Combat notes

Air combat

Gilgamesh a very maneuverable plane for its size. It is also very durable capable of shrugging of incoming machine gun rounds without sustaining much damage. But it has a less than ideal energy retention so either go for a head on attack or turn fight the enemy fighter and let the turret do the work.

Ground attack

Gilgamesh has 2 cannons powerful enough to sink a small aircraft carrier on the turret so just tilt toward the ship and use the cannons but Aero-Howitzers and rocket also work too.
