===== OVERVIEW =====


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.

- 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.
