[0966] MEC LB helfire

On Burning sands, when the MEC have the two attack LBs with Hellfires.

Copilot in charge of the missiles only gets LGs, which is fine i guess.
90degrees left and right view, but only 2 degrees down angle?????


ALso, two miniguns visible on the sides, but no option to switch to them... pilot nor copilot.

The view is supposed to be like that, you have to fly the helicopter in position for the gunner to fire. And those are not miniguns on the sides between the missiles, rofl.

What are they. They look like machine guns. The 90 degree view makes no sense without any down angle... Not to mention the absolute rape and beating you get from the opposite factions attack chopper.

You gotta hit&run, pop up behind hill, shoot your hellfires and run.
The chopper is much smaller and much more agile than the bigger choppers

Was Gazelle even changed in this release? Isn't it the same as in 0.95?

Kiowa copilot can look down, so its easy for the copilot to just see anything around. Mec gazelle cant and is forced to do things on the go. This is the first time we have encountered this chopper. Its agile as hell, but im reporting to see if this was intended, so if it is then alright. Also, what hills? burning sands? Hills? what? Are they ninja hills? :)

The things on the side that look like cannons, what are they?

afaik they are just part of the mounting system

however I will grant you that they look gun-ish

I'll ask an MA to confirm the gunner viewrange
