It would of been epic if the AC130 was flyable so I could go dam buster mode over players and shit because who doesn't love it when a jet or chopper fly's over your head at 50ft? I love it. But I don't really like transporting people, I'd rather be the one getting transported. And I've been in countless choppers where the pilot just goes Kamikaze and there's very little to no communications between people who play online, so it'd be annoying with some dude just flying about randomly and the gunners not being able to blow shit up!


I agree and disagree with the AC130 not being flyable!

Making the AC-130 un-flyable is analogous to removing commander mode from BF3.

This itself makes premium worth it. Common, who wouldnt pay $15 for this, and there's still another 3 maps for this pack to be announced!

I uselly fly them on firestorm, landing on the roof of objectives my team just can't get to. I rarely get people who understand what I'm doing but if I play with some players I have met up we can lock down that flag pretty quick.

Transport chopper is vital on Caspian Rush for example, if used properly. I really want to use the artillery and the tanks destroyers, I'm more comfortable driving a ground vehicle with a BFW on top of it

The more I think about it, the AC-130 on rails is gonna create one hell of a stable platform for the gunners. Being on a set flight plan is going to remove most of the major variables from the firing solution like altitude, attitude, and forward airspeed. It shouldn't take long to master at all with all these variables removed. As long as this thing is loitering on station, look out tankers.......something wicked this way comes. :O

Oh.........

And if they make a "AC-130 Specter Master" dogtag......

Im going for it! Muhuhahahaha!

You know what, haven´t thought about that.....so i surely hope they vary the route of the AC-130. How will they do that?....don´t ask me! lol

what you all missing about the ac130 on rails is the fact that if someone could fly it all itd be is a big plane flying around and the gunners wouldnt be able to utilize properly

I'm very happy just one thing.....make the AC-130 DRIVABLE its way too vurvable if yu keep going in a circle

In reality the commander of the ship keeps circling around the target using a HUD mounted on the port side of the cockpit.

Stop being such control freaks.

If this was done there would be problems. We would need a massive runway and what's to stop trolls using it as a big bomb?

Anyone else noticed in the video, the guys running as engineer with SMAW's, but has what looks like the M39 EMR from the sniper kit...?

Could think of ways to do it though,It just makes the game so much easier. Nobody likes something they cnt drive

I Love the idea of a very vehicle heavy battle. I'll wait for some more info, so far it looks pretty interesting.

Very much so

I'm happy that the C-130 isn't flyable. I'm a Coloniel Rank 11 and I have not managed to get even ONE kill with a jet! Seeing other players keep their aircraft in the sky while destroying other aircraft is a borderline miracle to me. I'm quite possibly the worst BF3 pilot on Earth. Knowing that there's no way I can spike this beast into the ground makes me a very happy camper

Even though the AC-130 is non-flyable you can still shoot from its cannons and main guns right?

Did I see someone using a Mk14 EBR in that video?
