Cleaver Launch Platform 3
How to use:
The two main weapon types are three ICBMs and an Inferno launcher. The ICBMs have a range of 20km, but due to their trajectory won't probably hit anything closer than 14km. To hit closer targets, use VTOL to aim the secondary missile launcher and use the Infernos (2km range).
The real fun however comes after launching the targeting drone. To do that, throttle to 100%, make sure you're either in Orbit or Chase camera, and press AG1. You can now fly the drone anywhere on the map and essentially extend the range of the ICBMs and Infernos. This allows you to unleash a missile barrage for example from Snowstone all the way to Maywar.
There are also multiple Interceptors for air defense
It's a very crude design, I was mainly focusing at the aspect of making it work. You're welcome to use the design and improve it, as long as at least some credit is given

@Potkuri There's a tiny winch with infinite range connecting the Drone to the rest of the craft
Very Cleever indeed! (Pun intended)
@DerekSP but how do you do it
Omg imma gonna find ways to use this tech because you basically invented terminal guidance in this
LOVE IT !!!
WOW... It actually works.
Perhaps I could discover more tricks and loopholes in simpleplanes
Ah, I think I solved the mystery!
@Potkuri they don't disappear here
Um, aren’t weapons supposed to disappear when they’re detached from the cockpit? Or in this case, when the cockpit is detached from the rest of the platform... cool, nevertheless.
@Randomdoggo weird, I'll check it out one I get on my PC
Very cool!
