Some interesting facts about Battlefield's AC130, pulled from gameinformer:
"Taking over a specific base grants the controlling team access to an AC-130 gunship. The gunship travels on a fixed circular path around the bases and it has four seats -- two for shooting 125mm cannons at the ground and two anti-air turrets for defending its airspace.
Though only four people can man the AC-130 at once, other soldiers can use it as a mobile parachute spawn point.
The AC-130 is also a great position to spot and mark enemies for your teammates.
If your team controls the AC-130, the smart strategy is to have all patrolling the aircraft defend it from oncoming attacks so it can continue its forceful barrage.
The AC-130 is heavily armored, but it cannot be repaired by engineers. This means ground forces can bring it down with concentrated fire."
My team lost a round of Rush in just 10 minutes because this helicopter was circling over my defenders' base and just kept shooting guns and rockets and it never died through the entire round because it had ECM jammer. Not a single person was able to leave the spawn for more than 5 seconds. I dare DICE to put ECM jammer on the AC130. I'll be ready to sell this game if they do.
HOLY SH*T! thats what people will hear, before they asplode
AC-130 I think!
AC 130 Spectre ;)
Probs an AC-130U Spooky actually. I think its got the single GAU, instead of the two 20mm's.
Could be wrong though.
oh noes.. a new vehicle to camp it's spawn for whole round

this f***ing plane will shot everyone in sight , but , where is the gunship for RUSSIAN , maybe TU-95 ? or An-225 ? :p
The gunship becomes available to team that controls a specific capture point, so any side can access it.
Now i don't like that.. the Russians sure needs their own Gunship!

If it does have ECM, why not just use rocket pods?
