Nobody plays as a commander so AC130 is irrelevant. I just wish it would crash land and act as a mini levolution.
this dude guessed the future lol
Macie Jay ww1 blimp
Hell a r6 pro
Wtf the real oracle
Tf u doin here
it is what it is, it's ac 130 it's a big fat, vulnerable, yet rainer of death and destruction.

Thrakerzad ur mom🙂
Thrakerzad Just cause it’s not complete.
Fair point 👌
The gunship is not overpowered. There is a million different ways to take it out. Just take the objective that connects with the gunship. An good AA driver could easily take out a gunship in less than 10 seconds.
Notice how in the right hand corner where it shows who's in the gunship as if levelcap isn't telling dice to fix it. This is why Bf has been sucking.
@@Brain_Food- is the brain in your username silent?
@@shrekworshiper4965 Bf 2042 is trash which further proves my point why these games have been lackluster these past decade.
@@Brain_Food- this was made at the launch of the game idiot
AA tanks are much more op in my opinion
Matt Delmonico yup
Sorry to ruin your 90-1 kd
I would not mind one bit if they removed as tanks. Ruins the game sometimes. You don't see very many people going 53-0 in a tank or apc, but any decent player can do that in AA unless they get ganged up on, no soldier is going to be able to stop it one volly of the chain guns rips to peices engineers and it taking 4 laser guided rockets from an a-10 to destroy (if the driver doesn't repair while you reload) makes it way op vs aircraft.
@@keaganmead2036 if it has zunis you're fucking done.
Matt Delmonico they are too op
AC-130 isn't powerful enough, I liked MW2 when you heard "AC-130 above", everyone ran into the closest building
I always loved the noise of the gunship in mw2, it always gave me the chills.
Ahaha... ahh memories.
I loved getting into the AC-130
ppl on the ground: OH GOD an AC-130
Me: HAHAHA!... COME OUT YA LITTLE ANTZ!!! >:D
BrownieKuma72 I loved those missions in the CoD campaigns when you get in the AC-130...loved and hated it mp...I rarely got it...so I was on receiving end...but boy when I DID get it...lol...it was soooo fun..
And when the pilot said things like "HOY DAYM HUNTER-TWO-ONE"
Lol yeah and I love the sound the shell made in mw2 when it was fired
I like it as it is. I think it should be a huge threat, its a damn AC-130! If a scout heli with 2 reps can terrorize a whole team, then a giant gunship should be able to do so equally if not better
+FrostFire454 i agree
It can be killed by a jet in one flyby, so it's not OP. Case closed.
i like your content turbopummel just stop playing all the stupid music to it
Well said.. If you don't like it shoot it down.. :)
It's got a lot of countermeasures and tons of gun power. An average jet pilot will have to get real close to take it down correctly or risk being shot down themselves.
Is guns are strong but it's true EVERYBODY in a jet could take it down with one attack run
Ann Boylen not to mention escorts
Here's a balance: Give the US an AC-130 and give RU a Submarine. Like jets on rush in BF3 let them take eachother out until 1 is standing. The one standing can rock the battlefield until the other respawns in random spots. Give CN flying and diving ninjas to balance it out.
BEST IDEA EVER! I still thinking that CN's ninja shit will be beter than the Gunship AND the submarine !
Troll Universe
we gotta get this plan to DICE. You with me?!
*cricket noise*
Chris Padilla
Dammit!
so RU can eazy destroy AC130 but US how they destroy submarine :/ if its in under the water or it's on the surface its hard to get it down
I think you hinted at the solution by accident. It should have a 90 seconds respawn delay as all air vehicles have. That way it could still be useful and not always present.
Any kind of spawn delay would be a welcome addition.
It should be a 7 min resplendent time
its already useless and always has been the fucking thing goes down in like 1 minute. at max.
a jet can kill it in 2 strafes. maybe even in 1
These days you're lucky if even get one. When you do, you'd be lucky if it lasts at least a minute
Now it has that and it's weak af
The gunship needs no nerf at all. You SHOULD be afraid of it, and you SHOULD get the flag that gives the enemy commander the ability to deploy it. If you don't want to get mowed down just get your jet pilot to do his job. If that's not possible (aka no jets in the map) lase it with the recon's binaculars and someone WILL take it down. A lased gunship is a dead gunship. The AC-130 is sheer terror in real life situations, and I believe it should also be like that in the game, not because of realism, but because of its nature. Why would it even exist if it could not do any considerable damage? I agree with a comment I saw though, its deployment time should have a 30 sec or even 1 minute cooldown. That way you have some time to re-capture the flag that gives the asset to your commander, so your team can have the air support instead. Objections and opinions are welcome.
i could not agree with u more
I'm 100% with you. I don't understand why more people don't see it this way... IT'S A FREAKING AC-130! It's supposed to have devastating firepower, that's it's single purpose, it can't do much else.
The meta game needs to be considered more I think. Think of BF4 as a RTS (at least from the commanders perspective anyway), prioritize the flag that gets you the AC-130 and defend that flag with everything you have.
People who rage about the the AC-130 being OP often forget that all you have to do is recapture the flag that gives your team access to the thing, and that flag is more than likely poorly defended.
I agree with the increased cooldown though, I'd even go so far as to make it a 5min cooldown and increase the firepower of the AC-130 even more.
I agree too, it's not OP at all. Yes the flag is an easy target and if a team defends it well then theres always more letters in the alphabet to capture. If your in a jet its a one pass kill which if feel was a bit quick and easy points so more HP for the AC I think is fair, with a much longer respawn time 1 or 2 mins seems balanced.
PixelCortex 100% with you.
I agree, the only thing that is bad about it is it's spawntime, as you mentioned, it should be reduced.
just seeing this in my recommended and lol I played Bf4 since release date I went to the midnight ( y'all remember how poppin those were back then) and fuckin to this day had no idea you can get an AC130 gunship with the commander CAUSE LIKE NOT ONE PERSON EVER DID IT like it was such a cool idea I wish it got used more and not just forgotten about
Its War, Its not meant to be fair
it's a video game not war
SICK BURN M8
+michael cardiff year but it's a game about war so your comment is pointless bruh
thx for reminding me how worthless I am in this world
REALLY THX
Arawak its not sim thb bf is turing into an arcade shooter
I like how the battlefield community "suggests" things to devs while other communities only complain over and over.
I agree to a certain point. I think every community has people in it who actually try to criticise constructively. Even though I kinda think BF's community does this more intensively than others it's still a matter of how active you are in other communities.. If you don't ever read/watch news on other games you only hear the complaints from time to time but not the suggestions. Does that make sense? :D
I think you have to consider the fact that DICE seems to be quite "receptive" to the community's criticism and suggestions. From my experience, other companies produce their game the way they want and don't give a shit about what the players think...
Yes Morsti completely agree but I do follow Minecraft/GTA/COD communities pretty closely and by far BF community is much more constructive than destructive :)
COUGHghostsCOUGHCOUGH
Does "fix the game!" count as an improvement suggestion? It seems like that's all that a lot of BF players can say.
Make it more resistant, but only allow a single one to spawn. Once it gewst destroyed, it's done, no more AC130 for the rest of the round. That way if the other team is oblivious it's just their fault, otherwise the team who has the AC-130 could focus a bit on trying to protect it.
Well, not no more AC-130 after destroy, but maybe it'd be good to leave it's vulnerability as it is and make it spawn FAR more rarely (make the Commander cooldown for it bigger). Also, it's a good idea to have no AC-130 in maps with no jets.
Nikolay Stoynov Nah, I think having just one very powerful AC130 could lead to some very interesting games, because everyone would be aware of the incredible importance of keeping it alive to maintain a certain superiority, or to destroy it to negate such an advantage. Hell, they could even make a game mode focused on just that, and remove it completely from all other game modes. Actually forget what I said before, I like this idea. Make it happen dice(sure, they will.).
The Drunk Knight How would a team keep the AC-130 alive in the first place? You can't repair it (not to my knowledge at least) and you can't really stop enemy players from being engineers to shoot it down, unless you can magically spawn kill them somehow
Not directly, just, you know... by killing the enemy. Or they could make it so that you can actually move around in the AC130 and so repair it from the inside, but the enemy could shoot holes through the AC130 with rocket launchers so you wouldn't be safe runnin' around and you'd get sucked out if you got too close to the hole or something, or get burnt by the fire caused by the explotion or whatever. Still, this is just idle talk, nothing's gonna come out of this anyways
For those who don't know, you dont always get Gunship as a commander, it depends on the map & depends if your team has a certain point captured, that allows u to spawn the Gunship.
Some maps got Cruise Missiles instead, some got even both (Firestorm for example) but yeah its kinda weird why they allowed gunship on that map, it's very OP. ( I guess the expected boats to counter it?)
It's really hard to hit people with the cannons for some reason. The 120mm cannon explodes next to a tank ( about 2-3 meters away ) it doesn't damage the tank though...
I don't really have a problem with the AC130.
Replace the gunship with the drop ship from endgame. The commander could prehaps select the icon and draw a straight line across the map. Then the drop ship will spawn and make one pass before disappearing with a re spawn time of 4-5 minutes. Players will be able to spawn on the drop ship while its making the pass and drop down behind enemy lines to cap objectives. Much more tactical.
OP? I don't think so.. anyway the gunship would be very useful if it is deployed constantly and if a good gunners are in it
this was 2 years ago
+thegaming narwhal this isn't real life
Bautista Ibieta now that would be op
An idea, in conquest anyways.. 1 team only gets the ac 130 if the other team holds every point, creating a mechanic that aids in keeping games from going crazy one sided.
Great idea, they should implement this.
If they hold all the points, it should be nearly impossible to shoot down. Once a point is taken by the oppressed team, the AC-130 only circles their deployment & can be shot down.
Once flag two is captured, it leaves if it hasn't yet been shot down.
Udalix that's actually a really good idea
What the fuck lol they did exactly that in BF1
I definitely agree that they shouldn't just straight up remove it from the game, but they should certainly tweak it some more. Maybe increasing the overheat time of the burst fire seat? Increasing respawn time would definitely help as well. For the Naval Strike maps, they either need to remove it from that game mode or add in jets. But then again, adding in jets to Naval Strike would make it difficult for the choppers to be effective (since that's currently one of the only game modes the choppers can stay alive in).
Someone suggested it in a video to *****, change it to the C-130 from Battlefield 3. Essentially turning it into a spawn point for infantry and small vehicles. Much cooler and more useful to team play. I can't remember who suggested it in that video but hats off to them, very clever idea.
I really don't mind it, sure it's annoying on maps like Lost Islands, but like you said it's really easy to take out (or to just cap the flag and let your team have it). I actually quite enjoy just covering my friends with it when we play sometimes, even if I don't get many kills
i think if its that much of a nuisance, go capture the damn point that gives it to you...
I have a few ideas on how to fix the gunship:
1. Reduce spawn rate. Or...
2. Make the AC-130 a somewhat difficult to kill one-off.
3. Give it weak points like its wings and engines.
4. Be a damn team and not run around doing your own shit.
I have one more point, that i believe can help to fix the gunship, make the ac 130 have a 30 sec. pass or 1 minute if you want, and then all the passengers are ejected, and the gunship disappear, and then wait another 30 sec. to respawn again the gunship
ramonrir Your awesome idea just gave me another idea: why not have the commander control the gunship? Also, your idea is awesome.
Blow Him Already ^
Greene Bean lmao
Hahahahhaa.... It's definetely not OP - far from that, the AC130 does still very little damage, like yes, on lost islands(i think thats the name) you can't really hide, but since it does so little damage it's not hard to runa away from it.
When i'm playing when there's a gunship, i almost never even notice it...
1. Look up if you think its AC-130
2.Find out how they are looping because 130 has a flight path
3. Go in opposite position
Fred Walsh I'm not sure if i get it.
*Im not sure if i get it what you mean.
Ac-130 has a set path that it flies. The guns on it have an angle it can shoot at. So if you go to the opposite direction the guns face then ur safe cause the guns have no angle on you. Get it? Try it your self in a conquest game.
Oh yeah... But i *THINK* as a primary gunner you can change the flight course a little bit.
The gunship is good as it is. It may seem overpowered but if you take a look at it it's just realistic. A real AC-130 (aka 'Spooky' :D) can pack quite a punch with it's guns. As mentioned it devastates targets on the ground with a 105mm(!) gun, a 40mm gun and a 25mm gatling. All of those weapons say "hello sir. I am here to mess you up. Bigtime." A gunship is the ultimate airstrike and i think if it kicks ass in reality, why shouldn't you be able to hand your enemies' butts to them in BF4? Superior firepower is always seen as 'nooby' (see also: MP7) but in fact some of the things are just realistic. Sorry for the wall of text, have a nice day, potatoe.
Ok. So if im right.... i have to say something healty for the human. Carrot (that bad english #netherlands)
jarikruitbos14
i feel you bro...?
Weekendwarrior232 Or i fee you mate....?
jarikruitbos14
actually i dont have the slightest idea of what you want to tell me...
that.... pineapple Weekendwarrior232
Try finding an AC-130 on the 360 xD
You dont have one? :(
Brigapes it's rare
reject543 Ohh....
try finding a commander there not very common but not very rare...in-between
why not a timer before it needs to leave the battlefield to refuel. Or you only have a limited number of shots per gun and when they are all used up the gunship leaves
This idea is actually pretty good.
Jeralamo because that’s gay
Simple solution, make the gunship player taken off and flown, half the people wouldn't be able to get it off the ground and the other half wouldn't keep the guns facing the ground. Also having a pilot controlling the flares vs everyone would cut down its survivability.
Yes, because people gracefully drove it straight into the ground, like in the good old days of DC. Sure the AC130 was OP, but requiring a bit of skill and, dare I say it, TEAM WORK made it rewarding. BF3/4 are fun, but it's like they watered every version of BF down.
Player flown is such a perfect idea!
If that happens they will have to make map changes to add giant runways, well that is only if they actually care in the slightest about realism.
Also the pilot should get %50 of the points the players get in the AC-130 ( not taking away points ) so that way you wouldn't have as many people just flying them into things for LoLz
If BF4 keeping things true... I bet the gunship is fitted out with a 105mm Howitzer, 40mm cannon, and a 25mm gattling cannon... AKA a flying can of Whoop-Ass
a can of whoop-ass
A reference from Family guy
this was recommened to me 7 years later and im happy it was
It would be fine how it is if it only didnt respawn instantly.
Make it harder to kill, but have a 3 minute CD. Or similar. Make the killing of it both harder, but also more meaningful.
Yes exactly!!!
buff the SRAW damage against the ac-130 so if it does re spawn just blow it to oblivion again. Or they could add a cool down so once the gunship is destroyed, the commander can't pop it up again for some time?
Not hard to shoot down the AC130, shot down loads using 20mm and passive radar missiles
Truly fantastic for knocking around setup snipers and positions.
Its fine where it is. Its not OP. When BF3 Armored Kill was released, that's when the AC-130 was OP. DICE has done a good job in balancing it.
Pro tip: Instead of trying to shoot it down, go capture the objective that has the AC-130.
Thank you, thats how I look at it. Just go take the objective and then no gunship for the enemies
Exactly. People cry so much about this but they forget its Conquest. Just work together and go cap the objective.
AC130 should stay the way it is right now because it is actually realistic, think about it.. you see a AC130 in real life... the 1st thing you are going to do is run somewhere, the AC130 in prevous update made me fucking angry to the point where i would say "what is the point of having something that does no damage?" same goes for the bomber as well on China Rising.
I like this update because these are suppose to be feared Vehicles, not something that you could shrug off, if they take it off.. fine by me, but don't nerf it to a point where it is just a pushover.
Who gives a fuck about it being realistic? This is Battlefield, its more about FUN, not realism, and that hunk of shit is not FUN.
soulshot96 I never got killed by it and never gets killed by it. Most people using this thing does not know how to shot people with it. So for me, i don't really care that much.
soulshot96 It's pretty fun when you spawn into it and rain death for a minute or so. Being killed by anything is almost never fun though.
Its not fun to use and its not fun to be killed by. What is its purpose. It doesn't have one. Its a fluff feature.
Games are about fun and balancing. Where the realism in spawning one gunship after the other with unlimited ammo? Dont get me started on realism in BF4. Parachutes, wonder healing medikits, instant revive defibs, recharging vehicle ammo, and so on. Wheres the realism in that?
i think the ac-130 should not instant spawn after it has been destroyed. there should be a minimum 90 second cooldown before it re-appears
Anthony M. If you have ever been a commander you would know, there is
Game wise, the AC-130 takes skill to get. first of all, your team has to have a certain point locked down for the commander to call it in, so if you can't hold down that point, you deserve an AC-130 on your ass. Next, the commander can only call them in after a long period of time, so it's not like they would fill the sky like the mothership in independence day the movie. I think the AC-130s are fine like they are. remember: skill is all it takes
It's not even that good anyways
It takes some time to call it after the point is taken. But after that you can call it right after its destruction, like Lc mentioned in the video.
But you are right, it is not that good. I always feel like shooting ants with gravel. They just don't care and rarely die..
Lower the height of the gunship into igla range, then it will be less of a problem.
So hitting every building on Dawn Breaker? Lol
The IGLA has a range of 500m so it's hardly going to hit buildings if you drop it to day 400m.
In BF3 you could switch to a top view when in the mini gun seat. I think they should bring that back because its way to easy for jets to take it down.
No that was dumb and unrealistic
MexiGI whole game is unrealistic
Gal Kralj 420
Gal Kralj games are unrealistic
***** It sounds like you are describing BF1942 with the medical cabinets. If that's the case than Battlefield has always been unrealistic. If you stood in front of one of those things you couldn't possible lose a gunfight.
It's different for us console gamers. The AC130 is fun to use, but you don't get it often because of lack of people playing as commander. Additionally, it gets shot down very easily, either by AA Tank, Jet, or a Jet ram. On top of that, it's not as easy to get kills with as it is on PC because we can't swing gun turrets around at light speed (as you can on a PC) we are limited to the traverse time of the game. I would actually be in favor of buffing the AC130 a bit, give it back its anti-aircraft guns that it had in BF3.
But only on console because then on PC it would be op
It's easier to play on pc as it is, it's harder to aim and move with a joystick, gets harder to control recoils, and sometimes very annoying
Buy a PC? Derp.
misegades Nobody plays as commander on PC either so it's rarely seen as well.
Hey LevelCap you should do a challenge where you have to use all bullets in the magazine before your aloud to reload and keep up the great work
After seeing a post from DICE on their blog to players about certain things players though were unbalanced in the game, I'm fully confident that DICE have no actual idea how to balance their own game.
Like their removal of the below radar ability on air vehicles. Seems logical to remove it in their eyes. Now air vehicles can be locked onto while sitting on the ground. Meaning on maps like Flood Zone, someone can constantly destroy the attacker heli before it even gets off the ground. Yay balancing!
I see what you are talking about. Dice should know how to balance their game, but man, the game is for us, that is why they asked/ask what to be balance. Im kind of in both sides, they should ask, but they also should know how to balance more the game.
But think of it like that: The Scout Chopper on Flood Zone is already extremely strong and can hide behind buildings etc.
Now think of that already strong Chopper with being able to not get tracked by missiles, that would make it too strong and boring for infantry.
Or do you like to get raped by a vehicle you cannot kill?
PS: That is coming from a jet pilot, so do not think, I am one of those "air haters".
***** I'd much rather have it the way it was in Battlefield 3.
DICE's reason for taking it out was because they didn't want to frustrate the Engineer's by constantly having to re-lock on or because they might lose the lock if the vehicle dipped to low in the sky.
They also went on to say that defenses on aircraft were enough to counter incoming anti-air things. Which again was a huge lie. I've watched countless missiles fired at both my helicopter and jet go right trough either chaff or flares, which DICE said in that same blog post would never happen. DICE claimed they were 100% full proof and would work every time.
Suffice to say that I stopped playing Battlefield a while ago. The rubberbanding, server lag, server disconnects, unbalanced vehicles, etc all made me stop playing.
***** just about everyting is Anti-Air in this game. The AA uses those passaive Radar missiles with a 30 mm cannon. Below radar wouldnt hurt lol
***** Ga weg Dirk! xD
It's a commander asset that is available when your team captures a flag. It's supposed to be powerful - it's a reward. As it was before, there was no incentive to use it whatsoever. It's not like it's invincible anyway.
It is now on operation firestorm, HC.
it technically is when you can instantly respawn it...
You know what they should buff......... The fucking phantom bow.
Ikr!
bisshh
Its a skill weapon, not meant for everyone to easily get kills with it.
There should be levolution events on some maps where the ac130 crashes and kills anybody in its way. For example on siege of Shanghai or in the 6th dlc ( if it comes out ) it would crash into the building and fall down.
Make the spawn timer longer.
but the commander has already not a lot of options to use
GalacticNuke Whats fun for the commander isn't fun for everyone else. The commander shouldn't be able to dictate the fun of upto 32 other players. The recharge rates of uavs and gunships is pretty ridiculous right now. I hate seeing 3 uavs and a gunship orbiting the same point with an emp going off every 2 seconds, if the commander really needs to constantly click things there are thousands of other games they should play instead.
I agree it needs to wait like 10 mins
just only extend the respawn time
keep it as is.
because its really powerful on ground targets because it lost the AA guns from when it was in BF3.so any aircraft can easily take it down.
and its not as big as a problem as other vehicles. *cough* scout 20mm *cough*
It's funny that most of the games I get into there aren't very many effective Ac-130 gunners, but as soon as someone knows what they're doing in it, their presence is felt by the entire opposing team. I mainly jump in it when I'm not wanting to play too serious or anything. Fun addition to the game but after watching actual videos of gunships being used across seas in the war, I do think it's main cannon is underpowered. Still a cool feature to the game. Great video!
I think that the ac130 is not as overpowered as it is annoying, but id be mad if they took it out because it's so sick.
I'll jump in the AC-130 occasionally because it's there and it's fairly easy to take out the odd annoying tank with it. I really think Battlefield is best on infantry focused maps though, vehicles just don't do it for me.
Its cus they made vehicles full of bullshit perks and so on. Vehicles played out much better in bf 1942........ i mean wtf....
It defiantly is annoying. But then again, what isn't annoying in BF4.
definitely?
Stupid auto correct. Definitely*
***** I feel your anger bro, I don't want to spend any more money on the game so...
I don't have that problem. I bought Premium as soon as I could because the BF3 DLC was amazing and I expected BF4 DLC to be amazing as well, but it turns out, most of the DLC was a let down. Most of the premium exclusiv stuff is amazing, however I don't think that parachute camos should've been an exclusive because you only see parachutes for like 15 seconds out of a whole match lol
Hopefully DICE will release DLC 6 for free! It's the least they can do after the crashes, bugs, server errors, net code errors, hit detection errors, Premium errors, connection issues, issues with shareholders, issues with the Battlefield Community, Battlelog malfunctions: their errors list is too long for players to not begrudge their dev issues. And then there's EA...
Love your videos man keep it up
keep it the way it is :D, maybe reduce the amount of time to spawn or something. I think it shouldn't be a commander function, it should be a flag to be captured in conquest of a specific location in rush etc. like it was in BF3, that worked quite well
In Conquest, you actually have to capture a specific flag to get the Funship...
The ac-130 is a fucking gunship. It should be able to punish people's assholes. I know the game has to be balanced, but battlefield is more realistic then other games.
What about arma 3?
SrafasFromRS I think he was speaking in a more general term, I mean... how many games out there (that are popular enough to be known when even referenced) are within the same teir of Arma?
Arma 3 isn't on console it's not known by the majority of gamers.
SrafasFromRS
Arma is fucked up
Kawasaki Rider I like both arma 3 and bf4.
Same here.. Love 2nd seat in AC 130 and spraying on infantry boats.. with explosive Rounds= Rain of Teror= Death from Above..
Like all Ur videos and how U present and overview of all weapons inventory in B4
Keep it becouse in order to get it. You must have a certain objective captured . So it's your choice if your team wants it or the others.
AC 130 should have been player operated. If a player flew it they would have to their air raids and we all know lots of pilot error would cause it not to last long.. Also just having to make your turns to come back and make attacks.. Just would have been more fun to have it that way and also make teams have to be more strategic with it..
I also think this game lacks some kind of multi player jets ^^
+would be cool being able to walk around in it a bit if possible
I think the C-130 should stay how it is because the option is supposed to be a significant difference in the battle. For it not be that significant and no one really cares just be utterly useless. Though they should make it to where it has to take a little longer for the spawn.
It's an "A"C-130 and they really should just put a limit to how many times it can be spawned like 3 or so; however, since you said a C-130 that would be nice to have to drop down tanks out of the sky :)
Yeah but them they would drop in weird places like in the water or in trees
And on towers
I agree. its not very significant if it spawns so often
Great Vid. I was thinking the same thing about the Rush servers. I haven´t been able to play play a single rush match in the new maps.
What i want is the bf3 varient, the 25mm cannon and the 105 gun, but what the bf3 one did also have was 2 turrets on the top that could shoot jets and choppers that are chasing them.
Can they not nerf it slightly but not back to where it was? That chaingun needs a faster overheat/longer cooldown time and slightly less splash damage, the main cannon is utter crap so don't bother changing that and knock a couple of rounds from the secondary cannon's ammo. And swap it out for the Cruise Missile in Carrier Assault, that would be fine. DicePls
anyone else notice on certain maps (paracel storm) the gunship is completely immune to the attack jets rounds?
There's a glitch with the height limit where if you're really high up, you can't deal damage to things that are also high up, making the AC effectively immune to bullets if you are too close, you have to come at it from beneath.
Watching this in 2023, I remember this AC-130 being absolute terror on Battlefield 3 too as well.
I just wish they would work on the visuals of the explosions. I mean the impact of that howitzer in the game makes a midget's fart seem more powerful...
Its all right, Just add a dam cool down to it like 4-5 mins so the same people who were killed a second ago cant respawn in it again instantly
My personal anti-sniper machine! USe it, shoot it, love it!
I like it how it is it feels more like a threat than nothing at all.
I would think a flak cannon on the belly would be a welcome addition. That, and an armor upgrade.
However, I would also suggest a 2 minute respawn, and a change where wing/engine shots deal critical damage.
They only way i can see them fixing this would be if they make it so you can't call on it unless there are two commander online. Far to many times i seen one side when the battle because of the AC-130.
The AC130 is the most annoying thing after grenade spam !
and heli/jet whores
the ac130 is a great tool in battlefield as it give the infantry something else to fight over. for example if both teams have a commander then it is in the teams best interest to hold the objective that controls the gunship so to control the conquest. as a counter to this the other team will no doubt try to take that objective at the same time as to control the gunship themselves.
I love the AC-130. I've had a blast playing with it and once it kills me and I notice it I just shoot it down. It also adds the incentive to attack, take, and hold the objective that allows your commander to spawn it in. It makes the game so much better.
The AC130 should stay as it is, but it should be hard to get. They should maybe make it so that the commander can only spawn it if your team has 3 different flags around the map.
They nerfed the fuck outta it. 25mm is my favorite seat
Starting in bc2, been playing for years.... first time commander today lol 2019...
The second seat in the gun ship is a 40mm Bofors grenade launcher, not an artillery cannon, the first is a 105mm Howitzer artillery cannon, and the third seat is a GAU-12 Equalizer 25mm cannon.
I was playing on Conquest on Dawnbreaker and I was on the roof. I saw the AC-130 hanging out in the sky and decided YOLO, took out my RPG (Explosives are my specialty) and lead it by what seemed like 1200 yards, aimed 4.5 in. on my T.V. upwards, and it was off. I took out my zoom scope and just watched it. Perfect shot, right in the dome. Got the vehicle kill assist and a vehicle hit! Badumpbadumpbadump ONLY IN BATTLEFIELD! :D
It's so easy to take it out. I personally don't find it op for a vehicle the most op vehicle would be the attack boat imo.
Yeah, whenever I do get in it I die or have to parachute fast. There is always a jet pilot going after it.
Make it so that I can hear the shots from the AC 130 coming in!
DMR's just not annoying enough?
foilister he's saying two or three seconds before it hits you hear a loud whistle, similar to artillery fire in WWII before it hits.
The timer for this thing needs to start AFTER it's shot down. Whenever I'm a commander and deploy a Gunship I see the timer ticking away before anyone's even spawned in or realised it's in the air meaning when it's shot down one can be dispensed instantly
I've taken out a moving helicopter with the howitzer on an AC-130 multiple times, and moving tanks, etc. I'm really good with leading shots and putting it where I want. The howitzer isn't hard to use if you know how to aim properly :)
my idea is to keep it the same but bring it within range of Infantry lock-on missile launchers like the stinger.
Should never been a part of Naval Strike
Should never been a part of Battlefield...
It should deal the same dmg as now, have less health and it should take longer to spawn. The reason I like it is that it feels great when you really help your team or squad push on a point.
This thing has been the bane of my existence sense i got this game; you spawn and just start running, then hell comes to greet you with a lot of exploding bullets.
And it's still a better addition to the game than the scout heli's fricking 25mm bullshit cannons. Op as fuck.
I prefer the miniguns over the 25mm on the scout, sure they cant damage armor, but they kill jeeps, and other choppers much faster than the 25mm's
Knightfang1 Yep, me too
i think that if you needed a pilot to fly it, i would have a better time. like the pilot would be able to fly it like a really slow jet,but this makes it a bit more vulnerable to rpgs, sraws, etc. it would allow a little more balance to the game. i just don't want everyone running around with stingers, taking out heli's and the gunship.
How do you deploy the AC-130 in BF4 Multiplayer? I’m looking for other tips for deploying weapons or drop zones. Do you have a video for things like that?
Gun one is a 105mm Howitzer cannon, Gun two can be one of three setups, the GAU-23 30mm autocannon, the L60 Bofors 40mm autocannon, or the GAU-12 25mm/U Gatling. I assume based on altitude that the Gunship in game is supposed to be the "Spooky II" variant (The Spooky II's are pressurized), which makes it likely that it's the 40mm Bofors cannon. The third seat is none other than the GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling gun (sounds about like 1800rpm), and isn't fast enough to be the M61 Vulcan found on variants such as the Spectre (Retired in 2014), Ghostrider, and Stinger II.
Make it so it takes much longer to respawn after it goes down.
I think the AC130 should fly lower like in BF3, and have the AA cannons back.
Have you ever heard of bailing out of the vehicle before you die?
Or taking cover, there's cover everywhere, aslong as you're out of the line of sight, you're safe, and you're covered?
Or maybe using the IGLA? It's effective.
Or maybe using proper teamwork and communication skills to take it out?
My only interaction with this plane so far was when i found out that it was in bf4 by getting shot trying to take an objective. Honestly, I like it how it is currently.
i seriously have no clue why people hate it so much? i hardly ever get killed by it and its boring to go in, the only people who complain about it, are the people who are just shit at the game
Personally, the AC-130 isn't must of an issue. I mean its hard enough to get kills with(unless you're pro) and its not that hard to take down. The fact that it re-spawns very fast makes it seem that it wasn't worth your while taking it down. Hell I remember taking down a gunship by leading a SRAW up there (which was hard to do) and my reaction was legitimately: *monotone* "Ok thats takin' dow-Aww CRAP it spawned again... -.-"
Good video. IMO it should be disabled if two commanders are not in game. If there are two or its left enabled, it should have to fly toward the battlefield after deployment thus delaying it's spawn. The rails it is on should also be in a much larger radius which would ultimately disperse a lot of the concentrated fire players on the ground must endure.
In a perfect world it would be a vehicle at spawn that would need to be manually flown after a particular flag was captured.
I think there should be a good mix between...enough to turn the tide of battle in the correct hands, but not be an annoyance...maybe add the ability to fly it, so it requires teamwork to be effective...
