Ok so this thread is stupid. I have a mastered gunship. So here's list of what I can do...
1) I can only 1 shout scouts
2) It takes me at least 2-3 hits on a gunship, 4 if they are doing crazy shield shield and repairing with a hydrospanner.
3) Even if I have sensor dampening if the other person has sensor boost crap I still get spoted. Oh and the HUGE GLOWING CLOUD that is surrounding my ship dos not give it away I'm a gunship, maybe the fact I'm not moving will.
4) I can only turn really fast once every 30+ seconds from Rotational thrusters which does not break lock or give me any bonuses so I'm still dead because my turning and speed suck.
I love it how alot of you trolls are complaining about gunships when in reality you mostly suck at GSF in general and are just trying to blame things for your shortcoming.
Everything for the most part is balance and has severe weak points Scouts = No armor/hull so shield pen and they are dead, Strike Fighters = Move for **** and can't avoid lock so if you probe them they are goners and Gunships = If your inside of 7000 meters and moving at all they die.
