WMI Peregrine Dive Bomber Mk 1

This ship is 100% Vanilla, Rotor Free, and Survival Ready!

I HIGHLY recommend that you use my Camera Mod with this! (Not required)

• Mass: 105 382 kg (full combat load)
  
• Powerplant: 38.92 MW
  
• Gyroscopes: 6 (+1 per JDAM)
  
• Armament: 2 Gatling Guns | 1 Gatling Turret | 4 JDAM Bombs

The Peregrine Dive Bomber is WMI's answer to fortified locations!

She is built with one goal in mind: deliver Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) onto target.
The Peregrine can carry 4 of these semi-guided munitions. Each JDAM will remember where the camera was pointed when the bomb is released and then home in on that vector. This means that once you drop the bomb, you can pull up and bug out and it will find its way to the target!

Built in is a safety mechanism that will not allow you to fire the JDAMs if your nose is over the horizon line. This is due to the fact that the projectile uses no forward propulsion of its own and instead uses gravity and side dampeners to make a "controlled fall." This particular JDAM is a purely kinetic projectile as it is designed to pierce point defence and enemy fortifications!

• I HIGHLY recommend that you use my Camera Mod with this! The default camera overlay is poo
  
• The Peregrine is primarily designed for an anti-installation role. However, given some training you can hit large mobile targets with ease! Carriers beware >:)
  
• For best accuracy, aim with the targeting camera
  
• The JDAM bombs have NO forward propulsion. They instead use gravity to accelerate themselves. As such, you must release the bombs at a downwards angle.
  
• You can release the bombs from stationary or at speed. Releasing from speed is the best way to ensure that the bombs hit the target at max speed
  
• Steeper dive angles yield faster bomb acceleration. Also it is harder for turrets to deter a JDAM falling near vertical
  
• Bank into your turns to utilize the strong ventral thrusters for better maneuvering

Thanks to Marcelo for the bomb design that I based my JDAMs off of :)
