EDS "Nightmare" Micromissile Pods
A non-aircraft build?!?!?!?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The Nightmare Micromissile Pod System
An advanced missile launch system first used on the Reprisal, the Nightmare MMS uses advanced fire and forget missiles coupled with a powerful radar system.
The first generation of the Nightmare MMS used on the Reprisal was found to be unreliable, so changes to the missiles were made. They were lightened and their aerodynamics are greatly improved, making them faster and more agile. These missiles were mounted internally, and they had their own dedicated radar system, making them very effective.
Eleu Defense Systems experimented on making a missile pod for the Nightmare MMS, and this was the result. The first Nightmare missile pod used the aircraft's onboard radar systems and it contained 18 missiles per pod. It was compatible with just about any fighter jet currently available, but the lack of a dedicated tracking system for the missiles reduced their effectiveness. This was the Mk. I version.
Modifications to the pod were made. A compact tracking system was fitted on top of the pod and a retractable antenna at the pod's bottom. This improved the range and lock acquisition speed of the missiles, at the cost of size and weight. As a result, the Mk. II version was usually mounted on bigger aircraft that had enough ground clearance.
The Nightmare micromissile pods were continued to be used by numerous air forces around the world. Some of them were even modified to attach to anti-aircraft vehicles and tanks.
some additional info

Max targeting angle: 270°
Part count: 57
Nightmare Micromissile pod Mk. II
Lock time: 0.5 seconds
Max range: 10000 meters

*both have a launch delay of 0.05 seconds and 18 missiles
*missiles have a max speed of about 1350 m/s
*missiles are xml modded interceptors
Controls/Instructions
AG1- open pod and activate missiles
Landing gear- extend antenna (Mk. II version only)
- grab the pod by the pylon, put it in your subassemblies, then put it in your desired aircraft. Easy, right? Just make sure that your plane has enough ground clearance!
- assign an activation group to the pylon if you want it to be droppable.
- works surprisingly well as an airbrake when activated
*cockpit is under the designer circle thingy btw
*both pods are mirror friendly, just reattach the pylon of the mirrored one.

@Razor3278 XD mkay np, thanks anyway =)
@Gravity oh, so you're making a nose art of some sort...
I suck at that, sorry. Wonder how I ended up in that forum post you're talking about lol
EDIT: nvm, i found the forum post
@Razor3278 mkay, just wondering, cause I'm making a bomber atm, and I keep messing up the little insignia (like Picadilly Lilly, Kansas City Kitty) etc. I was wondering if u could help, because u were tagged on a form post as being good at detailing XD
@Gravity er...kind of? I'm not exactly good, but not that bad either... I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle.
are you good at lettering by any chance? Or logos on planes?
@XjayIndustrys sorry, i make better 109 next time! dont worry! /s
This bf-109 is very disappointing, bf-109s has no missiles and I doubt this one even has landing gear, also bf-109s were propeller aircraft, this plane looks more like a flying sausage then a flying pizza
1/10 for originality
Jk I don’t know how many people know about this joke
@Razor3278
Np, these are really cool, I might add them to my ordnance rack for my QF-65.
Np! @Razor3278
@ACEPILOT109 @Sgtk thanks!
@JohnnyBoythePilot thanks!
@Texasfam04 thanks!
@ThomasRoderick thanks!
@Ylem @Aussiebogan3 thanks for using my product!
Hey Razor3278 I used the rocket pods in my latest design please check it out
So i used it in my newest build... a powerful weapon
@Razor3278 welcome
@AviownCorp thanks!
@XjayIndustrys hotto dogu
