can choose not to install it. :)
