Review without version number

Review The Asco is a gunboat that suffers a mildly sluggish nature like most gunboats do. It does, however, have a unique loadout one has to aquire a taste for. While its front guns can look in entire 360 degree vantages, the rear guns can not face directly ahead. It has a small 45 degree wedge cut into the rear guns' ability, which emcompasses the front of the ship and slightly down below. While it can fire foreward, it suffers if a target keeps low and center, where only the four frontal guns can aim. This ship is devastating if a vessel decides to flank it's top, or rear bottom. The rear guns and frontal guns having full reign so that at least four guns fire at one time. Directly behind the ship, all six guns may fire freely. While obviously the top frontal guns can not aim down, and the bottom frontal guns cannot aim upwards. This vessel is worthy of it's place as a pirate's gunboat to interdict convoys on it's own, or support fellow pirates in combat.
