Huge thanks to sincerity for teaching me the addon stuff and kosnag for the master materials and teaching me mesh morphs, as well as the people from the GHBHSH Discord server for making this mod possible.
An experimental Erusean project, specifically designed for submersible aviation cruisers. Nicknamed "Bourdon", the F/A-18R combines the strengths of the F/A-18F and the Rafale and is highly efficient in both air-to-air and air-to-surface operations.
The mod adds a new aircraft to the list of playable ones. Similarly to the XFA-36A and Rythus' ADFX-00, it is in the bottom of the list. The Bourdon uses the stats and cockpit view from the F/A-18F Block III.
The mod contains two variants: Type A and Type B.
Type A armament:
Gun - 2400x
MSL - 120x
4QAAM - 32x (Same as QAAM, but locks onto 4 targets at once.)
LASM - 16x
LRIL - 22x (Long Range Impulse Laser - A single-shot laser cannon developed by the Erusean Air and Space Administration, converted and derived from the Osean Electromagnetic Launcher. Each shot is powerful enough to deal with most aircraft, but due to needing to wait for a short chargeup before the shot and a long reload afterwards, it requires exceptional skill and accuracy. 150 damage, 10km (33000ft) range, 8 seconds reload. Labeled as TLS in-game.)
Type B armament:
Beam Saber - 3600x (An experimental melee-range laser, optimized for up-close-and-personal dogfights. With remarkable damage but modest range (200m), it is a high-risk-high-reward weapon that will definitely add more diversity to your experience. Labeled as PLSL in-game.)
MSL - 120x
MIRV - 12x (Four times the punch in a compact package - the MIRV is a missile, containing four smaller warheads with damage equal to that of the normal MSL. Labeled as 4AAM.)
LASM - 16x
LRIL - 22x
The skins are:
SACS
SACS - Mage
SACS - Spare
SACS - Strider
OMDF Ghost Shark
EASA
Note: Since the Osea skin is not present, selecting skins through the plane list using arrow keys might be impossible, so, use the skin list instead.
