So it has been confirmed that the AC-130 is going to be in the armored kill dlc. This should be interesting. http://bf3blog.com/2012/06/battlefield-3-ac-130-screenshots/

No matter how they set it up it should be Epic. Not only will you have to assault ground forces you'll have to fend off attacks from choppers and jets, WIN!

Not sure how this mechanic will work. The AC 130 is faster than helicopters and flys at a high altitude. The game has a low flight ceiling well below the operational altitude of an AC 130. Plus takeoffs would be long and extremely vulnerable even with rocket assistance. Forget about landing that hulk.

I love the idea of employing more of the systems currently in use my military but given the way BF3 is designed I just don't see how this will work. Looking forward to seeing how they deal with those issues - it could be really cool if they just get rid of the flight ceiling.

So that's gonna be ridiculous if your team doesn't have an AC130. It will kinda be like the killstreak in COD except you could essentially have someone spawned into all of the different weapon types and be running all the guns. That's gonna be pretty sick!

Yep, should be pretty cool. I am interested to see how the mobile arty works out. It better have good kill potential.

Well at E3 the dice team answered a few questions about the AC-130. This is what i remember from the video i saw, couldnt find the video anymore.
1. It will have two gunner seats that will be able to deploy counter measures. (so it will be destructible from enemy pilots.)
2. The AC-130 will be given to the team that controls one of the bases on the map (ex. Flag B) so it will bounce between teams if the flag is lost.
3. Which ever team controls the flag that has the AC-130 will be able to use the AC-130 as a mobile spawn point and sky dive out of the plane.
4. If the AC-130 is shot down it will re-spawn for the team controls the flag that represents the AC-130

I am sure this is more but this what I remember and the basics of how the AC-130 will be used. O and I forgot I believe it will not be piloted during the match. So the team that does have it needs to fight for the base and as well fight in the sky's to keep the AC-130 Alive.

Couldn't watch it all - saw the video loop twice - I assume at some point he answers a question of ceiling - from the video it looks like there may be a higher ceiling but it still doesn't look as high as they actually operate - I'm not expert though.

Ceiling is being increased. As far as not flying as high as they normally would....It is a game, not a simulator. Rolling Eyes

Still sounds cool in that you'll have to protect it from enemy air support so there will now be more intense air battles to go with the ground battles.

Pretty sure the new vehicle sets will be on all maps in the DLC but I could be wrong.

I was typing on my iPhone and my fat fingers hit the send button. For some reason there wasn't an edit button so I couldn't adjust the post and I just had to make a new post (the following one). I changed my thought process between posts, so that's why my post is different.

The CQB pack comes out today (6/12) if you have BF3 Premium and it's available in two weeks (6/26) if you don't.

Still on the fence about whether or not I want to get the Premium. I'd hate to pretty much not be able to play with you guys for 2 weeks (due to getting booted from servers when the new maps come up if I don't have them) but we'll see. This may be the factor that tips things in favor of getting Premium.
