AIM-174B

Need to reach out and touch someone? The AIM-174B "AT&T" will help you murder Russian strategic bomber pilots from 175 miles away. Little is known about this missile and its capabilities, so creative freedoms have been taken until more information is known. The "AT&T" nickname is purely for comic relief, as I cannot find any nickname given to this missile yet.

Missile Info here:

AIM-9X

Latest Sidewinder

AIM-120D

Better AIM-120

Known Issues:

-None

This mod has transformed in scope from a simple mod of adding one loadout and a missile to a total overhaul and fix of the F/A-18 mod. I haven’t had much time to play test for balance or bugs, but please post a comment if you find any issues.

Troubleshooting

-Doesn’t work? Place this mod above the F/A-18 Hornet mod in your load order. If you still have issues place it as high on the list as the game will allow. If the mod does not work you likely have a mod conflict

-This doesn’t work with xyz mod. If you run a lot of mods you’ll have to become proficient at making your own patches to combine files from the mods you run to make everything function as intended. As a mod author I cannot include a near infinite number of combinations of compatibility patches to work with your specific collection of mods. Combining .inis to make your mods work together is not difficult, you just need to spend some time learning.
