Miniguns... more 'mini' than 'guns'

I was not replying to Katarn. I use threaded display mode. Try it, it makes the thread much easier to read.

If you want to keep the linear mode at least use the hybrid to avoid confusion since a lot of people actually use threaded replying.

The realistic Whorehawk miniguns had no place in Vanilla, I am glad they were nerfed. They do have a place in PR, however.

Exactly, it will not be overpowered. It will be a very powerful fire support/suppresion weapon, though. Like it should be.

Well I still think being caught in the middle of tthe desert by a BH should be devastating, but all in it's time.

I use linear mode, its better and easier to read, with out having to click too much.

And posting one after the other with a difference of 1 minute is a waste of space.

That's the problem with hybrid and threaded, you end up replying to outdated posts that someone already rebuked.

AND to people who use liner, it appears you triple post with out quotes.

Sucks. It always goes up to the top of the page when you click a post. How annoying.

Hah... well there are definitely people using threaded posting so there must be a lot of hybrids out there, then.

I just thought Strategist had several split personalities.

The mini-gun's exploding bullets seem unrealisitic. They are not weak - they're good right now but what the minigun can use is some spread. If the minigun had a huge spread, then we wouldn't need exploding bullets since it's grouping should be spread well enough to give a higher chance to hit whatever it is we are trying to kill with it. It'll also work wonders when it come so suspressing people when coming in a hot lz.

I do. :S

I will use quotes from now on so you linear sillies do not get confused.

I suppose you are right, Coolhand. Decreasing minigun accuracy might actually make it more effective!

Edit, you crazy dane! The button is there to avoid such magnitudes of multipost!

Anyway, I think we need to keep the splash damage for miniguns while they're in, and also need to decrease the accuracy as they're laserbeam accurate right now, which can make them rather less effective than they should be.

Spamzor!

Read the Minigun suggestions in the sugestion section, lots of ideas.

I say fix the handling on the blackhawk, it was my favorite vbf2 helo because of how it flew, it's my least favorite in PR.

It does seem to want to speed foward which is good when you want to get to the objective but not so good when you want to land in a smaller area.

Well I think the important thing we should take away from the video with the mini gun vs. the M240 is that neither of them had effective supressive fire. Both targets just stood there like a pylon

See even in real life there is no such thing as surpressive fire.

If we could get dust kicked up like that at least people would not be able to see you clearly enough to shoot back even though we might not hit them
