if the sparrowhawk is a tru gunship then why would it be used as air support and air escort, gunships are slow and bulky so they are relitvly bad at fighting off other aircraft so they can relly only by used once air supriorty has been gained; a gunships primary purpose is to attack ground units with overwelming force, and generally have only a few air to air weapons for self defence. I can see the hornet as a gunship with its slow speed and massive power, but the sparrowhawk is more manuverable and is used as air support and air escort, so therefore it would be a strikefighter not a gunship. the role of gunships seems to be very easily fit by a pelican.
