A-410 AWACS – Airborne Warning and Control System
An unarmed aircraft equipped with plenty of detection equipment, inter-vehicle transmitter equipment and an internal strategic antenna.
Designed to provide targeting info to allied forces as well as relay their information to others using both, a inter-vehicle transmitter and a wireless snooper.
The design is loosely based on a mix of the "Wedgetail" AWACS as well as the "A100" AWACS.
Also comes with an ECM Jammer and flares for defence.
Has no offensive weapons. Lots of material storage, repair bots and compact repair tentacles.
From a gameplay perspective, the idea is have the aircraft circle the enemy at 3000m and relay the targetig information to allied units, or survive long enough for reinforcements to arrive if caught alone.
Side note: I was unable to fix the constant upwards pitch. It’s likely caused by the wingblocks being mounted on spinblocks, but all I could do was keep the pitch to a minimum.
Then again, under normal circumstances, you would never see the thing anyway.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The idle thrust it set to 0%, as this plane is intended to be used in AotE and "land" (really just nosedive ’cause there is no landing AI in this game) when idle.
If you intend to use this in Neter, you need to set the idle thrust to 100%.
