Plans for a rear gun on the Chinook

[ReconAus]

Simple question Do the Devs plan to mount a 7.62x51mm M60 machine gun on the rear ramp of the Chinook like IRL ?

Examples:

British Chinook

Dutch Chinook

Recon

hence why the hatch is open on the renders

[Mongolian_dude]

Rhino, you must, must, must make it have a decent traverse on the GPMG, both up and down!
Using it on the landie is strssful, since you have the same arc of fire of a gas-cooker.

...mongol...

Hmmmm what could of Bob edited? It wouldn't have anything to do with something very specific regarding ammunition could it?...

Recon said 50cal where really its a 7.62mm GPMG that goes on the bk, what bob fixed

[Bob_Marley]

It would point out to readers that the weapon employed on the rear of the chinook is a GPMG, it is not the GPMG (ie, a member of the L7 family ). Its an American M60.

I'm pretty sure it's also possible to fit a minigun on the back

[CareBear]

go for the minigun would be pretty epic

GEEEET SOOOOOOOOOME, GEEEEET SOOOOOOOOME!

dear god no

dear god no

Oh Yes!

[charliegrs]

well its pretty simple to do determine if the chinook should get a minigun or not. does the british chinook use a mini gun in real life? my uneducated guess is no it doesnt. but i could be wrong. however there may be like a SAS varient for the chinook that does but that wouldnt be the one the devs are working on right now.

good god people, I'm already a little worried about the rear gun as it's where probably troops might be popping out, but a minigun?

Soldiers: "Go Go Go"
Gunner: "hold on, CONTACT! stand still, I'll shoot between your legs!"
BRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

You should have m60s on the hueys like they did in Vietnam now that would be epic lol!

[ice_killer]

not again this has been talkd over a miljon times in my chinook topic in community modding

[TopeH]

The M60 would fit there pretty nicely.

And fastropes!!!!

I thought the minigun could only be used in the door mounts due to the need to power the weapon.

Yes that would be epic! I have thought of that many many times.
