Question reguarding possibility of an Air asset

[Crackshot232]

Hey everyone, I am new to these forums so forgive me if I am not directly in accordance with the posting guide lines but I have a question that I would like to run by both the BF2/PR Community and Developers. In my time of playing Project Reality and seeing how far it has come with its interface in vehicles I have found my self thinking "How awesome would it be if we had an Air asset that required a six man squad to operate" Or at the least more than just two operators.

The asset I am thinking of here, and bare with me, is the AC-130 gunship, complete with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one 40mm autocannon, and one 105 mm M102 cannon. Now I know what you are all thinking "Oh great another CoD Fan boy wanting his little toys in other games" Well, you are wrong, while I do play Call of Duty and I do enjoy the operating and interface of the AC-130, That is not the reason I feel it would fit well in this game.

The AC-130 was featured in an update of Battlefield Vietnam, and it is because of that fact that I feel it would be able to fit into this BF2 Mod, the AC-130 Is a valuable air asset for providing CAS to ground units moving to, or defending a flag, assuming you have a pilot that understands the concept of orbiting a ground target, the way I would see this working with a whole squad is, two people on the 20 mm Vulcans, one person on the 40 mm autocannon, one person on the 105 mm cannon, a spotter, and a pilot.

I understand this would take lots of time to fit into the game and would likely require some tweaking of other factors of the game to accommodate for it but in a game about team work and realism I feel the AC-130 fits right in comfortably and who wouldn't enjoy raining down fire onto people. All in all, this is my simple suggestion for the game, and my question to the developers is, is there any plan or was there ever a plan to include an AC-130 in the game? And to the community, Would you like to see this item in game? let me know below.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and again If I violated any rules inadvertently here I am truly sorry, and I hope you can get back to me asap.

Thank you, and it both is and isn't a suggestion, while It would be cool to see it in game, I could careless either way, grant it I did explain in detail about it in this post, I am just saying how I picture it working, if it has been suggested before cool, I am more asking the community what they think of the idea, and wanted to see if the Devs had thought of it before.

Also, before I made this post I typed in the search bar for the forums searching for anything on AC-130s and never got a post, so I figured it hadn't been brought up before.

Thanks for searching before you posted this, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have brought up all the results you wanted but this has been suggested before. Try using the advanced search.

To clarify, we don't accept suggestion for factions where we have an active Military Advisor. This means the US, USMC, Russians, IDF and British are all "off-limits" for suggestions.
