Re: Shaggy gets the horn
Good shit that.
Shows how useful the cat can be, up high looking out for aerial threats while lasing for low running hit and run F18's with mavs. No need for the F18 to hang around lasing once the package is deployed.
I like it.

I don't know if the altitude limitation is modelled in game, but its apparently 23000ft max as above that the sensor sparks and burns out. I know it has been used above that altitude in game before now, but it may be something that works for a short period.
As for slant range, I think its around 9 miles, but I'll check that and confirm.
Edit: Okay, the altitude thing doesn't appear to be modelled so you should be good up to 40,000ft, but the slant range is confirmed as 9nm max.
