I think you as a gunner wont see the recoil, because you are looking through a camera that isnt mounted at the gun.

but in pr they could maybe add shaking to the chopper, so the chopper will vibrate heavily while the gun is firing.

or they just at bigger spread to the rounds that the cannon fires.
so you need to compensate the "fake recoil" which is basically bullet spread, by firing carefully and only on a few bursts at the time.

[WhiteRhino]

Yeah, of course I was talking about shaking the chopper much more than the gunner camera (but logically it should since the camera is on the chopper...) . Like we can see in a mod in ARMA 2. I dont know if IRL there is a spread with the canon if you shoot too long with it because of the vibration. Are you sure about that?

[[F|H]Zackyx]

The Gun is already shaking Heavily because of the lack of gun gyro stabilization / FCS
If they add Shaking its going to be impossible for the gunner to hit and in real life there is almost no shaking since they have stabilized electro-optical sensors.

[WhiteRhino]

There is nothing shaking in the attack chopper in PR...

[CR8Z]

It already shows that. Click on a server so its tab opens, then look on the left side. It'll say "Next maps in rotation:" and list the next 3 maps.

I'm sorry, I see that it does that for some, but not all. Just not the one I was looking at when I posted that. Sorry.

If the maps aren't showing it's something the server admin needs to fix... or have them contact AncientMan for help.

How often are you gunner in choppers ? Because what you are saying its like saying there is no salt in the ocean.

The attack choppers don't "shake" as such but with no turret stabilisation to counter any movement from the helicopter it is hard to aim, but if the helicopter is "shaking" its down to the pilot making it shake, or you have a very bad ping/connection

As for is it possible to make the cannon have recoil when fired, yes, the A-10 gun has quite a bit of recoil, if you fire it when on the ground you will start to roll backwards.

[40mmrain]

yes, the pilot's subtle movements are what makes it happen. If you fly perfectly straight, then firing the cannon on the move accuractely is possible, but on a quick pass, the choppers just jitter so extremely, any subtle movement throws off aim completely.

Will the AKM and variants replace the AK47 when/or it's released?

It doesn't work too well though, it only shows the next map in the maplist, and since almost every server has a map-vote it's useless.

Hey devs, I was reading the History section of Project Reality again and I was wondering, do you guys know where the original thread by Project Founder Requiem that started PR in the first place is? It would be very/fairly interesting read.

[Spush]

Maybe on the old Desert Combat forums, but I doubt that's up anymore.

Will sights be added to the KORDs on the door guns of the Mi-8s?

Is there a option to have more armd/transport choopers? Like UH-1Y Venom was on ARMA 2, i was a transport heli but with rockets and guns, so will we have such choopers or u still say no to armed air transport?

In r/l the UH-1Y can either carry passengers or weapons (+ door gunners) as it doesn't have enough engine power to lift both weapons and a bunch of troops.

But yes, you will see some armed transport in the future where its realistic, like with the Hind as per Dev Cast #3.

You're thinking of the UH-1N. UH-1Y has more lift.

[Rhino]

You're thinking of the UH-1N. UH-1Y has more lift.

Not enough to carry a squad into battle however from what I remember you saying, unless you where on about the UH-1N as if you where then that changes things, providing its done in r/l too...

I was on about the UH-1N.

WRT to UH-1Y:

During training, they put 38 rockets, 2 GAU-21s with 500 rounds each, full fuel with full aux fuel bladder, 8 troops and still had the ability to lift another 1,000 lbs. It's an extremely powerful aircraft.

8 troops isn't a full USMC rifle squad, but it is enough for a recon team or SEAL squad.

He also had this to say about their in-game applications, however:

Well, they can do it, but I think they should have them set up like the UH-1Ns. Let the trans pilots worry about trans and the CAS worry about CAS. I could see some really big gagglefucks on the LHD if you have attack UH-1Ys coming in the land and squads jumping on them asking for transport.
