SUMMARY
It's such a wasted opportunity for a unique special weapon reserved for one aircraft to have woefully underwhelming performance compared to its contemporaries. Even dumb-fired rocket overshadows the usefulness of guided rocket due to its limited capability of solely being an anti-ground ordnance, firing a salvo of 8 rockets against just one target.
This weapon mod aims to boost the performance of Guided Rocket (GRKT), turning the dull guided rocket into a truly smart precision guided munition. Upgrade to its guidance enables the guided rocket to finally lock onto aerial target, and gains multi-target acquisition capability against multiple threats at once. Its warhead is now equipped with a proximity fuze to counter highly maneuverable enemies such as unmanned drones. Several enhancements are also incorporated into the guided rocket system as well to vastly increase its effectiveness and competitiveness on the battlefield.
NEW FEATURES
• Multi-purpose
APKWS can now lock onto both GROUND and AERIAL targets.
• Multi-lock
Enables multi-lock guidance with various configuration from 2-Target up to 14-Target.
• Proximity Fuze
Each rocket is equipped with a proximity fuze that will detonate on close contact with enemy aircraft. Effective against UAV.
OTHER ENHANCEMENTS
• Increased lock-on range from 4000 m to 5000 m
• Increased rocket salvo from 8 to 14 rockets
• Added reticle from Rocket Launcher (RKT)
• Decreased reload time from 8 to 4.5 seconds
