AC-130 When

[Winters_Bane]

Gaijin pls, you add useless nighthawk before LEGENDARY truck destroyer AC-130??!? Seems like an invalid decision to me.

The AC-130 is huge slow lumbering beast that would be able to get shot down by pretty much everything ingame. It's literally only used in conflict zones where the enemy has 0 AA capabilities due to how slow it is and how it has to literally loiter above their targets to fire making it a easy asf target etc...

It could only work in a whole seperate mode where the aa capabilities of players are drastically neffed/reduced eg a April fools event etc..

At least the nighthawk can get in bomb something and get out lol, the very nature of the AC-130 would make it pretty much useless in War Thunder. Any ol numb nuts in a biplane could shoot it down, heck just someone with a few braincells to knock together could most likley shoot it down with their tanks main gun due to how slow and big it is lol...

Meanwhile the Vietnamese guy in the treeline with a 37mm AA gun.
"Oooh, free kill!"

A new mode would be awesome.

A dedicated player with just a DShK could most likely ruin it's day hahaha and even then it wouldn't be a at a low BR so it will most likely face early radar equipped SPAA's at a minimum so it's just going to be a sitting duck!

The only way I could ever see a AC-130 being in WT is in a specific event for it eg April fools like the submarines where. Both teams start on the ground in a restricted selection of vehicles and you have to resupply or capture a key control point/airbase/cap on the map to be able to call in a AC-130 for your team (a bit like the flags you can cap in Battlefield 4 to call in a AC-130 or cruise missiles etc) Then the other team has to take it down with SPAA's or by supplying SAM sites around the map to shoot it down before it wipes them or the rest of your team out or set locations on the map etc?

The AC-130 would be more useless than the nighthawk... everybody is fine with that. Since they've added the nighthawk, then they sure as hell can add the AC-130 lol. Ion care if it's trash, test flight will be fun asf.

I just know certain players will be all 'OMG AC-130 IMMA SMASH THE ENEMY!!!' and then the inevitable crying on here when they realise a L3/33 CC could shoot them down etc lol! Maybe if they added it into the tank PvE mode it could be useful at least...

All of France. I think that’s enough

[DesertDust]

We got P.108A Serie 2, that has to be enough for now. It is horrible, i know. ;)

No, no way. They have plenty of good vics, at least those of American and British origin, plus Yaks. Domestic designs? M.B.157 (wonderful in air arcade, good in other modes if you're used to having low ammo count but great flight performance for your level), which I only don't like flying after spading it because it should be an event vehicle (a prototype, and moreover, made by the Vichy government) instead of M.B.152C1 (an actual mass-produced fighter used by brave French pilots to defend their homeland from invading German forces), M.B.162, both LeO 451, F.222.2 and N.C.223.3 to some extent, Lancaster MR.7 (ARB and ASB, the best memory in the latter is shooting down a He 162 who wrote in the chat 'A Lancaster? At that br? Lol' and safely returning to the base), Br.693AB2 all have to offer something more than 4 rifle-caliber MGs with low rpg and an optional 20mm cannon, I just haven't figured out if VB.10s are super or just good enough as I had no mood to fly either of them. For the jets...planning to research Vautour IIN (late)'s modifications soon, must be fun to play with Matra R511, and A and B variants can't be that bad in Enduring Confrontation like in air RB, and others just seem to be on par with British jets before Mirages roll out. Tanks yeah, they rely on American/German vics or shells at least (AMX-13 (FL.11), AMX-13-24, EBR, Panther) too much before the MBT ranks, the early tanks are just awful.
