Looks nice, I like the idea of mounting the rocket pods there. My only criticism would be that to aim the AC the craft would need to alter the angle of it's wings, which would affect how it flies. So aiming down would cause the gunship to hurtle towards the earth, and if it wanted to hover the guns would be pointing vertically upwards, which aren't much use.

this is an unaerodynamic brick outhouse incapable of flight to begin with. I don'y think the lack of realistic placement of the weapons will have an appreciable impact on this things realistic performance.
This looks much better than the original, but.. it's still a "stormguppy"

I really like the placement of the assault cannons on the wings rather than under the nose...but I feel like the missile pod placement makes it look even more boxy than it already does...Not sure where I'd place them instead...maybe do some mods and place them on the sides of the nose near the front of the craft?
