Cannot argue with that.
BTW, in various mods they are flyable. Hence my tale of smoking holes in the ground, and um... I was the one laying in the bottom of that hole.
One of the BlitzPigs did a mod AC-47 gunship from the Viet Nam era that was fun to play with. We had a map with truck convoys all over it and we set out at dusk to attack them. Holding the correct altitude and speed and a near perfect circle to keep the guns on target is not an easy thng, even in a slow, lumbering transport.
