AC-130 targeting
 
AC-130 could target ONLY one unit in a COMPLETE RUN in current version, and after the targeted unit destroyed, it just hovers around and wastes ammo on the wreck or empty tile:doh:

Could it auto-target another unit after the targeted unit destroyed in next version? I think it deserve this for its high cost and high risk.

I think it could be a good unit if with a cost reduce and auto-target other units ^^ as if so, it could wreck havok behind enemy line on some big map.

You should not forget the suppression effects on the surrounding hexes.

For precisely that reason I don't use them, they are a waste of points same as auto cannons are now.

Wot's an autocannon? Sounds like a battlemech weapon.

Please let me clarify myself. I do not mean that auto cannons are never usefull, I have used them to devastating effect at times the same as you have. I mean that they don't carry enough ammunition to justify their relitvly high cost and are therefor a waste of points.

Sincerly,

this godamn IE doesnt have spellcheck :mad: (I'm at work)

Your right about the Bradley, it actually does have enough ammo.

Thats a really good idea about the resupply :):up:
