Doesn't work if you get doubled though. Interesting
enough in the age of sail ships could only fire a
broadside from one side at a time as they only had
enough crew to man the guns on one side.
The original idea reminds me of puff the magic dragon
converted dakota gunship thingy which circled its target
and blew it to pieces in vietnam. As long as you had air
superiority it worked.
