Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's P-51 Mustang
Designed with a missile to destroy the Ice Base's defences, this is pretty much a one way ticket into the Ice Base, using the realiable P-51 to fly in, and if you aim the missile right and don't crash the P-51 into the VTOL or crash into the base, it's very easy to fly in with the missiles disabled.
Activation group 1: activate VTOL and detach the missile(throttle to 100% for missile launch, for hitting the base, it's recommended to reduce the throttle as far as possible). Deactivate before flying the P-51
Activation group 2: discard the VTOL engine and the detacher used to launch the controlled missile
Activation group 3: Activate the P-51's engine

@Wildblueyonder578 I am on a Ipad and I found it too, and the Ice Base too...
An ice base?!? I'm getting me a computer now.
Well you don't actually need ~300, I'd expect 24 to already be extensive overkill. The Project 33 is a pretty good "drone" to be honest. Full loaded at ~9000 pounds. Add in the full missile armament... 12 Missiles... Just carry a pair... Of course, I'm sure you have/will make better but it's just an example. A bad one though...
@Oicraftian ... Your overcomplicating the problem. Sure, you could do it legitimently by loading a lot of air to ground missiles, but in practice it's pretty impractical, even on a good aircraft, unless you use a large, fast aircraft to outrun the missiles.
@NovaTopaz But then you will actually be within weapons range! Can't have that! lol
Anyway, you can launch a stream of ATGM's from that thing!
And you CAN'T fail. And I mean CAN'T. Apparently 4 over tasks the defenses. So... Use ~300...
@Oicraftian A boom 50 does just fine, and in fact doesn't even have to score a direct hit in order to destroy all of the base defenses. The missile is supposed to be used to destroy things... That was the original purpose(the missile itself is from the 1.3 beta repurposed for this). You don't need actual air to ground missiles to destroy all the stuff there, and TBH, air to ground can get shot down by the defenses, they won't bother to shoot this. Seriously, there is no need to over-use parts that aren't entirely necessary. A boom 50 will outdo actual missiles when it comes to actual destructive force, and this has 2 on the missile.
@NovaTopaz Well it's pretty simple really. I mean all you need is a "free" VTOL engine and a great big VTOL propelled brick covered in solid missiles.
@Oicraftian ... You do realize this is not supposed to be complicated, right? And no, the missile doesn't work as a decoy, because the base missiles target the main cockpit, which is why it's used to destroy them so the P-51(with the main cockpit) is able to fly in without a billion missiles firing at it.
Just wondering, as we're here talking about this, what about one solid rocket that you launch with ~300 missiles attached or so and send IT to lock on and annihilate the targets. It is a decoy too....
@DeezDucks Yeah but I was never able to avoid the ones they shot back at me, even in like my most maneuverable plane. :/
Oh well, I have the location now at least. Plus one for the sub/ship hanger.
@TheMajesticMrL Lol I did it with a outfitted version of my JES-91. Really you can do it in any maneuverable aircraft you just have to fire 4 missiles at each missile launcher so the Lasers can only have enough time to take down 2 before the 2 other ones hit.
This really works! Thanks for this! Tried every plane I could think of to take it on, even tried just carpet bombing it but nothing worked until I found this. Thanks a lot.
