one of my favourite parts of MW1 and 3 and one of my favourite streak rewards in 2 and 3*
*Modern Warfare 1 features an entire mission where you play the FCO on board the AC-130, covering your usual character and other SAS guys on the ground. MW3 revisits that with a scene where you start on the ground, then swap characters to the AC130 FCO and then back. The MW3 version takes place over Paris, during WW3. The AC130 is a multiplayer kill-streak reward in MW2 and MW3. I only get to use it sporadically, since I ain't good enough to get that long a streak and I don't always use the 'care package' reward - a crate that randomly gives you another streak reward, like an AC130, an airstrike or a stealth bomber strike. |

Crew: 13 Officers: 5 (pilot, copilot, navigator, fire control officer, electronic warfare officer) Enlisted: 8 (flight engineer, TV operator, infrared detection set operator, loadmaster, four aerial gunners) I'd use alot of Battleforce 2000 and Sky Patrol here.

Depending on whether you have artillery pieces in your set up. |

It looks cool.
I added Airstrike a couple pages back. Airforce Tactical Air Control Party Specialist. Which is what Tyrese Gibson was in Transformers. Link to the custom and filecard: http://forums.yojoe.com/customs-fan-...pecialist.html What is the difference between an Air Combat Controller and a Tactical Air Control Party Specialist? I have an Air Strike too as well as Jammer as Air Combat Controllers, but the two roles sound the same?

From the Air Force's site:
TACP: Calling in an airstrike on just the right target at just the right time can change the tide of battle. Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Specialists imbed with Army and Marine units and do just that. One of the few true front-line combat jobs in the Air Force, TACP Specialists are known for their ability to bring overwhelming firepower to the battlefield in the form of artillery and air strikes. The training is physically, mentally and technically intense as you'll have to be able to operate under any environmental condition alongside some of the military's most elite special operations teams. Combat Controller: Who sits on a ridge alone outside a hostile city acting as a one-man air traffic controller while at the same time being fully prepared to join the fight if necessary? You do as a Combat Control specialist. Combat Controllers are part of the Air Force's Special Operations team and are FAA-certified air traffic controllers. They operate in remote and sometimes hostile areas helping the Air Force accomplish its mission by directing air traffic and alerting pilots and command of the location of hostile forces on the ground. Full list of Air Force Special Operations: Careers in the Air Force - airforce.com I chose Airstrike to be a TACP because those are the ones that get embedded in ground forces.

They can also set up lights to make landing strips on roads if need be. TACPs focus on directing airstrikes and CAS. Made a custom TACP. Haven't gotten around to making a filecard for him. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...or1-redux.html
