the gunship is neatly rebalanced next version - since i "can" limit fire arcs... two of them do not fire purely front anymore, but leave a 10 degrees total front as a blind spot. - while that might not be much, it has the neat effect that... if the target goes from the upper half of the screen to the lower half, the turrets make a full backwards spin, hence... they don t fire while they spin around.
furthermore, the gunship is a lot easier to hit next mod, cause it is - like the BHG bomber quite a target from the side.
( or at least so its planned - fine tuning is not in my hands )
about cap 8 armour on it - if someone has the cash. - like i said, for me, it feels wrong - but if i was flying one of them, i d prolly feel unsafe to die from a single SN. - so, i cannot blame anyone for it ( rather pity them for trading their *** off )
