Default Re: USMC Drones

The USMC Unit Class#125 drones are -
#254 RQ2 Pioneer (available 1986)
#259 RQ11 Raven (available 1990)
#288 Skyraider (available 2016)

None of the above are state-of-the-art higher-end drones but rather what was available at the time cheap mass-use ones. Thus the lower EW ratings, and zero was seriously considered BUT their size and lack of significant radar/thermal signature make them pretty difficult for radar/thermal guided AA weapons to acquire, thus they have a low EW rating to represent this.

And as you point out their their EW rating is represented as CIWS/VIRSS. This is a game code "oops" that seems to have snuck in, and MOBHACK/Andy will have to address that (tho their EW rating could easily be changed to 5 to bypass the issue).

Thank you VERY much for pointing this out tho!
