Why are there Ac-130s then? GBs have a place in BAI and SEAD but CAS needs plinking ie the A-10.  F-35 is low density (expensive fewer being purchased) and low loiter compared to the A-X proposal. Bombers are even less available and necessary for Strategic bombing. USMC KC-130 carrying a 30mm in a door and some cargo door deployed bombs and wings is fine for LIC but not in HIC. KC-130 are refuelers first.
