OVERVIEW
XFA-27 -KS01- Loadout: XFA-27 with 4-MSL, 6-Target Homing EML, ADMM in weapon pods, and one-time 2-Wingman UAVs with improved stats
Commissioned by KazumiSaotome
DETAILS
This mod swaps XFA-27's loadout to a custom one - 4 standard missiles, 6-target homing EMLs, ADMMs enclosed in weapon pods, and adds a pair of Wingman UAVs that can be spawned once with droptank-trigger (hold weapon switch button). The drones can be given command to attack a specific target with their long-range missiles, or to support the player with their range-enhancing data link. Can be applied to skin slot(s) of your choice, including slots provided by Additional Skin Slots mod.
FEATURES
Custom Loadout: 4MSL. Adds an extra pair of standard missiles, loading up to 4 at a time. Compatible with AIM-9X mod.
Custom Loadout: 6-Target Homing EML replacing SOD. In place of SOD, 3 EML units are mounted - 2 under the missile pylons and 1 under the belly, each unit able to fire up to 2 shells at once. These EMLs can lock on to up to 6 enemies within 6000m.
Custom Loadout: ADMM in Weapon Pods replacing MSTM. As MSTM replacement, 2 ADMM pods enclosed in stealth weapon pods are mounted under the missile pylons. Stats are identical to the ones on CFA-44 Nosferatu. (Featured in screenshot: ADMM Type-Ace6 VisMod by Dantofu)
Pair of Wingman UAVs spawnable one time with droptank trigger. These UAVs can be ordered using Multiplayer Radio Button Down to follow the player while enhancing the player's missile lock on range with their data link (IEWS) (Defend/Support order), or using Multiplayer Radio Button Up to attack currently selected target with long range missiles (Attack order).
Enhanced plane capabilities. This custom loadout features enhanced capabilities - increased speed and mobility, capable of performing PSM at any speed below 3000km/h, and lower stall speed.

FURTHER NOTES & KNOWN ISSUES
- Not compatible with weapon swap mods for XFA-27 in the same slot
- The UAVs can be spawned once per mission . Once used, it cannot be replenished by return line or phase change. Using return line also despawns the UAVs. Restarting from checkpoint allows them to be respawned (with droptank-trigger).
- On their death or mission phase change, the UAVs leave behind their friendly target box
- The UAVs cannot be targeted or shot down by normal enemy fire, but can be shot down by CIWS or missile-intercepting lasers
- The UAVs' speed may cause their missiles to miss or flight pattern to be
erratic. Flying low while the UAV has not slowed down may also risk the UAV crashing. - When scrolling up/down using up/down button of controller to select Special
Weapon during return line session, drone command SFX will play (if those buttons are used for MP radio button up/down as well).- If this is done before deploying the drone, it will disable drone deployment
- If this is done before deploying the drone, it will disable drone deployment
