Gunship

Gunship is an action-oriented flight simulator centered on piloting an Apache helicopter gunship through missions across seven regions, including the USA, Southeast Asia, Central America, the Middle East, and Western Europe.

Mission and Combat

Before each sortie, the pilot selects a region, style, and enemy level before receiving primary and secondary objectives. Missions can include destroying enemy headquarters or supporting friendly troops by attacking nearby targets.

Weapon loadouts include AGM-114 Hellfire missiles for hard targets, FFAR rockets for soft targets, and HEDP ammunition for the 30 mm cannon. AIM-9 Sidewinders are also available in several regions as a backup air-to-air weapon.

Tactics and Career

Pilots can use hills for concealment and attack cautiously, or fly low and aggressively to deliver close-range cannon attacks. Flight time affects mission evaluation, while enemy fire can damage systems and eventually cause engine failure and emergency landings.

Forward Area Resupply Points provide rearming, refueling, and repairs. Returning to the Home Base ends the mission. Successful pilots can earn promotions and medals, including the Purple Heart, Air Medal, Bronze Star, Silver Star, Distinguished Service Cross, and Medal of Honor.
