"The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport fixed-wing aircraft. It carries a wide array of anti-ground oriented weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire-control systems."
-Wikipedia

This is my take on the Gunship contest, hosted by Avareth Taika, on the Official Besiege Discord.
It is actually the first aircraft bigger than an Attacker I’ve ever built, and it turned out quite neat.
It comes with an autopilot, which is supposed to keep you circling around a target.

• Turn Main Engine On/Off: -Toggle
  Left Control -Left CTRL

  B – Hold for a few seconds.
• Disengage Autopilot.
  -Press B
  -Press N for a few seconds.

• Block Count:554 blocks. Used to be about 400, don’t know what happened.
• When taking off, it is advised to use the rudders to keep the aircraft straight.
• Stable at level flights.
• Disgusting Roll rate, obviously.
• Good turn rate.
• Has an autopilot
• Accurate proportions as it is built from a 3D Model.
• Mediocre Cockpit Visibility.
• I do know that a second minigun is missing, but that’s okay.

Do know that the engaging the autopilot will not start the circle, but keep the aircraft circling. Roll your aircraft to the left (armament side) and then engage the autopilot.The autopilot will slow you down to help engage targets more easily.The circling radius depends on the bank angle to the left.The circling area is quite large.Disengaging the Autopilot is done by pressing B and N[/quote]
Armament:

The two main cannons’ sights are accurate in their rest position, but only to an extend if traversed. I.E: If you happen to have traversed these cannons all the way Left/Right, the shot will not land exactly where you aimed.The autocannon has a very bad accuracy on auto.
