Modern AC-130s ditched the 40mm guns and replaced them with the Gau23a Bushmaster 30mm, same gun (mostly) used on some naval ships and AFVs. The Vulcans were swapped out for the Gau-12 25mm gatling guns at some point
@scarface94783 ай бұрын
Yeah the main reason was that nobody makes 40mm ammo anymore, but as you said there’s plenty of 30mm.

This was a lot of fun! Obviously not your normal style, but I'd definitely be down to watch more videos of random games that you found interesting even if they aren't military aviation related. 2:07 I'm late to the party so I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but in case not. "Indie game" refers to a game created by an independent developer team rather than a large game studio, which would be referred to as a "Triple A" game. It usually denotes a small team of just a few people who have not made very many, if any games before; but the term can be used to describe larger studios who develop and publish their own games independently rather than going through a third party publishing company to get their work out into the world. Edit: You've got me curious what nationality you are. You speak English very well, but it doesn't seem to be your first language and I don't recognize your accent.

Indie game was originally independent games, games that didn’t have the backing of a large publisher. But these games it’s more or less everything that isn’t a big studio AAA game.

The gunship platform is an amazing concept from the AC-47 Spooky, the AC-119 Stinger, and the AC-130s (in all its variations). I would like to see them make an "AC-27 Spartan Sword". A modern variation of the original AC-47 as a "pocket gunship."
@Space-ei8lv2 ай бұрын
In 1966 ac47 were testing and trying to use both starlight and flir to assist targeting. Most results were considered a failed test, and some were pleased with the results tho. In 1967 the ac130 was brought in and it had been successfully tested with nod and infrared targeting systems. Sooo if this game is depicting the ac130, yes. They had infrared. Before these tools were used, ac47 was still very successful at nailing targets simply by tossing giant flare out the open cargo door.

People do weird things when they are in shock, but yeah, half the town wandering aimlessly amid combatants who are clearly under air attack is stretching my disbelief a bit 😂 It looked like some missions have better AI behavior along with the building destruction. In that last mission the enemies were running for cover as soon as the bombardment started, but in the first two they just causally continued walking even as rounds started raining down around/on them.
@bitmanagent673 ай бұрын
Yes, the one in COD was better. Yes, ED needs to make this a feature priority ASAP. They already have the ground model for the A-10. Just need to add more destruction modeling, ragdoll and maiming for personnel, and some aircraft modeling.

@Mikethemerciless113 ай бұрын
What they had back in Vietnam was not Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR), but low-light scopes, that you used in conjunction with infrared light. Combined, the infrared light basically lights up everything it's pointing at, so long as you're using the night-vision scope. FLIR is different. FLIR sees the infrared radiation coming off of things, creating the image off of that. Both are cameras in the sense that they both take ambient light and create and image with that, but FLIR requires something to cool the sensitive part so that the infrared shows up (called a Cooler Dewer, I think). Military FLIR, like you see on the Apache, have more or less a black/white style of imagery, whereas there are civilian, and some other military models (I saw one that the Navy was playing with), that have a colorized version, like you see in the movie Predator. You might think it's better to have the colorized version, but not really, not when you're dealing with weapon systems like the AC-130 Spectre or the AH-64 Apache.
