Overview

The Spectre Gunship is the Tier-3 aircraft: a heavy airframe that circles its target and rains sustained cannon fire with splash. It needs a Radar Station and an Advanced Airbase, and it costs as much as a small army.

How to use

One Spectre orbiting a fight tips it: it damages every armor class well and keeps firing while it circles. Use it to grind down an army or a base once the enemy's SAMs are gone; do not fly it into intact air defense, where its size makes it an easy target. Repair it between sorties.

Counters

SAM Launchers, SAM Sites and Fighters, which out-range and out-turn it. It counters ground armies of every kind and fortified positions.
