LAC-3C Dragonfly

A small grid scout and light attack aircraft, inspired by the Type 4 Doragon from BF2142

This is the third and most likely final iteration of the LAC-3 Dragonfly, with some improvements and changes to its systems. The LAC-3C incorporates a sort of RWR to enhance pilot situational awareness. This change was prompted by the automatons update and the proliferation of inexpensive player-made missiles, that can engage silently up to the last second. With its high maneuverability and early warning, the LAC-3C can now evade many of these new threats. This does increase empty mass and complexity, but the increased survivability is well worth it. The craft is of course survival-friendly.

Main changes:

• Added lock-on alert system, with aural and visual alerts.
  
• Added a projector for self-repairs, as suggested by YOUDIE411.
  
• Added side thrusters for better handling.
  
• Added automatic charging/discharging when docked, using an event controller.
  
• Removed parachute, as it was found to be of little use in most combat situations.

Power plant:

• 2 Large and 10 small atmospheric thrusters
  
• 2 Large batteries

Weapons:
4 hardpoints under the wings and 1 in the nose. Replace default loadout with gatlings for air-to-air combat (it will also lower total PCU to 1995).

• 3 Conveyor-fed autocannons
  
• 2 Rocket pods

Subsystems:

• RWR with aural and visual cues. It will report enemy grids locking onto the LAC-3C.
  
• Automatic Charge/Discharge of batteries when docked through the conector.
  
• Quick-repair Projector
  
• Frontal camera
  
• 3 Small cargo containers
  
• Beacon
  
• Connector
  
• 2 Gyroscopes
  
• 2 Decoys

Empty mass: 28910kg
Total PCU: 2693
Total Blocks: 450

Enjoy!
