Auto Credit Based on Tristxan's Lockheed YF-12A Blackbird

The Lockheed YF-12 was an American Mach 3+ capable, high-altitude interceptor prototype, developed and manufactured by American aerospace company Lockheed Corporation.

The interceptor was developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s as a potential replacement for the F-106 Delta Dart interceptor for the United States Air Force (USAF). The YF-12 was a twin-seat version of the then-secret single-seat Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); unlike the A-12, it was furnished with the Hughes AN/ASG-18 fire-control radar and could be armed with AIM-47 Falcon (GAR-9) air-to-air missiles. Its maiden flight was on 7 August 1963. Its existence was publicly revealed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on 24 February 1964; this move was to provide plausible deniability for the CIA-operated A-12 fleet, which closely resembled the prototype YF-12.

(missile operation is complex but will be simplified with future updates) [credit for the missile and vizzy goes to @York, thanks again fam]
1. switch to the weapons officer
2. AG 10 to enable the missile view
3. activate AG 1 to select a target via radar
4. AG 5 + AG 6 control the missile bays
5. AG 3 to select missile
6. AG 2 to launch

(still WIP)
