They can hit every aircraft in a 3 hex radius, that isn't localized, that covers the entire battle area and then some.

What you really ought to be asking yourself if being on an AC130 makes for compelling gameplay, either for the people on it, or the people getting hit by it. Everything else is honestly irrelevant.

Also, if you're going to pose the question like that, let me ask you this: Do you think 1 guy with a rocket launcher poses 0 threat to an AC130, but 10 guys with a rocket launcher will kill it every single time?
