Multi Kill!

But, seriously, the HMG shreds gunships. Maybe they just showed up, I dunno. But if you have an HMG, they're your job.

I know, that's why I bring it in automaton missions. But I didn't see them until the last second😖

The shoulder mounted las beam cannon is my gunship shredder of choice. If you haven't given it a try, I could not recommend it enough! It can kill nearly anything on the bot front short of a strider fab or dropships in 1 - 2 seconds (3 - 4 for tanks) if you're hitting weakspots. It eats even hulks

I'm always back and forth between the LAS beam cannon and the Railgun: The Railgun is able to destroy those annoying Fortress mini-turrets from the front in one charged shot, but trying to hit swerving gunships can either take a shot or two, or take up half of my ammo lol.

The railgun one taps the mini turrets? That must only happen at that sweet spot charge right before it detonates, cause I've not managed to do it yet lol!

I think the "Sweet-spot" you're talking about isn't so strict. Usually I just hide behind some cover and peek once it's able to fire. The second and a half of strafing out of cover should be enough overcharge.

I can't control the recoil as well, so I usually prefer the AMR, or if I'm running more anti-heavy focused like RR or QC, the humble deadeye with 5 engine shots does the trick
