This is pretty cool, but it seems weak... still. All that it takes to destroy these is to fly an actor into their turrets. A simple dummy can rocket into it gently, even, and the turret gibs. Pretty useless in this case.

Also, its aim is lower than a normal actor's feet, so it's only effective versus craft and yet it fires at everything.

For the first problem, I seriously have not had any problems with fragility after I screwed with it. It's still moderately weak but it's not ridiculous. I'm at the limits of the engine here, all the values that cover this are as low or as high as possible and it's still weak.

And I don't know how to fix the aiming part, if it even is fixable.

This thing is pretty weak. You have to be super gentle when dropping it, because it usually shatters the turret, or just kills the whole thing. The only flyable craft I have that's capable of getting this onto the ground with complete control is the Bethesda, but that usually breaks it too.

Okay, it gets pretty lame the fifth time you drop the turret and it just plows through the ground out of the map.
