turrets are an issue. - they are the problem with the current gunship and will still be a problem with any replace - provided we try to keep the small size as much as possible to differentiate from the orca ( main gunboat ).
to make the turrets actually fit the size best, i d have to increase it by at least 10% or more. - but then, it would become easier to hit than the orca. - the transport turrets are on the bigger side of turrets ( around the size of the bretonian turrets ) - so "normal" gunship turrets would look better on it. - not perfect though, but a bit better.
As for balance, I'd like to see that gunship cut down to 4 turrets considering it's size and manuverability. The thing is a pain in the rear to hit no matter what you're flying or what weapons you're using. Should probably also have the hull strength cut down to 30k or so.
