Collimatrix Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Interesting. I can't tell from the article whether the HMS is supposed to queue weapons systems, or just display the airspeed/altitude/whatnot so the pilot doesn't have to look down at the controls all the time.

Virdea Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Jihadi all take oaths to give their lives for Allah. The AC130 is designed to fill that oath. A terrible weapon for a power with total air superiority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xthetenth Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Was kind of hoping it was a guided round equipped 120mm mortar I'd heard about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Was kind of hoping it was a guided round equipped 120mm mortar I'd heard about. SDBs and Griffins are pretty nifity upgrades. Also 105mm on a cargo plane is just trolltastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter_Sobchak Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I am in favor of anything with the name "gunship." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I wonder if there are any nifty smart munitions they could be flinging out of the 105mm. GPS-guided or something. Not sure if that jives with the gunship mission profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
