Turret is on the bottom deck. You only get one ability (Full Autofire which essentially channels bullets for 6 secs. Aiming can be a little tricky to start with, but when the bullets hit the building, you'll see dust fly up which can help with aiming. Also note that destroying the cannons will cause them to explode killing nearby mobs.

Loot above doesnt seem quite accurate, i got as an arms warrior Gunship Armory Greataxe.

If you fall down, there is a portal directly beneath the ship.

I got a bit exuberant when firing then when completed i fell to my death lol and yes there's a handy portal just underneath :D

If you fall down there is a red *glowing* portal at coords: 31.46 x 11.72 that will take you back to the Airship. You can also use the map and go to the "?" or the exclamation mark "!" --- and look for the portal on the ground, by the river. - EDIT: The portal will disappear once you have finished the quests on the Airship. Just checked to verify and it is gone. - Peace out!

The horde version of the quest has a 1 second cooldown on its skill. The alliance version of the quest has a 6 second cooldown on its skill (not to mention you have to follow a long scripted event). In the 6 seconds it takes for the alliance skill to recharge once, you can almost finish the horde version of the quest.

The horde panda would like to say, "For the horde!"

The co-ordinates for the portal for getting back to the airship are actually 31.11.. The portal is red..

I do not understand why, if it is a matter of latency, frames per second, my addons*, or a combination of the three; but whenever I start firing missiles in the Gunship Turret (when I first hop on one) I get lag spikes and Battle.net Disconnections. As I type this, I am encountering these issues. If this is an obvious bug, I'd wonder if anybody else could report this.

*Note: I use the addons Altoholics and Recount. I get error messages from Swatter (part of Altoholics addon) when Recount's DPS meter spikes. Because I can inflict massive DPS in all of a split second, I wonder if that causes FPS/latency issues, or if perhaps the issue is some sort of addon overload. Please reply to this comment if you get similar results in this situation. Thank you.

Quick extra note: as I was firing off the turret post-disconnection, I had another 'lag spike' which was followed by 12 frames per second (not terrible) but ever so often minor 'glitching'. Anybody else encounter this?

Changed to a mini-gun turret from a rocket, with less splash (Area of Effect) damage meaning less accuracy, but a more consistent rate of fire, it does not actually deal direct damage to the enemies, so much as kill on contact. No more lag when running the Recount Addon Realtime Graphs!
This is perhaps as of patch 5.2 and on the PTR patch 5.7.2, to my knowledge. Currently doing the quest myself.

Take an extra look at the items you get from this quest, every one is a rare transmog model that you probably haven't seen around that much lately (most dropped back in wotlk raids), and all of them show off your horde pride!

Comment by Hawkyyy

Anyone else notice this quest has changed slightly, i swear the cannon you use wasn't a Machine Gun and was a single fire attack and you could spam missiles, now its a channeled machine gun...

Wonder why it was changed?

I fell out of the ship, hearthed, and then got lost... (hordie)
The portal in org didn't even appear to me.
If this happens to you, go back to the ship northwest of org named "Hellscreams fist",
abandon and retake the quest.

I have encountered a bug that prevents me from finishing this quest playing as demon hunter for Horde. I'm killing these humans and destroying these cannons with this turret and the counter doesn't go up. I do exactly like on many videos. Anyone else had it?

Comment by lazarcze

guys what to do when the General Nazgrim doesnt offers me quest?

Comment by Simoneelke

If you fall of the ship just get back to the portals.
Portal in Ogrimmar, center of the Valley of Honor.
Portal in the forest, just beneath the ship, north of Honeydew Village.

This is my first time doing quests in Mists of Pandaria. I was doing this Paint it Red quest and after I got my 80 kills I was auto-ejected and it threw me off the ship and I died on the ground below. I figured maybe it was because I was lagging hard or that maybe I somehow caused my fall to death. Is this what everyone else is referring to below when they say, "if you fall..."? I didn't fall, I was thrown off! Lol *sighs*

Anyhow, luckily I was able to use my flying mount from level 60 training to fly back up to the airship to complete the quest.
