I know its bad form to post when one has as many un-replied/unread comments as i, yet i felt obliged to post something serious after such a long absence of sci-fi 3d.
So this little one is a proposal for the Antaren Imperial Army's atmospheric gunship within the Angels Fall First Universe.
The large vertical module at the front is essentially a giant gimbaled turret. Inside stands the gunner, while the pilot reclines in the main fuselage.
The idea is based off of a really really old concept, which I sadly no longer have in webveiwable form, that i did back in high school.
Nice design, if disconcertingly similar to one of the air to ground vehicles in Earth 2160 (it's the front turret). Mind you, if you came up with it first
The huge turret increases drag too much to operate well in an atmosphere, I think. It also gives the gunship a huge target profile. It would be better to put the gunner behind the pilot, like in an F-14 or Apache Helicopter. Then you could put the turret flush with the fuselage and put each of the guns on gimbaled turrets. If you made the front edge smaller than the back edge, you could stagger the turrets, allowing maximum firepower on a single target, especially if you gave the gunner a good HUD and a Target Acquisition Designation Sight (a helmet that's linked to the guns so that they point wherever you look).
