Albatross Anti Submarine Gunship

Description
A versatile and effective anti submarine asset for any fleet.

The Albatross uses Advanced Aerial AI Lua script tweaked for intercepting submarines with its dual 3x torpedo launchers. Equipped with visual cameras for initial acquisition, and sonar buoys controlled by ACB and a laser rangefinder for precise target homing. A salvo from the Albatross is absolutely devastating to most submarines and its aerial nature makes it hard to be retaliated against by its main target.

A full metal body makes it versatile enough to take quite a few hits while remaining airborne, while remaining light enough to float when downed. In addition, the missile avoidance AI makes it even harder to take down using SAM weaponry, while it usually is able to still accurately target while dodging. The Albatross stores most of its ammo in material form, to be converted into ammo when needed, for even more added survivability.

Tested and tweaked for hours to be able to consistently destroy Tadpole submarines in the designer, the Albatross will have almost a 100% hit rate against larger submarines. Could use some improvements but it is already a solid platform. The main caveat so far is I have yet to test it against deeper submersibles.
