This version it is not working so well.
I recommend waiting the next version.
So, I decided to build another weapon. XD
This time it's the Weapon UAV, from Ace Combat 7. Here is an explanation from Acepedia about this drone:
What is it:
The Weapon UAV is a minor UCAV designed to support the ADF-11F Raven. It debuted in the main campaign of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown as one of the Ravens' weapons used during the final mission, "Dark Blue".
It has a single-engine, small-wing design bears striking similarity to the X-45. Where the Weapon UAV differs is in armament: it carries a single Tactical Laser System that can penetrate armor, as well as an internal, high-rate-of-fire Pulse Laser unit.
Unfortunately, while I was building it, I couldn't do it as fast as the original. Because if I increased its speed too much, he would start to spin and sometimes it could explode. So, if anyone knows the solution to this problem, let them know in the comments. :)
Instructions:
1- Disconnect without removing the cockpit, the small piece next to the UAV, then make a sub-assembly. This piece has the function of if you remove the enemy's lock, you can lock the target on the enemy again so that the UAV works again. You can use the weapon named "Re-lock" to use it. (But don't fire it)
2- Disconnect the UAV from the cockpit and make a sub-assembly.
3- Connect the "Re-lock" piece on your plane and after that, equip the Weapon UAV.
4- Already flying with the plane, press AG1 to activate the UAV, and then lock the UAV on a target and launch the missile. It can be used for either air-to-air, or air-to-ground attacks.
That's it!
Commands:
AG1 = Activates the Weapon UAV and the PLSL.
AG2 = Flies upwards (in case you are about to hit something or hit the target directly with the UAV fuselage :T ).
AG3 = Enable TLS (Tactical Laser System).
FireGuns = Fire PLSL.
VTOL = Controls the laser up and down.
Yaw = Controls the laser left and right.
Oh, I wanted to thank @Aeromen for giving me some tips that were very useful when I was building this drone, thanks! :D
Anyway, I hope you like it! Any problem you find in the UAV, just say here in the comments, which I will probably fix in future versions. :)

I am going to put this on an ADF-11F
eheb
it's been two and a half years and we haven't seen any updates for this magnificent work
I gave up on trying to fix the weapon myself
When is the next version going to be out
Ho? It Seams you already Made One.... :3
But No Offence, but Its Not Working Very Good...
😐 😐😐
Hmm ... strange, it will only spin in circles for me if I put more momentum on the missile. But maybe it rotates constantly and I didn't notice. I think the problem is the drag like you said. I didn't set as a value of "0", just the mass. I will correct this in the next version, thanks for the review :) (And sorry for my english, it's not so good :/ )
@RAgames The main problem is it goes in circles and doesn’t track after release. It’s probably because the body doesn’t have mass and drag disabled, so it confuses the missile itself.
@Thelegitpilot13 Oh... but I made it XD. You have to activate the UAV in the plane and lauch it like a missile, then press "FireGuns" to fire the PLSL. Oh, and you can press AG3 to activate the TLS too. :T
@Thelegitpilot13
I've also had success with that concept.
Well, you could make them work on planes by making a custom missile with guns. That at least worked for my SLUAVs on the Alicorn
@Thelegitpilot13 Thanks! :) I really tried to make it work better, but I couldn't, sorry about that. :/
I remember when my squadron fought against these little birds 50 km southwest of Inkopolis. That day the sky was blue as the ocean, winds of 7 km/h and it was a bit cold for a sunny day. The young woomies were playing turf war as usual, the adults taking care of the city and the older were at Inkopolis Club. We were on the Valairs Air Base, at east of the Inkopolis Plaza. Suddenly, the radars started to bip uncontrollably. Three ravens were spotted. We were scrambled and i was flying a modified raven (link here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/8aN7G3/ADF-11X-Raven-Col-Ink-Joestar). The three ravens launched six drones before retreating. That was a hell of a fight. The sky was filled with engine trails. They were carrying H2O2 bombs. (This bomb launched highly pressurized ice javelins which dissolved on contact. For the humans it would wound only, but it's fatal for the woomies). About 60%of the missiles that we launched missed the target. Only our guns were capable of destroying the drone. I used a laser beam and boom, 2 droned were shot down. But, the rest was going to the city. We picked 3 of them but one was near the place that the kids play turf war. The flak shrapnel destroyed the last one. That was a hell of a fight. After that, 2 of our pilots landed and i and my buddy Lour were chasing the ravens. Lour destroyed one and i destroyed the other. Mission complete, it was time to go home.
Very cool! I wish it worked a bit better, but still very cool nonetheless!
