The other name for gunships?
Far back when I was playing Supreme Commander there were gunships, which could take off vertically and attack only land. I slightly remember that there was another name for them in general that gunship, but cant realise it. Anyone remember?
Stupid question, I know..
Here is picture of what they look like.
