Due to restrictions in the game code gunships are for flavour only they cannot operate as they should do so are not at all dangerous.
Its basically a spotter plane that attacks the hex its plotted to circle on rather than searching for a target near the plot. Therefore if there is nothing in the hex it becomes a very expensive spotter plane.

As its the only unit that operates that way its not worth fixing because you can buy a spotter & cheap ground attack plane for less than the gunship.
