===== OVERVIEW =====
This mod brings alternative to ADFX-01's weaponries.
- TLS can be changed to Multihoming TLS - 5500m range, up to 4 locks, stackable, high tick rate and damage, locking requires target to be in guidance circle.
- MPBM can be changed to Volatile MPBM - Causes explosion along its flight path, but has unstable flight pattern.
- IEWS can be changed to Rear Protection ECM - Protects the aircraft from the rear against missiles and guns (not 100% guaranteed). Front side is still vulnerable, and flying fast risks your own weapons failing.
Additionally, droptank trigger (hold weapon switch button while at relatively level flight) activates IEWS similar to the default 3rd SP Weapon. As alternative, this mod includes option to use Helios Mine - drops a small projectile that remains in place for 5 seconds before detonating, causing damage over a small area.
(See Videos for demonstration)

KNOWN ISSUES
- Multihoming TLS beam may clip into the front parts of the plane
- Volatile MPBM has wonky flight pattern occasionally or against certain targets, notably enemies on M11 platforms and on Arsenal Bird
- Rear Protection ECM sometimes does not protect against guns or missiles.
- Flying fast while having Rear Protection ECM active may cause missiles or guns fired by the player to explode on launch. Helios Mine may also not cause damage.
