Tannethal Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 At least one should be able to see what he's throwing lead at... Paskos AC-130A in surprise package config with some ini tweaks. If only the Bofors would give me a bit more bang for the buck, it's damn hard to hit something directly. S! Quote
Tannethal Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Changed the guns to Bofors and Vulcans per Spec of Surprise package. Grouped them so its with gungroup selection and pri/sec trigger possible to fire guns individually. Still trying to figure out how to boresight the guns to the crosshair. Added the values of the Stock C130A to the wheels section as it tended to strip of its legs to readily. S! Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Spectres deserver respect! Is that some seriously cool tweak work to the YAP AC-130, or one you've conjured up from an existing C-130? The YAP one I can't seem to hit a blasted thing with. That gunsite would help immensely, I would imagine. I like the inset of the target in the upper right, like a Maverick. Very nice! Quote
Tannethal Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) It's based upon the AC-130A MOD by Pasko, so it's not YAP. But didn't YAP do something similar with a "Target CAM" too? The gunsight is part of Paskos cockpit and quite functional, got the Vulcans to be spot on now, still tweaking the Bofors. It's surprise package configuration, so it has two Vulcans and two Bofors. Information is ba bit unclear on whether the forward miniguns (7.62mm) have been removed from all AC-130A or if some retained them when the aft vulcans were replaced with the Bofors. The aft miniguns from the first Gunships were definately removed when the Bofors were installed. However USAF publications indicate that suprise package didn't include the 7.62mm forward minigun pair. YAP Bird is different and based on DELs excellent C-130E. It represents the heavier one with 2 Vulcans, one Bofors and M101 105mm howitzer. From screenshoots I would think YAP keept the forward minigus too. Still wondering how YAP got the AI plane to actually attack and hit anything, Paskos right now dives headlong towards an assigned target while happily spraying bullets sideways. S!

+Spectre_USA Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ditto the YAP bird. It is solo only, and I've used it on the range only. In a campaign, you could add some low speed escorts, I suppose, but none come to mind off the top... Quote

+ST0RM Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Ditto the YAP bird. It is solo only, and I've used it on the range only. In a campaign, you could add some low speed escorts, I suppose, but none come to mind off the top... Depending on the timeframe, you could use several aircraft. The 16th SOS was assigned to the 8th TFW. F-4D were sometimes used as nighttime escorts. For a truly low-speed escort, the A-1E/H Skyraiders would work well. Back in the mid 90's, AFSOC was testing out the A-10 as a Spec Ops escort. They wanted to purchase some of their own and use them in conjunction with the Talons, Spectre/Spooky and helos.
