Default Re: Gunship Aircraft vs Tank Mount AA Guns

Circling Gunship aircraft exist soley for Vietnam type scenarios to fire at targets that have little or no way of firing back. If the enemy has tanks or serious AAA capability, its not a target for gunships.

Gunships circle a target hex and blast that with area fire. Basically, grunt bashing as in "Puff the Magic Dragon".

Thus gunships should be used at night, in a scenario against an enemy tailored for them (Basically terrorist/insurgency forces).

Like level bombers and paratroops they are not there for regular play with mainstream armies.
