(ALL CREDIT TO WIZARD2017 For the C-130H Template.) Realizing the need for a new type of gunship designed to attack from head-on, (In mountainous reigions) the U.S. Air Force asked manufacturer Lockheed-Martin to construct this type of gunship. The result was the RC-130j Scrambler. It carried the extra windows from older C-130 variants to boost visibility of the target, but had the body and engines from the C-130j. It is equipped with hundreds of rockets, and 8 air to ground missiles, as well as a minigun carried over from the AC-130. This also means that the cargo bay is empty, meaning it can carry cargo. A drag chute was also added to help slow on short runways. AG1 for cargo door, AG2 for Level Flight, AG4 to start outer engines, AG5 to start inner engines, AG6 to activate drag chute.
