ideas for actual gunships

[bigcrap757]

Hi everyone, I wanted to talk about an idea I had for gunships. Currently, gunships are really attack helicopters with one weapon and not actual gunships. I think a good way to add some more variety to this game is by adding a type of ground support aircraft with around 2-3 weapons instead of just one. These would be called heavy gunships or just gunships and the current gunships would be called attack helicopters or light gunships. A trade-off for having a large amount of firepower would be having no anti-air and moving slowly, and they would be accessible at T3 air factories. If you want to have a better idea of what type of gunship I'm talking about, look up the AC-130 spectre gunship that exists in real life. I want to know your thoughts on this and some ideas between factional differences between these gunships.

What types of weapons do you want to put on these gunships?

"What types of weapons do you want to put on these gunships?"
The weapon types would vary depending on the faction, like artillery cannons for UEF and rapid fire chainguns for the Cybran.

Actually the Hercules Spectre counterpart in FA already exist in aBlackOps mod.

"Actually the Hercules Spectre counterpart in FA already exist in aBlackOps mod."
Do all factions have a gunship like that though?
Also thanks for telling me I didn't know that.

Modding this game is ridiculously easy. This sounds like a good idea for a mod that expands the air play in this game.

Only UEF have this T4 big brother.Cybran originally also have a T4 gunship of course.
