New miniguns

[Darkcloak2]

You could throw a pair of tits on a man and take pictures, but does that mean that all men have tits?

LOLZ! Quoting now...

Back on topic, I agree that replacing the miniguns with M240 would be much more realistic as only a small portion of blackhawks actually use miniguns. If the minigun were to stay in use, then perhaps create 2+ guns to address the ROF problem?

The only regiment that regularly uses the M134 minigun is the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. All others use either the M240 or the M2HB.

AFAIK, both Alex and me were talking about the HC2; the British variant of the Chinook...

And one picture doesn't satisfy as proof.

Picture!? I gave the official site of the RAF as a source. What better source can you think of?
But personally, I don't like the minigun, so the M240/ M2 would be nice to see.

I wasn't addressing the RAF with my post, only branches of the US military.

I recall that the minigun on the blackhawk will eventually be replaced by a more appropriate and realistic M240

How about the addition of M-240's on the Huey?

well i know id like to shoot a minigun in a blackhawk instead of a m240. come on u want it too dont ya?

[Alex6714]

Yeah I would rather shoot a Gau-8 out too.

[Wicca]

yes but what is more realistic?!?

This isnt about what we want? is it? Its about what is right, what is correct.

That's usually a problem too. Just the word mini-gun makes a lot of people even more triggerhappy. (shooting randomly for example) M240's are much more...'boring' for them. So I'd rather have a M240 on the heli I'm flying, instead of a mini-gun. The M240 is effective, but less interesting for triggerhappy people, which is a good reason for me to get a M240 on the heli's rather then the miniguns.

[Alex6714]

A little off topic, but the ROF for the A-10 is definitely too high. Shooting it for more then a few seconds gives you and other players on the map turbo lag.

Wut? Never had that. Although if you have a not so fast computer the explosion of the projectile will lag you, it emits way way too much smoke due to the rof, because its using a material effect it shouldn´t be.

[TheLean]

Well if we put the m240 on the BH they will be as useless as the machineguns on the mi-17. Which might be a point if we want both sides to have equally useless guns. What is really the problem with shooting from a helicopter btw, why is it so damn hard? it feels as if the bullets never go where you aim them..

i thought that door guns were only really used for suppression fire when going into and out of a hot lz.

in rl when yer chuggin along in a HC2 doing 170knots and u realise theres a target, its already 300 yards behind u.

personally i would like to see the mini's taken off the blackhawks, it would stop ppl using them as mini ac-130's, last week i was playing an insurgent map and some noob was just spraying rounds all over the place with no target ID'ing so wiping out friendlys.

add a ammo limit to the minigun! remember one of the ideas of this suggestion is to bring up the air support element of the minigun
