    So you want to implement both the ac130 and few escort planes in BF2, as a replacement for the arty?
    That is a weird idea.

      Ya know... prolly about the biggest problem with implementing a spector is that you just know the noobs are gonna jump in the thing and fly away before anyone gets in the gun position.

      Then they'll complain about how much it sucks.
      :p

        I flew the gunship in DC and found it to be extremly important to position it correctly so the gunners can wipe the map with the opponets.

        A Proper Gunship will ruin some current BF2 maps but imagine having one aloft at some of the new EF maps. If they introduce this weapon, it needs 10 players to crew properly and perhaps improved air defenses beyond what is currently used. The stingers wont make much against the armor on some of these planes.

        Alot of gamers have asked for a gunship for years. Who knows? It's probably time for one.

          Truth is... we had a gunship.

          The old Blackhawk was exactly that.

          Look it what happens when gamers get what the want.

            If you can get someone to stay on its wing. The fighter pilots would just use it for target practise, much like the BH or Fat Alberts. Although I personally would like to see an aircraft or vehicle addition where you need a pilot/driver and crew to work together to make it effective. Large planes like this could be an answer.

                You got the specs a bit wrong. It is two configurations for the AC-130. It only has one 105mm in the tail.

                two M61 20mm Vulcan cannons
                with 3,000 rounds
                one L60 40mm Bofors cannon
                with 256 rounds
                one M102 105mm howitzer
                with 100 rounds

                or

                One 25mm GAU-12 Gatling gun
                (1,800 rounds per minute)
                one L60 40mm Bofors cannon
                (100 shots per minute)
                one M102 105mm cannon
                (6-10 rounds per minute)

                with both versions having:

                Countermeasures AN/AAQ-24 Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM)
                AN/AAR-44 infrared warning receiver
                AN/AAR-47 missile warning system
                AN/ALE-47 flare and chaff dispensing system
                AN/ALQ-172 Electronic Countermeasure System
                AN/ALQ-196 Jammer
                AN/ALR-69 radar warning receiver
                AN/APR-46A panoramic RF receiver
                QRC-84-02 infrared countermeasures system

                This is a good website to get info on the AC-130

                  And You think the 40 mm fires slugs? There's a lot less explosive force to a 40 mm of course than a 105, but I assure You it is more than enough to deal with most anything BF2 lets you play as.

                    Those gunships only work if there is no air opposition. J-10 would be shooting down that flying cow all day.

                      after watching that video. All i gotta say is "run and hide" B^stards run and hide and maybe death will come quickly...unless you're one of those guys who did try to run in the video, damn, you can't even move or you'll get another hit.

                      And I don't feel sorry for them in the least bit.
