Question reguarding possibility of an Air asset
Posted: 2011-05-09 17:20
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.
