Make them at the same level as the Logistics Dropships, but a different category (no passengers, 2 guns, a pilot and gunner) Don't make a militia version.
Thanks
Edit:
Please make the pilot gun a large turret
and the aiming controls like this classic mod for BS1942 - Desert Combat.

Multiple camera views would be welcome.
Notice how easy a swarm launcher would lock on and take this out. |

I'm happy for fighters. I hope they're not just jets, but actually dropship fighters. Both would be good, but if I have to choose, give me a dropship fighter. |

A narrow version of dropship with chin turret would be nice, like UH-1 Huey(dropship) to AH-1 Huey Cobra(attack ship).
For chin gun, how about a heavy slot. heavy slot weapons are weaker then small vehicle weapons right? So slightly reduced firepower from dropship, but some under pilot control. Gunner could aim wing mounted swarm launchers, two launchers grouped to fire together directly ahead of ship. Being guided the missiles would turn to the target the gunner selected, using synthetic vision sensors of dropship this would be in 360degree arc including straight up and down.
This would also remove the tower camping people seem to hate, campers would be easy target for gunship. The gunships can't camp as well themselves, due to needing to return to supply area to rearm, and the lighter weapons load. Fit modern attack chopper anti-armour/escort transports role well.
+1 for a large turret, but I'd prefer it be the pilot like the tanks, and the gunner/gunners be support fire. I'd probably want a fixed turret for the pilot at an angle out of the front of the ship so our flying would aim the gun.
And yes, hoverships are easy bait for swarm launchers and forge cannons when they sit around. It would also give pilots something to do to earn SP. |

Here's an example youtube video of how the primary fire for the vehicle should be, basically like the classic mod Desert Combat

Helicopters were amazing in that game. Hard, but worth the time it took to learn how to fly them. |

soonTM dropships already are damn good at being an "attack chopper" just because u the pilot arent gettin most of the kills dont mean it doesnt already fulfill that role
Then tell the US Army that Blackhawks are all they need and to stop using Apaches. Completely different role. |
