AC-130 BETA
Thank you for waiting while we worked on this, and waiting just a bit longer for the full release! It's crazy to think that it's taken over 5 years to get it to this point.

Beta means that is this a test release so the public can assist us in finding bugs. Errors and malfunctions are quite possible. If you aren't ok with this, please wait until the full release.

If you have another issue, join and search our discord, it's probably already been addressed. If not, let us know in #ac130-bug-reports.

Origins and credits:
Pingopete joined the USAF team in 2017 and worked over a 5 year period on the spooky with the goal of bringing the most accurate spooky gunship experience to ARMA 3 possible. Textures, systems, modeling, sounds, and visual effects were built from the ground up to deliver an authentic experience to the community. This mod was brought to realization in tandem with the USAF team who provided guidance and support along the way, without the help of the USAF mod team, this mod would not be possible.

Honorable Mentions:
A massive thanks to GrandalAF who helped to produce the most realistic gunship experience possible.
Big shout out to Hate&Caffeine who worked to bring the thermal imaging mod A3TI from this project into a standalone mod.
Special thanks to slowness for his work in the object modeling of the cockpit dashboard model.
Also a thanks to warlord for the operations room model.
A huge thanks to the gunship community who provided invaluable feedback and support throughout this 5 year modding journey.

Any issues or feedback please provide on our discord at http://discord.gg/mVwyJRE

To call up AC-130 support directly as a player in the test scenerio simply press the 'H' key, this will bring up 'Drongo's Air Operations' menu and allow you to command the AC-130 to do several tasks and assign specific targets. You can set the loiter position, the loiter height, land and re-arm, etc. Hope this helps y'all out. Happy New Year.

This still works perfectly fine when used with the AI crew for support. Here on the Arma 3 workshop make sure to install these mods: 'Drongo's AI Fire Support', 'Drongo's Air Operations' and 'Drongo's Artillery'. Just as a test I placed 'Drongo's AI Fire Support' in the Eden Editor and the AC-130 Gunship at 800 meters above the ground and set all the AI crew to 100% strength. Under the options in the 'Drongo's AI Fire Support' module you placed make sure to set minimum distance for air assets to 30,000 and ground assests to 10,000. At the start of the test mission in the Eden Editor the AC-130 will go into loiter mode at the altitude you set in the aircrafts init field ie: this FlyInHeight 800; If you place JTAC AI assets near the support area, force them in the prone position and set them to hold fire and stay in stealth, they will call in fire support from the AC-130 without giving away their position on the ground.

Great mod - now abandoned. I believe reforger is the future.

after going through their discord and changelogs i dont believe this is getting any more updates. there are some pretty severe bugs. if you are willing to deal with them go ahead but i would consider this abandoned

Restek, the aiming is spot on, the reason why shots aren't landing is becouse the guns have a traversal limit.
Rastek Jul 22, 2025 @ 12:39pm 
Plane made out of paper, autopilot doesn't work and the aiming is either too odd or barely functional
