 Similar drop tactics may be pursued by transporting a heavier unit like the [[Dante]] with a Hercules. If you don't want to lose the units you're dropping, retrieve them with transports or a [[Djinn]] beacon.
-More esoteric uses of transports include dropping bombs like the [[Snitch]] or [[Skuttle]] on enemy targets, or stunning a high-value target like a [[Crabe]], [[Grizzly]] or [[Commander]] with Gnats then abducting it with a Hercules.

 Your first priority against Gunships is to fend off the initial raids by Locusts and Blastwings, while continuing to expand and pressure them in return. Locusts fly quite low so unlike most air units they are quite vulnerable to the [[Lotus]], and [[Picket]] are also effective in larger numbers. You might also need mobile anti-air to protect your constructors.
-If you are using Airplanes against a player with Gunships, avoid a direct fight unless you have a substantial numerical advantage - Tridents are very strong against your fighters. They can't move fast enough to deal with bombing threats on multiple fronts, so focus on supporting your ground forces with bombing runs. You should still keep some fighters to contest the skies if the gunships enter your territory.

 === Beating Gunships ===
-Anti-air units or structures which deliver high sustained damage-per-second are generally more effective against Gunships than those with high burst damage. The [[Razor]] is pretty cheap and very tough, though you will need more than one to deal enough damage to a large Gunship fleet. The [[Cobra]] is more expensive but its flak cannon inflicts area-of-effect damage. The range of the [[Chainsaw]] and [[Artemis]] makes them effective against any air threat, though they are more expensive.

The range of the [[Chainsaw]] and [[Artemis]] makes them effective against any air threat, though they are more expensive.
 In terms of mobile anti-air, the [[Ettin]] and [[Toad]] are most effective against Gunships. In permissive terrain, the speed of the [[Crasher]] and [[Flail]] gives them an edge despite being burst-damage based AA. The [[Gremlin]] is effective in bulk if their passive cloak is abused to set traps for enemy Gunships.
