I suggested that the pilot has to arm the miniguns like IRL that would solve all the problems and don't ask me what happened to the thread ...
btw. welcome to the PR pilots-world. Thats one of the things why I don't play PR on a public server although im running one of the most populated server

Well you should add some .50 cals so they stand a chance against other choppers.

The removal of the guns isn't the difficult bit; I worked out how to do that after 15 minutes of drunkenly selecting bits of the UH60 in BF2ed and hitting the delete key
The tricky part (for me) is finding the bit of code that forces a player in a specific seat to be in the same squad as the #1 player, and popping it into the BH.

well i dont know whats wrong with replacing those mini guns and just put some seats ! or perhaps make the seats the way they are and remove the mini guns ! that will leave a hatch for the guys on those seats to get a look around
. alot of idea's can be replaced with the mini guns !

Yeah, I can remove both miniguns very very easily. What I'd prefer to see is a single gun mounted over the left-hand door, that requires the occupant to be in the same squad as the pilot. Bingo, much better solution

well if u can show us a small preview of that , that would be awesome
but we still need to get the dev's and the mates approval for this
this is just a couple of guys idea ! i suggest a poll

DEVs have largely been in favour of removing the M134 for years; I'm amazed it hasn't happened already tbh. Wouldn't worry about a poll.
Can't preview it as I've no idea how to find the code that forces players to be in the same squad in a vehicle, nor how to code it from scratch! My knowledge of BF2 coding and the BF2 editor is virtually nill

ya but if you removed the door guns the BH and the mi-17 would end up like the merlin, which i think actually needs door guns

My suggestion is just to remove one - which allows a single gun to be bought to bear on legitimate targets, but stops the "BIG FAT TARGET, OVER HERE!" fire that is the hallmark of 95% of current BH/Mi-17 support gunning.
