"Attention all aircraft, launch detected from UAV, they're small drones!"

ABOUT THIS BUILD:

As the only good replica of the Weapon UAV as of writing, is darkskryll321's Weapon UAV. I wasn’t finding the curves I was looking for so I decided to make my own version, resulting in a very curvy Weapon UAV albeit bulky compared to darkskryll321's version. I think my version, has a closer resemblance to the Weapon UAV seen in Ace Combat 7, however, it's so hard to completely replicate its looks as I just can't do complex curves on SimplePlanes without any blueprint.

I made two versions of the Weapon UAV, a custom weapon and a flyable version. The Flyable Version has 79 parts consisting of wing parts, fly-by-gyro, realistic weight, and drag. The Custom Weapon Version has 62 parts and is entirely just a custom missile meaning it has no drag, weight, and wing parts. The Custom Weapon Version also can’t be recalled but it incorporates the capabilities of the Weapon UAV of Ace Combat 7 although only as a missile. Both versions have equal dimensions.


If you want to put the Custom Weapon Version in your sub-assembly and use it in your builds, it is not connected to the main controllable version so just grab the Red Part atop the Weapon UAV, it is a detacher.

P.S The Flyable version employs funky trees so beware of modifying this build or putting it on the sub-assembly!
