They certainly circle the target hex and fire into it, and given the number of weapons on the aircraft and the number of times they fire one would expect them to obliterate everything in the target hex. Sadly this has not been the case in my experience. I used them several times in Vietnam era scenarios and counted myself lucky if they caused one or two casualties to a squad and only recall a single instance where one destroyed a vehicle. But as with anything I'm sure others have seem them decimate regiments single-handedly.

Don,
To be clear...
1. Target hex orbit circle cannot be expanded out 200 meters around the hex.

2. Can only attack one target per turn while on the game screen.

3. Will have to rethink options for submission to include at the extreme recommending deletion based on normal operational orbit while attacking targets which is at ~5NM. There are other enhancements I can move forward with though as well. But I like them.

Suhiir,
It is my understanding that the 7.62mm twin Gatling guns carried on AC-47 "Puff the Magic Dragon" could drop a round every square foot along it's "run line" a few feet deep/wide. Things got better with the more capable AC-119 SHAWDOW and STINGER gunships leading to SPECTRE. Basically "Pops" and his friends @ the VFW were grateful to be able to have fond memories of some of what "Puff" did in the field over there, and are my reference for how effective they were at removing small trees, bushes and mowing down the grass and anything that moved in it. I guess based on that it's almost the perfect yard maintenance tool (Though expensive!) and will keep that annoying neighbor in check as well!?! Anyway might need to rethink these a little on target effectiveness. Can see Jets and Planes already slipping into the abyss of next year.

Don,
This is at your leisure to answer, just something I "stumbled upon", is there a difference between the
Rifled 100mm D10T Ro95 game carried on Romania's TR-85M1 NATO upgraded tank vs Rifled 100mm A308? This pertains to UNITS 17 & 18. Also I can thus far find no reference to a MK II type as Unit 18 represents pending further investigation on my part. For everyone else here's one of my refs to show the tank in question which is a highly modified T-55 brought up to NATO standards with exception of the main gun.
