hi-tech weapons - dale brown style

Hey guys,

How about we see this aircraft that may be coming off the assembly line in 15 years.

1. Lockheed Martin BMACK - can be used as a stealth transport, short takeoff w/vertical launch, and/or can be modified as a replacement for the venerable AC-130. Also Lockheed has plans to use it as a tanker or cargo aircraft. Picture transporting some small Army unit w/their vehicles and then kicking ***.


Here's a link for more info

they should add planes that had been in DB's previous books into the game, example the Robot/unmanned Vampire bomber or the Flight hawks or even the Megafortresses

Exoskeletons here kicking butt and taking names. Great job devs for including this unit. Hopefully, we'll see this soon. The US Army is putting money together with DARPA. The actual program is called EHPA, exoskeletons for human performance augmentation.:tup:

The C-130Hs have been upgraded to the C-130J, so there's no foreseeable replacement of the Hercules coming in the future. (It's just such a capable platform for what it's made for.)

But picture a reinforced squad of Delta troopers or Rangers with their vehicles coming in undetected, without need of an airstrip. Plus check out the link I mentioned and you'll see this is not ordinary replacement for the C-130.

The C-130 was always capable of Hot Dropping and "Wire Catching" Why build an exact craft thats just has Stealth? Doesn't seem a wise spending of funds. The CH-130 Combat Talon is what the Spec Ops. Guys use all the time (Not to be confused with the AC-130 Spectre Gunship)

Has anybody got a picture of the Mega Fortress :lightbulb

[BOMBLORD]

for all thos people who think that the spectre gunship from generals is real,well,thats wrong.the J version is the version of the gunship with guns from the two sides of the aircraft.(left and right)and the earlier gunship versions had guns only in the left side.

The AC-130H Spectre Gunship is the actual name of it, with a combo of 2 25mm Vulcan Cannons, a 40mm Bofors gun and a 105mm Howitzer. The C-130J is just the next generation transport Hercules with a complete Glass Cockpit and reduced work load on the pilot crew. :cool:
