Also, several liberties were taken on certain details in building the models, so this mod may not look realistic or plausible design-wise.
You need to download the Playable Drones Addon mod first to use this mod.
============================
Since this mod gives a clearer sense of scale to the MQ-99's internal weapon bay, I decided to change the special weapons' properties to suit my iteration of the drone's model better. These changes are as following:
MQ-99 Special Weapons Changes
- MSL : Changed the model to the MICA IR. Now mounted on 2 hardpoints and deals standard missile damage.
- XSDB: Now mounted to only 2 hardpoints, but has faster reload time and higher performance to compensate.
MQ-99SK(V)2/C-8 Special Weapons Changes
- MSTM: Changed the model to SASM's (AIM-132). Mounted on 2 hardpoints and has standard MSTM damage in addition to SASM's area-of-effect radius, but now its multi-lock capability is removed.
- MGP : Now uses a modified model of Megalith's ADA-01A gun pod model, and behaves like my Playable F-104C -Avril- mod's custom MGP. Keep in mind that you'll need to aim more precisely as it lacks Raycast data.
============================
Included with this mod are alternate engine VFX, readjustment patches to use M4rk0z's Land Anywhere Mod with this drone, and optional custom skins as listed below:
- Slot 3: Broadcaster blue livery, based on the Berkut statue inside Gromov Flight Research Institute. Only for the MQ-99.
- Slot 3: Mobius blue body and white underside livery. Available in ISAF and IUN markings. Only for the MQ-99SK(V)2/C-8.
- Slot 4: Mage Squadron tribute livery. Based on PAF's Bialo-Czerwone Iskry team's PZL TS-11 paintjob.
