OVERVIEW
This mod brings alternative to ADF-11F's weaponries, including mini-superweapons.
PLSL Gun can be changed to TLS Gun (long range, very accurate, high damage per second, fast ammo consumption)
TLS can be changed to Helios Marker (long range, semi-active, narrow guidance ring, extremely wide area, high damage). Note that this weapon may have trouble attacking airborne targets, especially fast-moving ones.
QAAM can be changed to Satellite Missile (very long range, high damage, long travel time, air-to-air only). Note that fast moving air targets can still dodge the missiles.
PLSL WUAV turns into Stationary Laser UAV (very long range, requires player positioning, attacks target with tracking laser)
Additionally, droptank trigger (hold weapon switch button) activates either IEWS similar to the one on ADFX-01 but with smaller effective range. As alternative, this mod includes option to use Miniature Active Protection System / Rectenna Barriermade by KonanLouis which destroys all missiles and bombs (including your own) around you, lasting for a moderate duration. It is important that while it is active, your missiles, guns, and special weapons (including Helios Marker and Satellite Missile) will fail on use.
(See Videos for demonstration)
INSTALLATION
Download the mod archive file from Nexus
Unzip the file contents
Place the files you want to install to your game's ~mods/ folder
You can choose which weapon(s) you want to have. See the included Readme for details.
Latest version allows you to apply the swap to only skin slots of your choosing using the skin selector files (or to all skins with the All Skins file). The selected skin slot will then be incompatible with other ADF-11F weapon swap mods. Keep in mind that ammo count is shared across skin slots.
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !! In hangar, the weapon will show their default name and model (except QAAM which will use F-14D's LAAM model), but the change will apply in-game, if installed correctly.
