After reading about aerial-launched Arrow IVs and the possibility of launching Homing missiles from one aerospace hex away (within the ground mapsheet range of the missile), I decided to create a modified version of the design I made in this thread incorporating Arrow IVs.
I am not too sure of the construction rules for Arrow IV on Aerospace units (I don't have Strategic Ops or TechManual  the only thing I have is Vehicle Factory) so correct me if anything is glaringly impossible.
Code:
Stuka STU-DART (~3062)
100 tons IS Advanced
Movement: 5/8
Engine: 300 XL
Heat Sinks: 15 [30]
Fuel: 10t
Structural Integrity: 10
Armor: 349 (Ferro-Aluminum)
NOS: 80
COC: 19
LWG: 80
RWG: 80
FUS: 50
ENG: 50
TAG [NOS] 0 Heat
ERPPC [RWG] 15 Heat
Arrow IV Launcher [RWG] 10 Heat
ERPPC [LWG] 15 Heat
Arrow IV Launcher [LWG] 10 Heat
Arrow IV Homing Ammo (20) [RWG]
Arrow IV Homing Ammo (20) [LWG]
BV: ??? Cost: ??? Cbills
What this design would do is be on call for artillery/ground support. Once a target is spotted, this would swoop in firing Arrow IVs the turn before it reaches the desired map, and then would fire ERPPCs and TAG if necessary during the pass over the map.
So if this design is allowable, it will replace my unit's Arrow IV Longbow.

Let's see, first off Vehicle Factory uses older rule set, that is no longer official for the game, so your really need to either get a copy of Aerotech 2 Revised or the other two Core rule books you say you are missing.
OR better still BUY the Heavy Metal Programs and you will have the up to date rule set to make the mechs and vehicles and aerospace units...The Drawing Board and the Vehicle Factory are out of date and have other errors like not rounding armor correctly even for the rule set they are using. You should invest in the HM products.

Yeah, there just isn't any up to date software for creating aerospace fighters, so if I did buy anything, it would be HMAero since my unit doesn't employ ground vehicles.
At any rate, I will assume it's possible because it doesn't make sense otherwise. This frees me up to have 3 more of my heavy mechs while doubling my artillery output and streamlining my unit's structure all in one go.

Okay, I confirmed it. TacOps lists the availability for Arrow IV artillery, and it clearly states it's available for Aerospace Fighters (as well as other units).
'Tis done, and has officially become my artillery/ground support ASF.

Great, now how about building it with the current rule set for aerospace fighters, aka the ones from the core rule books or at least from AT2 Revised...using the old Aerotech rules from the box set makes the fighter non-valid for those who may want to use it in battles out side of their own group etc...

Hold your horses man. I'm not at that stage yet. Gotta wait for the thing in the mail.
