The Goliath, enraged by the attack, began to change its course, moving erratically to avoid further strikes. The pilot of the AC-130, expertly maneuvering the aircraft, kept the Goliath in their sights.
"Adjusting for movement," the Fire Control Officer called out, recalibrating the targeting system to track the Goliath's new trajectory.
In the command center, Richard and his team watched the live feed from the AC-130's cameras.
"It seems that the Goliath is panicking when it can't see what's attacking it," Richard observed. "Spooky-1, use your 40 mike-mike. Aim for its head; it's disoriented."
"Copy that, switching to 40mm," the pilot responded. The AC-130 shifted tactics, unleashing a rapid barrage from its 40mm cannon. The precision strikes were more effective, hitting the Goliath squarely in its head and upper torso.
