Hi!
The problem with applying this to overlord gunships is that the ballon part
of it is self sealing so it doesn't matter if the weapon is a particularly
good armor peircer since it will reseal it self regardless. The actual
gondola has not special rules other than a 1+ save so I'd say not to apply
the damage modifier to its "sealing" capability.
Granted its a toughy to shoot down, but then again it goes with the Squats
defensive character.
