Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Would the gunship aircraft not work better if they were changed to ground attack class? especially now they are missile armed (Griffins and Hellfires, I believe)

The gunship UC circles the target, The other air unit classes don't aside from spotter aircraft

Yes, I understand that - but the gunship currently can only fire at the one hex not even when it sees a juicy target a couple of hexes away. Whilst converting the AC-130 to a ground attack class loses the "circle the target hex" it does mean it can strafe and/or fire missiles at stuff it "sees" nearby the assigned hex.
