As for making a new BH model with sliding doors; PR itself is of course a mod, with a lot of new vehicles added etc; if the Devs have the time on their hands, wouldn't this be a positive step?

Now I'm just wondering; but first, let me explain my reasons for bringing this up... Today, I lasted pretty much ALL ROUND on Jabal Al whatever (the one with the W/E Beach and Dam, US vs. MEC) being a well-coordinated dropshiper pilot in the Blackhawk; ferrying my squad and other squads constantly to new locations.

Towards the end of the game, I ended up crashing into a mountain whilst on a 'stealth' mission with a squad, because I was busy typing (thus no chopper control) to the idiot on the gun to stop blasting it into the sky and giving away our position.

Would it be possible to add a key that the pilot of transport choppers can press to 'lock/unlock' firing modes on the cannons? (A bit like permission to open fire from higher command etc), because it's annoying enough when some c*ckend is firing aimlessly in your ear, and even moreso when you're trying to go undetected, but instead end up crashing because you were telling him to STFU!

My other idea is something I've had since the start of vBF2; would it be possible to make the Black Hawk doors open/closeable to protect the crew inside, and maybe add some increased manouverbility to the 'Hawk? I know for one I'd prefer to be behind a metalic door when being a BH passenger, than having the chance to fire back on the squad using small arms fire against the crew.
