These guys are incapable of any serious re-enactment. If they had been using AC-130's the SAM's in the area would have blown them out of the sky. Captain Clarke was piloting a Cessna 02 Skymaster and not an OV-8 Bronco. The A-4's and F-105's were only used to strike targets picked by Hambleton himself during his evasion, and not as an effort from keeping the NVA from capturing him, except for when his rescue Jolly Green was shot down. The decision was made to destroy the village since it contained heavy weapons.

Your pylon turns are getting better. It would help if they put in the targeting HUD from the Spectre. Then you'd see why it's the most accurate gun platform in the air.

It's a shame the AC-130 DCS model doesn't have the sideways-facing sighting system, but that would need a sensor team in the back of the aircraft. AC-130 are at their most effective when setting up a pylon turn at medium altitude and adjusting the circle radius dependent on the weapon system being used, rather than strafing from low level. A CSAR mission like that would benefit from some A1 Skyraiders, slow enough to engage and re-engage within a very short space of time and tough enough to absorb a lot of the ground fire. A dedicated airborne FAC should be calling the shots throughout, but that's just my hot take.

Cap, your visual references are limited based on the strategy that you are currently using. If possible, have the target aircraft place smoke in a straight line using two smoke bombs during a single run. The first bomb should be placed in front of the baddies on a directional line and a second smoke bomb should be placed behind them. Thus, your target area will now be everything between the two clouds of smoke along the directional line created by the smoke bombs. I believe this strategy will increase the accuracy of your mission guidelines.
