Description
The Damocles is an airborne carrier designed to loiter for extended periods without support.
It’s main accompaniment is the Q-66 Sword Drone capable of Air-to-Air combat and ground attack. In the Air-to-Air role, the drone functions as an autonomous fighter jet, while the
Air-to-Ground mode has the drone performing a kamikaze attack with its onboard warhead.
–
I had designed this around my previous attempts at creating a small, cheap (in-game) and disposable drone that could intercept both ground and air units. Per unit cost of each drone is about 7000 while a BDarmory AMRAAM 120 was about 2000. But unlike an AMRAAM the drone could loiter and engage enemy planes as well as attack ground units if required.
–
The carrier itself is slow when fully loaded with drones (about 52) going only about 135 m/s. Unloaded it can go 250+ m/s. Maximum altitude is about 8000m
The drone fighters can reach about 320 m/s with an effective ceiling of about 8000m and a maximum ceiling of 10000m.
–
If your game has issues with such a large part count, feel free to remove some of the drones, they aren’t all necessary but I felt that adding the carrier’s entire complement of fighters a better representation of its capabilities.
