We got the 117 so it’s not that far fetched. When do you guy’s think we’ll get one?

Maybe a combo update focusing on Prowlers EW and the 130?

Are there any other planes yall think would be a cool addition even without them being good?

I hope as a lower battle rating assault vehicle, free for use only costing few more spawn point, just like attack drones. As the earliest models of the AC 130 is poorly armed against other planes, it will be a very niche addition to air battles and pretty much useless too.

I’d kill for an Avro Vulcan

It would be even more useless than the F-117, like, it’d have to be like 3.0 in air RB and 6.7 in grb… zero point in adding and would only prove to be an eyesore for low BRs

Would be dumb because it would be fighting ww2 vehicles in both air and ground. Would just be a forever annoying eyesore

as fun as it would be, the AC130 is much more designed to take out infantry than tanks
it doesnt have the arms to do much besides make APCs nonexistant, and even then whats stopping people from shooting the giant, slow brick in the sky with sabot from a million miles away

that’s funny, 'cos that’s what will mostly be happening to it if it ever comes.

In fact they have said they are looking at strategic bombers, but possibly with an entirely separate game mode just for them - 'cos they would be less than useless in the game right now.

AC130 is quite impossible, because it won’t fit in any br

I want the Victor, Vulcan overrated.

Wasn’t even too useful, harriers did most of the work credited to Vulcan in the public eye 😿

Sadly theres so many anti air that’s able to swat it out the sky before you can do anything. Any 2s38, 152 proxy fuse shells. Stella osa Gepard’s zsu leopard. Can’t be more than 2 km away so you just dead

It would serve no practical purpose in this game.

Depends on the model.
But tbf tho, We have bombers with no offensive or defensive armament so it still has more propose in general.

Not a good comparison.

Would be awesome to see, but no other nation will have an equivalent vehicle. US is the only one who has this kind of aircraft at the moment. If anything they can treat it like drones do, but still won’t make sense for every nation to use a AC130 gunship.

I did read China, Russia and Japan planned on converting some planes into a similar kind but no real progress was made.

Best to leave this plane for User Made Missions.

What I personally do is use the G8N1 or G5N1 Japanese Bombers like an AC130. Switch the control from Mouse Aim to full-real control, making my plane go in circles while switching to gunners to shoot at light/open top vehicles with the 20mm cannons. Not really successful but it does look really cool.
