Emplaced Weapon Sights

Okie dokie, love the mod, absolutly the best BF2 mod out, but there is a problem with the emplaced machineguns and guns on the vehicles.
YOu have to aim with the tracers.
I'm wondering if there is anyway to add in sights to the machine guns? Like maybe use C to cycle between looking over the gun, and looking through the sights. Got to admit its kind of annyoing and difficult trying to walk the tracers on the miniguns to the enemy, especially at altitude.
It also ruins your ability for suprise. Let's set up a scenario
Me and someone else are in a MH-60, and I'm on the pilot's side. He tells me about some guys he sees to the right, below me. Im sitting there doing little burst like crazy trying to get the tracers to land on him. And than it takes me like 30 seconds to get that one guy, and while Im trying to group the tracers on that bush he's in, his friends are there, shooting at me, with G3s and RPGs.
See where I'm going with this?
So yeah, sights for the machineguns would be helpful

most of them already have sights.
As for the miniguns, they will most likely be taken out at some point so I don't see anyone 'wasting' time creating sights for them.

Im not sure....

Helicopter is flying anyway so everythin u aimed for is long gone and your rounds are landing far away from a target that you've been aiming for with your sights.

Not when the guy is hovering like he did.
And I realize everything has a sight, but the position of teh camera has it looking over the barrel of the gun, rather htan through the sights

The sights on most of the MG's are decient enough; remember, the vehicle MG's where never supposed to have them in the first place; the devs did a hell of a job simply by moving the camera. It's by chance it even works at all.

As for the emplaced MG's, their sights are so far off nothing can be done for them.

The shooting without sights just takes a while to get used to, just like shooting your rifle from the hip without crosshairs.

Aye, thank god (or humans rather) for tracer rounds

Just follow the tracers, whats so diffilcult about that? Most of the vehicle Mgs have sights anyway!

Its not that I dont follow tracers, its just I want to be able to use sights for the first round before I follow tracers, ya know? I want to have the ability to be sneaky and make as little noise as possible.

You can always paint a dot in the middle of your monitor.
Just make sure you won't by caught by PB!

Now seriously,
You just gotta try to get a feel for the imaginary crosshair. Though, of course, I wouldn't mind an iron scopes on the static guns as well
