AC-130 Gunship – so far (before the official premiere An-12 Aurora) is the most powerful carrier of artillery armament in the world. Moreover, this equipment has been verified in many conflicts fought in Europe, Africa and Asia, as AC-130 had its baptism of fire in 1967 in Vietnam. Despite his 53 completed years, aircraft is doing well and is continuously updated with new termovision systems, night-vision and modern passive air defense systems. All those aircraft construction changes and improvements have been also included in the game. Our simulator users will have to their disposal newest systems - ANR - 3D-Audio and Active Noise Reduction, ASPS - Aircraft Self Protect System.
Russian An-12 Aurora is armed with powerful howitzer 120 mm, which is the biggest cannon ever assembled in the aircraft. Additionally, feature, that distinguishes this plane is installation of armament in two turrets that are placed under aircrafts fuselage. Application of this idea gives possibility to fire the enemy simultaneously from both sides of fuselage as well as directly from under the plane, which makes construction of this aircraft, in its category, most advanced in the world. Basic characteristics of this plane were transferred from the project from beginning of 90’s, in which the carrier of armament was suppose to be Il-114 (TOP). Additional feature, that puts this innovative construction on 1st place is totally automatized arms loading, which allowed to significantly increase the rate of fire and minimize number of crew to the minimum necessary.
Y-9 Hawk was constructed on a base of manufactured on license aircraft An-12 which construction was self developed by Chinese by changing among others engine, propellers and avionics. Chinese construction is armed in two rapid-fire cannons FCS/25 and FCS/35 caliber 25 and 35 mm and howitzer 105 mm, which makes it a dangerous rival of American AC 130 Gunship. Special fragmentation ammunition, incendiary shells and tungsten core missiles were prepared for the armament.
In this game you will find dozens of scenarios based on true fight missions such as fight with ISIS troops, Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, Operation Restore Hope w Somalia, Operation Allied Force in Yugoslavia, Vietnam War, operation carried out by Syrian army and Russian air force in Idlib province and mission of Chinese Y-9 Hawk during hypothetical border conflict between China and Russia. Game will ensure long hours of exciting skirmishes in nearly all international conflicts of past years.
