@{CAP}Radeon, you just advanced to level 4!

It's already a flying boat.

with a 105 its more like a flying Leopard

Kinda, boats in general have stupid amounts of weapon systems.

Even the smaller ones.

Lol sea based vessels have far higher capacity for weapon systems.

Its a very american design. Probably the most american plane there is.

designed in texas.

Yepper.

It's due to the limitations.

"yall, think about this? We take a tank gun and mount it sideways in a transport plane!"

The most American plane is arguably the A-10 though.

It's a plane literally designed around the biggest gun they could find at the time.

The specter gunship was designed to provide CAS on ground targets, usually enemy armor. If you have ever watched the first transformers movie you’d see what they do.

Kinda like a warthog on steroids.

Im aware of its role. It saves more infantry than the entire medical corps.

😄

Lol

I dunno, Apaches and Cobras are pretty high up there on providing support, same with A-10s.

"Spectre? Then you dont need us. Cardgame, people!"

I'd argue I've seen more apache/cobra footage, but A-10s rank pretty high.

Yeah, but their ability is limited. Because the specters munitions are mounted on the side of the craft. It can fly circles around its target and provide continuous CAS where apaches and warthogs have to do multiples strafes.

Depends on the size of the force, you don't usually take a specter for a small group, which is most of your combatants probably.

front...now left...behind us!...no wait...right!

Like sniper fire/sporadic fire from a building.

Its the Close support version of Bukake.

lol

Strength through superior mayonnaise.

hahaha! 😄

But yeah, American military is all about that strength through superior firepower doctrine.

It's why I think (personally) everything is almost always multi-purpose now.

Id say the psychological effect is much greater. An A-10 strife your men can shout "cover" and know where it might be coming from.

The specter stays.

"f'ck this s'it!"

A-10s are hardly fun.

It's like a mk19 on steroids.

oh, that is the american achilles heal. From being able to fight out of range to being dependent on it.

Yeah, it's largely using just overwhelming walls of bullets that will eventually hit.

It's a probability game.

Tanks are a different story, but yeah.
