Jagervogel is late-90s Third Reich miltirole experimental military drone. It carries 6 missiles (4 AAM & 2 ATGM), 2x13mm MGs, quad-barreled Gatling-system 20-mm autocannon and, as the main innovation, experimental high-power pulse-laser system mounted on the top of the drone. Jagervogel has high mobility, stability and incredible amount of different weapons. Autocannon has recoil simulation and spread, which allows it to quickly shoot down planes. Also, this craft has realistic weight and flight model, looks very cool but is extremely mobile friendly.
Controls:
AG 1 - Switch between MGs and autocannon
AG 2 - AAM
AG 3 - Pulse laser
AG 4 - ATGM
Trim down - Flaps (really useful on this drone)
Alternative history:
In late 80s Third Reich faced many losses during Third East Conflict. Almost half of German pilots died, and RLM ordered Henschel to design a new attack drone, which could replace old piloted attackers and reduce losses of pilots. After almost 10 years of development, first prototype took off in 1997, and mass production began in 1999. At that moment, it was the most effective attack drone in the world. It had both lots of weapon and advanced AI-based system, which could select, track and destroy up to 10 air, ground and sea targets at the same time. It was the great innovation in the combat systems.
