Uploaded Version 1.4 which adds a FOMOD installer and the new optional File: Vertibird Explosive Miniguns that adds Explosive bullets to their miniguns like the legendary items have.
Version 1.5 fixes a missing keyword for Explosive Vertibird Minigun option and adds a custom effect that decreases the radius of the explosion and makes the projectile impact look better.
Wanted to thank you so much for this mod - of all the FO4 mods I've tried so far, this one I feel has most subtly improved the game from vanilla. Even if the player doesn't ally with BOS, their presence in the skies over hostiles should have and now is, far more dramatic. And if they are coming for you? Better be careful just like you would a real fire support vehicle.
Default is 15 but the damage default on the Minigun itself is 25. So I settled for lowering the Minigun to 15. It's still way stronger than regular due to how Explosive works so IDK, I may lower it more.
Default minigun is 8 damage, right? 15 base + 15 explosive sounds pretty good. 25 base damage + 15 explosive sounds OP. I wouldn't lower the base minigun damage lower than 10 though, since anything lower would effectively be a damage nerf (numbers wise, at least). It feels really fun right now though. Definitely better than the worthless damage the Vertibird minigun does unmodded.
That is interesting indeed. Essentially, I'd like to see a REASON to use a Vertibird as a viable assault option (not unlike Artillery) even when a player owns an Explosive Minigun legendary weapon. As such, I think this mod should always have the player minigun on Vertibirds be stronger than an Explosive Minigun. As an aside, do NPCs get Explosive on their Vertibird minigun?
Durable Vertibird 1.61 uninstalled, no access to savegame
Have the MOD installed, unfortunately, there were some problems in the game (no serious). So uninstalled MOD, then the old scores could not be loaded. The menu was then only to select "New Game" what a crap.

Afternoon all. I really dig this mod and have used it before. Tried re-installing it but now it didnt work for some reason. Im also running Endless War which might have something to do with it not working. If anybody has any ideas about this then that would be great.
While I was adding more Vertibirds to to make them scale in level up to 110 I noticed that the Leveled NPC record for them has the flag "Calculate from all levels <= player's level" set, which means the it picks one random version that is at or below the players level. So you will still see level 20 Vertibirds when you are lvl 100+
If you use the Deadly version with the no-leveled plugin it removes the earlier spawns, solving this issue. However, you'll need to make sure you don't have another mod lower in load order reverting (re-adding) them back.
For anyone using Robco Patcher, if you want to just increase HP you can do it pretty easily with one INI in npc folder:
filterByRaces=Fallout4.esm|0D77E3:keywordsToAdd=Fallout4.esm|248D2D:changeAVIFS=Fallout4.esm|0002D4=2000 Sets HP of all Vertibirds to 2000 and adds NoCripple keyword to avoid problems with Kneecapper legendary effect.
Thanks! Any chance you could give a health edit for the pilots without nocripple? First time I've ever touched an ini so I'm a lil stumped on what any of that means except for the health value. x.x
Mod, as it is now, will produce a bunch of xEdit errors and prevent bashed patch creation. Steps to fix are a simple resave in CK and ITM cleanup. Fixed versions are on my Fixes page.

PS thank you for making this mod. It has made my enjoyment of the Vertibird Grenade so much more.
