The AC-130U Spooky is a ground attack aircraft jointly developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The latest in the famed AC-130 line, the AC-130U was built to respectively replace & assist the AC-130A and AC-130H gunship fleets, as well as a multirole aircraft capable of assisting conventional & special ground forces at unison.

This leviathan act like a real AC-130 gunship. With very high lift area, you can slow down and forget about piloting, then change to the gunner cam and rain death to the enemy below.

Originally started in May 2016, this plane creation were put into hiatus mode for several times because it encountered a lot of severe problems. First were the lack of inability to fly very slow without losing altitude. Strydom solved this with the new engine design and fuselage. Too bad it caused it to lag.

Second were the Minigun are not functioning properly. It's very easy to break and have a relatively low power. Genius combined mind of Drako and Neutex solved this by adding complicated bracing and gearing inside it.

Third were the bug in 0.3 which reset the gun power to 1.00 when lit by torch. Good thing it was fixed now. Recent patch also fixes the tendency to randomly exploded rocket pods.

The last one were the lack of my motivation to finish it because the lag it caused from the inefficient wing design and unreliable weaponry. VermillionBoulderIndividual increasing weapon accuracy, fixing unseen problems, finished and polished the plane.

Now after four months sitting on my PC, it's ready to upload, be aware that the block count is still high, you will definitely need to scale the time down to reduce the lag.
