I've controlled those big gunships before, and I must say, it's enjoyable, and does not smack of anything gamey.
I fully agree with this in principle.
There are these as well in the Campaign Series.

Totally unrealistic. The crew don't sit in an aeroplane waiting to open up on attackers...airfield defences do that. Nothing in the military world..as far as I know...is more defenceless than an aircraft on the ground.
This is not their intention, as already explained.
