- Revised missile design for better accuracy.
- Revised drone launcher for more consistent drone flight path.
- Removed second target drone in the interest of performance on slower devices, and because they kept crashing into each other.
- Fiddled with CoM/CoL/CoT of drone and fighter for more level flight.
- Adjusted control surfaces for better maneuverability.

All of that has had the result of making the mission much easier. Though I still can't get rid of the weird right yaw on takeoff, so use a bit of left rudder to correct.

Just like the last one, the landing gear can't come up until the drone is in the air. If you don't want to launch the drone at all, it can be disabled on the runway by retracting your landing gear once the fighter is in the air.

Detacher 1 launches left missile, Detacher 2 launches right missile. Detacher 3 releases the target drone from its holder. Make sure you hold the throttle at 100% to keep the drone in the air.
