i know that due to the relatively small size and the low visibility range of the vanilla maps that it would be pretty impractical to have a large troop transport or bomber type plane in these maps.
but now that we have maps in PR like kashan that are huge and have extended view ranges i think maybe it would work pretty well to have a plane like an AC-130 since you could fly it higher now and still be able to hit ground targets and not have to worry about flying off the map every 5 seconds. or maybe a c-17 globemaster with paratroops, a b1 bomber with laser guided bombs, some kind of russian derived bomber for the MEC etc. and other transports.

Bang, bang, bang. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt *whoosh* *CRASH*

Awwwww, a SFI-0 (Search For It) just shot your AC-130 down

I'd like to land a C-130 in the middle of the kashan desert unload the entire team and then fly back to the airfield, imagine your score if you shot down a full one...

Hell yeah! lots of points. i would like to see a transport on a night map..... paratroopers assaulting a small village....at night

ya, i'd like to see a AC-130. but the problem with that is the amount of crew needed to fly it ingame would be very little. IRL the weapons are controlled by 1 person, people will just fight over who gets to fly it and who doesn't get to fly it.

Been suggested before, charliergrs, please do a search next time. Any aircraft larger than a heavy lift helicopter, like a C-130, would be difficult to use on any map, and anything larger than a C-130 would be too big for any map.
