The reason I made this thread was on Jabal we had a pilot squad and we got 1 too many so I was dedicated gunner on one of the blackhawks. We were trying to help cover the ones transporting troops and at one instance I had to put probably over 2000 rounds through a support truck to kill it and probably put over 1000 through a vodnic before the guy calmly switched to the gunner and shot us down through a rain of minigun rounds right into the gunner's spot. Didn't even scratch him and I did hit him, A LOT.Donatello wrote:I think BH Minigun is too weak against cars in PR
you better call in Henk-squad next time, so I can take care of those vodnik bitzjesSoulja wrote:The reason I made this thread was on Jabal we had a pilot squad and we got 1 too many so I was dedicated gunner on one of the blackhawks.

If you mean shoot AT at them we were on TG and they don't allow anything that is to their disadvantage including AT in the blackhawk. One of the squads were were transporting shot a Light AT out the door and we got warned.Jantje|NL^ wrote:you better call in Henk-squad next time, so I can take care of those vodnik bitzjes
Yea and plus it gives the chopper some defense against vehicles and light armor, but the TG guys were stacked on MEC so it didn't work in our favor. Prolly woulda had both HAT kits in blackhawks if the teams were swapped.zangoo wrote:on battlearena i am always a hat in the chopper and i will fly around, but you really need to have a good pilot and if you do you can really help your team out.
Don't worry mate, I feel your pain and I'm sure most others do to.Soulja wrote:The reason I made this thread was on Jabal we had a pilot squad and we got 1 too many so I was dedicated gunner on one of the blackhawks.

Nah, I reckon just make it shoot two projectiles per shot (buckshot effect), give the projectiles the deviation the gun manufacturer claims the weapons has(ie 6.5 Mil circle accuracy using the modifier: ObjectTemplate.deviation.subProjectileDev 0.1862) and take away the explosion. This will double the damage(impact), give the weapon some spread instead of laser accuracy and give it a more realistic ROF (3600 RPM (effective) vs 1800 RPM).Ablack77 wrote:Bit of extra splash damaged than it has now = problem solved

Yea but due to the low ROF, it's hard to hit anyone when you're flying at 500 mph.....nedlands1 wrote:
By having spread and double the amount of virtual lead coming out of the barrel, you end up not needing the extra or any splash(at least in the case of the M134 miniguns). The other mounted helicopter guns (Kord and the Type 85) are both chambered in 12.7 x 108mm which is basically a longer version of the round that the .50 cal snipers rifles fire. They kill, like the .50 cal sniper rifles, in one hit.
They use both and they will keep on doing it. It looks like the accuarcy with the minigun is better then the m240[R-MOD]dunehunter wrote:Doesn't matter much because the minigun is being replaced. In reality, it uses the M240, I'm not mistaken
