OVERVIEW
XFA-27 -KS01- Loadout: XFA-27 with 4-MSL, 6-Target Homing EML, ADMM in weapon pods, always-active range-enhancing IEWS, and one-time 2-Wingman UAVs with improved stats
Commissioned by KazumiSaotome
DETAILS
This mod swaps XFA-27's loadout to a custom one - 4 standard missiles, 6-target homing EMLs, ADMMs enclosed in weapon pods, always-active range-enhancing IEWS, and adds a pair of Wingman UAVs that can be spawned once with droptank-trigger (hold weapon switch button). The drones can be given command to attack a specific target with their long-range missiles, or to form up with the player. Can be applied to skin slot(s) of your choice, including slots provided by Additional Skin Slots mod.
FEATURES
Custom Loadout: 4MSL. Adds an extra pair of standard missiles, loading up to 4 at a time. Compatible with AIM-9X mod.
Custom Loadout: 6-Target Homing EML replacing SOD. In place of SOD, 3 EML units are mounted - 2 under the missile pylons and 1 under the belly, each unit able to fire up to 2 shells at once. These EMLs can lock on to up to 6 enemies within 6000m.
Custom Loadout: ADMM in Weapon Pods replacing MSTM. As MSTM replacement, 2 ADMM pods enclosed in stealth weapon pods are mounted under the missile pylons. Stats are identical to the ones on CFA-44 Nosferatu. (Featured in screenshot: ADMM Type-Ace6 VisMod by Dantofu)
Always-active range-enhancing IEWS and Pair of Wingman UAVs. The loadout adds an IEWS module that is always active during combat, greatly increasing lock-on range. In addition, a pair of wingman UAVs spawnable once is added. These UAVs can be ordered using Multiplayer Radio Button Down to follow the player (Defend/Support order), or using Multiplayer Radio Button Up to attack currently selected target with long range missiles (Attack order).
Enhanced plane capabilities. This custom loadout features enhanced capabilities - increased speed and mobility, capable of performing PSM at any speed below 3000km/h, and lower stall speed.

FURTHER NOTES & KNOWN ISSUES
- Not compatible with weapon swap mods for XFA-27 in the same slot
- Always-active IEWS also gets activated during takeoff phases that are integrated with the mission (Mission 1, Mission 5) and return line
weapon switch sequence. - The UAVs can be spawned once per mission . Once used, it cannot be replenished by return line or phase change. Using return line also despawns the UAVs. Restarting from checkpoint allows them to be respawned (with droptank-trigger).
- On their death or mission phase change, the UAVs leave behind their friendly target box
- The UAVs cannot be targeted or shot down by normal enemy fire, but can be shot down by CIWS or missile-intercepting lasers
- The UAVs' speed may cause their missiles to miss or flight pattern to be
erratic. Flying low while the UAV has not slowed down may also risk the UAV crashing. - When scrolling up/down using up/down button of controller to select Special
Weapon during return line session, drone command SFX will play (if those buttons are used for MP radio button up/down as well).- If this is done before deploying the drone, it will disable drone deployment
- If this is done before deploying the drone, it will disable drone deployment
