Basically, a toy (just-for-fun plane).
Mod represents some fictional Nazi robotic/remote controlled version of Ju-88 Mistel (non-flyable, of course).



Combat deployment:

- Air-To-Air -

Can be used for air-to-air missions as formation destroyer (both in QMB & FMB).
Once ordered (or programmed) to, drone approaches enemy aircraft and detonates (except none weapon configuration).
Charge also can be set-off by enemy fire (usially, too close, considering blast radius).

- Air-To-Ground -

Can be used for air-to-ground FMB missions as level and/or suicide bomber.
In last waypoint (if it isn't a landing point), drone searches for enemy surface targets and executes kamikaze attack.
If there is no targets, it executes area bombing in same style.
In strike zone, even if it isn't a last waypoint, but some target specified for attack, drone will also execute kamikaze attack, but only if having bomb loadout (due to game AI restrictions).
If no targets specified in strike zone and landing point is programmed in flight plan, drone will just perform area bombing with free-fall bombs or paraflares, then proceed to next waypoint or RTB.

Kamikaze capability also can be used in QMB.
If drone units is in player gruppe, player can order drones to attack ground targets. Drones will execute kamikaze attack (only if having bomb loadout). Order can't be cancelled.

Features:
- drone uses Walter RATO for take-off (except none weapon configuration) and air brakes for shortening landing run.

AI nasty feature:
- if badly damaged, angry drone will try to ram ground targets or explode in mid-air in harmful way to take some airborne enemies with self 

Loadouts:
none [just warhead]
default [Starthilfe HWK 109-500 & air-to-air capability]
28x Luftmarkierungskorpers [same as above & paraflares]
28x SC 50 [same & bombs]
28x SC 70


Mistel and some of Ju-88A-4 skins fits pretty well.

Link to download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/rvarpb2hpv8n86a/Ju-88_drone.rar

To install, unpack RAR folder into your \MODS directory.
Optionally, U can create \PaintSchemes\Skins\Ju-88_drone folder in game root directory, to copy some skins here.

To have new AC available if QMB & FMB, add following line in air.ini file:

Ju-88_drone       air.JU_88drone 2                      NOINFO  g01   SUMMER

and another line (optional) in plane_ru.properties file: Ju-88_drone          Ju-88 Robot, 1946
or something like that.

Have fun !

No. But U can take it in your gruppe and command "get him" when U wish. It's like a "smart" weapon.

I think its really cool. Great job Twister. Now to go blow something up.

A great idea, even though I found a few odd things when flying in 4.101 ... you can see in above screenshot.

Parts of the undercarriage are visible and depending on you view the engine cowling, parts disappear.

Mind you, I don't have any clue how to make a modded plane so I am in awe of those who can ... this is just a little bug I found when flying.

Am I right? It can ramm other Planes? This means we could create a "Sonderkomando Elbe"-Version of the Bf-109 to ramm Bombers... I mean as AI...

Twister great mod mate

two questions though, are you planning on making your mods compatible to the new UP when it comes out? And do you think it would be possible to get the AI to fly and deploy the original mistel combination? this has never worked only for player controlled aircraft.

thanks again

Mmm... I see it... It's not a bug, they changed something in Mistel model and my .him file does not fit to 4.101. Thx for trying.

Not exactly. It passes very close (several meters) and detonates, if enemy gunners not detonated it at greater distance.
With such warhead there is no need for direct hit, every plane in handreds meters will suffer critical damage.

It's hard, but I think it's possible through some tricks.
Is it really still not working in 4.10 ?

Any news on if you will be updating this mod, and all your mods to work with 4.101 please mate?

It won't do what I tell it to do. It flies right on past formations of bombers - I have tried every weapon combination. It won't ram ground targets.

ANY way to get it to obey the frigging orders?

[DimAurora]

Erm, speechless. I have never seen a greater mod...
