Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod brings alternative to CFA-44's special weapons, turning them into mini-superweapons.
  • ADMM can be changed to High-Explosive Burst Missile Barrage Launcher.
    These missiles have longer range, significantly improved homing and proportional guidance, and wide-area lingering AoE on impact, but will have difficulty hitting its target when fired at high speeds or low altitude.
  • EML can be changed to Explosive Shotgun EML
    Both EMLs fire simultaneously, launching 8 slugs in a cone dealing heavy damage in a moderate area. This improves its Air-to-Ground capability, but negatively impacts its capability to hit small aerial targets from range.
  • IEWS can be changed to Nimbus Barrage Designator. [Air-to-Air only]
    Designates one target for a barrage of missile fire from afar, inflicting damage on and around the target. The barrage will persist for a moderate amount of time or until the main target is destroyed. 
  • Droptank Trigger (hold weapon switch button while on relatively level flight orientation) activates IEWS similar to CFA-44's base IEWS, or can be changed to a Stronger ESM that has wider area and stronger missile-buffing capability.

(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 CFA-44 weapon swap mods. (MegalithAce's UAV-45 Malebolge, Naruto 607's UAV-45 Overhaul, Naruto 607's SPW Swap and Vismod Collection CFA-44 Module, MegalithAce's MachStorm Loadout, my CFA-44 -ACES- Stat Modification). Keep in mind that ammo count is shared across skin slots.

!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
In hangar, the weapon will show their default name and model, but the change will apply in-game, if installed correctly.
