nice GS 😁

[@chadjmoore]

More AC-130 Please! That was sick. I would love to see a single 20min mission supporting. This bird is death from above.

GS in a Raptor: I am the most disrespectful display of playing with my food GS in a Gunship: hold this hellfire, my dude

[@Hubba404]

I think ground-pounding in general has a corrupting influence on GS; every time he gets into an A-10 or a Spectre he starts ticking off boxes on the Geneva Checklists!

[@benn454]

It's his Canadian heritage.

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

The intrusive thoughts start winning and I’m here for it!

[@MrLilHammer]

Imagine AC-130 crew actually do this shit that'd be terrfying.

[@PhantomP63]

[@Snoopyflyingace80]

Look up gun cam footage from Apaches. There's one where it ambushes a bunch of T-ban fighters with a Hellfire and proceeds to wipe the mountainside with 30mm before circling back to finish off survivors. One of the survivors from the ambush was finished off with a direct hit from a 30mm round.

[@pale_2111]

That dude getting hit with that 155mm is the equivalent to dropping a JDAM on a portapotty.

[@barnstormer546]

They put 155mm on AC-130s now?

I remember loving the AC130 in Call of Duty. They would only let you play with it for a short period but I could have played it as a seperate game entirely. Very satisfying.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Well now you can!

[@truthseeker9454]

11:51 - GS having so much fun he's abusing his equipment: GUN MISALIGNED GUN OVERHEATED

[@Tiger1Tanker]

Gun misaligned just means the gun and camera aren't looking at the same spot. It also dosen't matter with the Hellfires.

[@xv.luc1d]

Growling when boarding the AC130 "Geneva... suggestions"

[@deadon4847]

[@LordLaberstein]

You mean the Geneva Bucketlist?

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

During war games in the Corps, I saw the AC130 demonstrated at night. Terrifying. Nothing it sees is allowed to live. Thinking about how they had to verify our friendly Marines location left a strange feeling in us. Annihilation was a trigger finger away. Glad those beasts are on our side.

[@andersjjensen]

If you're pinned down and you hear an A-10 above you, you go "Hell yeah! Here comes the ass whooping!" If you're pinned down and you hear an AC-130 above you, you go "Oh... rest in pieces, I guess..."

[@truthseeker9454]

@@andersjjensen You hear Spooky overhead and ask, "Is our IFF working?"

[@VermilionMk.1]

Very few nicknames carry the weight of reputation like "Angel of Death"

[@LongBinh70]

Funny. Just about three hours ago I was watching a "real" AC-130 video and thought to myself, "I wonder if Growling Sidewinder ever did an AC-130 video?" Refreshed my page, and there you were! But a 105 to just take out a sapper? A Hellfire for four dudes under a tree? Be careful with our tax money, Dude! Also, pay attention to the warning notes in the lower right quadrant. It was screaming at you that the minigun was overheated. Also, yeah. A Cobra's minigun, while "only" 7.62mm, strafing a football field, will put a round in every square foot. When I was in Vietnam, we used to set up lawn chairs and watch 5 Cobras work the VC on a hilltop about five miles away at night. Each Cobra was stacked at a different altitude, so if the enemy tried to duck the stream of bullets behind a rock, one of the other ships would start firing from a different direction. Oops. The tracers, every fifth round, would come so fast it appeared to be an unbroken red stream. We called it "pissin' on the enemy".

[@davidparker.2227]

Thanks for the blood you spilled. I promise I'll spill my share when the time comes.

[@yaseen157]

I've always loved the AC-130 gunplay since call of duty 4, hope I'm not dating myself too hard by saying that haha

I've loved it since playing Janes USNF 97, look that up and you'll not feel old lol.

[@branjosnow6244]

I only bought CoD4 for this mission, and the sniper mission. Online play was garbage, but the CoD single player missions were awesome.

[@brosefmalkovitch3121]

11:28 that's actually not inaccurate for infantry to survive what is more or less a direct hit with a Hellfire, I've read from Apache pilots that the Hellfire really is primarily an anti-tank missile and the missile body isn't designed to produce a lot of fragmentation, apparently the guaranteed infantry kill radius was pitifully small so it was very much for point-targets only.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Very good to know and great attention to detail from the game devs

[@WhatIsSanity]

Yes, but whatever the hellfire is blowing up largely turns into shrapnel. Even people.

[@williamwimmer5473]

@@GrowlingSidewinder don't worry, the weapon designers figured that out and fixed it. Of the 20+ hellfire variants there's several that include various kinds of HE/Frag warhead, and also at least two thermobaric versions

[@Sethdarunner]

I watched F-16s mock dogfight above my family’s house. I once stared at the AC-130s slowly fly over my house. Traumatized my family’s horses. Even my sister, who is unimpressed by any aircraft was staring in awe and those massive bird. I with I could see them again but I probably won’t happen any time soon

[@mrlt1151]

Way back in the day I was camping north of a bombing range in Florida when A-6’s? Flew over super low. I didn’t known the range even existed at that point and was afraid we were about to go full Red Dawn.

[@zilfondel]

I live under the flight path of the air national guard fighter wing, we get 2-4 F-15EXs flying over every few days throughout much of the year. They hit the afterburners when they climb away, around 1,000 or so AGL. Its awesome

[@smeghead765]

[@darylgreen7690]

To borrow a line from Apache gunners (I think), "You can run, but you'll just die tired."

[@DDayJayke]

When they marked that car, I was like "Yup, I have seen enough footage and movies to smell that IED through the screen". And yes GS, it is 15 Dollars American

[@Redbikemaster]

One of my favorite aircraft. My dad was a C-130 technician so I was already partial to them. I have a 105mm shell at my house. They're enormous.

[@sessionsw9657]

I think there was a black mirror episode about a game that people play and it is actually a live feed to robot soldiers and these gamers actually fight in a war. This has a very similar feel to it

Just this morning, a CC-130H buzzed my house at about 500ft. I thought, "No way would could they have been as low as I think." Checked FlightRadar24 and they sure were. Almost as fun as when the Chinooks buzzed my canoe.
