AC-130 Training Video

[Swanny-CG]

Carnivore and I made a short video tutorial on flying and manning the AC-130. It goes over positions, how to fly, how to gun, etc.

Hopefully it helps those with less experience in the big bird.

If you like it, and it's helpful, you're welcome.

If you don't like it, blow it out your ass.

Without further ado...

Nice video ... I am a big fan of the 130 one hint if most didn't notice ... when using the big gun. The lead you will normally need is the left end of the right line on the crosshair. Of course that is on stationary targets ... moving targets it varies. Good info there Swanny and Carni.

Yes that is Swanny's voice on the audio.


Good tutorial Jason.

Good vid, Sometimes I have to bail out of due to the fustration the crappy flying. BTW "blow it out your ass" You must have been a 6th grade teacher? And no I'm not a gaming nerd. I'm up this early to take my kid to school

[Beaver]

Very nice indeed Swanny, being a "crap" pilot i knew how to fly it already. but some of the things you've said in that video, i didnt know. and will be using in the future.

Nightstalker said ... when using the big gun.

Hmm, let's break this down. "using the big gun"
1. Could it be over compensation for a short fall?
2. Likes to play with large objects?
3. Calls his life parnter by his pet name?
4. All of the above.


Sorry man you leave yourself open (oops)
Just gotta bust your balls (oops)
Sorry didn't mean to turn you on


LOLOL BTW how did you really lose that finger?

Love ya and remember... without armor you can't land your planes

[RoLnRoCk]

great job guys, truly helpful

[Nightstalker]

Sarge that honestly cracked me up. LOL .... its a long story but there was an axe involved. Oh and one word ..... MOAB ... we can make our own runways ;-)

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

I'm sorry I laughed so hard writng it, it stills cracks me up. BTW the only thing the MOAB makes is just a dirt quarter pipe for the skateboard nuts.

GOD i'm still laughing!!!

[Nightstalker]

I honestly dont know .. never saw one but I was told they use them to level a feild ... pretty much incinerate any and everything around to make a runway. We should mod the 130 which is what carries the MOAB anyways and let it have the destruction power of the SCUD or more for that matter ... I mean hell you cant have a name like Mother Of All Bombs without being one bad sumbich.

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

Yeah. I'm just teasing ya. Back in the day they were called Daisy Cutters. Made for a quick LZ in the bush for choppers. They have a proximity fuse to dentonate a couple hundred feet above ground as not to crated and really cleared the deck.


But I still think your hiding something.
I think you keep one hand smothered in vaseline in a glove.

Excellent Video!

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

I use that primary button. Man it's great to stay on target. That is unless Nightstalker is flying then he just crashes into a control point and owns it.

But knowing about what cross hairs to lead with worked great!!

NS is stll gay

[Nightstalker]

That explains a lot .... i am gay and your a dick ... that's why I like I you, you war hardened prick.

And your welcome for the tip ... now just learn to bail out after we
get shot up and I give the command BAIL OUT lolol

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

LOL I forgot I had closed the doors and couldn't hit position 6 to save my life. I was running all around and got friggin lost in the belly of the beast
Plus I slipped on that damn greasy glove of yours


Man, I'm still laughing at that earlier post about the big gun.

[Nightstalker]

Extra info ... Swanny lol you will love this. I have found some realism within the game. The door of the 130 will NOT open when the health of the plane reaches 0. You are stuck in the back.
Now ... there is a way out. Hopefully the pilot bails out quick. You can select position 1(pilot) and then bail out.

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

I bet thats what happened to me when you augered into the CP. Dork

[Nightstalker]

LOL ... Actually no ... I found that out the hard way. I was in position 6 opening and closing the doors as people would spawn in the 130 and bailout. I would of course open as they came close and then close the door as we kept having a Mig show up on our tail. Well ... the Mig finally got the missles in the right spot just as I finished closing the doors and down we go. Tumor ended up chewing the pilots ass because he thought he closed the doors and then bailed leaving his teammates to die. I had to explain to him that is was my fault and what happened .... The day that I was flying and you were gunning and you ended up going down in a ball of flames with my was YOUR fault ... You my freind were the only one in the back with a closed door LOLOLOL

[Swanny-CG]

Most of the time if you pop your chute, even if you're in the back of the plane, you won't die when you hit the ground. Also, the wreckage of the AC130 HAS no back door, so when it crashes and you land you can just walk out. A lot of times popping the chute in the plane just pulls you right through the wall of the 130.

[Nightstalker]

You exactly right Swanny ... I got on single player just to try different things and for some reason today when in the pilot seat I hit eject it would take me to the back ... The plane may need to be a zero health for you to bail straight out of the pilot seat. So I heard the sound of myself falling and said what the heck .. hit the chute and out of the plane i went. So my info was not correct for all scenerios.

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

So I heard the sound of myself falling and said what the heck

WOW....Exciting story. ...Buy a Thesaurus...
Can't wait for next weeks episode of Nightstalker's Tales...

[Sarge 1/68th Armor]

Here's the right way to fly it. This bad ass is for flying not landing!!!
