The fan is in your face, gunners are not. The fan is on even in peace time work, gunners are not. The fan is cool... gunners are useless, thus uncool.

Very keen on the fan animations but super keen on door gunners.

 

I'm hoping for 2 side gunners, a rear gunner, and a nose gun for the engineer. That would be fantastic fun.

 

I'm also hoping we get a selection of a few different gunner weapon options such as KORD, dshkm, 30mm grenade launcher, PKT.

It includes chains of mine arms if the system of a mining is installed,

at us it is not established.

In real the helicopter is simply equipped additionally, put the Control panel by mine arms in a cargo cabin, and after a suspension bracket of containers with mines, are ready to application.

Grenade launcher out of a helicopter door is less than worthless, I've done it and it's a dismal failure. (HK-69)

 

I don't care either way if such things are added to our Mi-8, but I don't think your experience can be used for such a broad statement. The US Coast Guard fires sniper rifles from helicopters at the engines of moving boats to stop them if they don't cooperate. It's surprisingly effective. The use of helicopters and tranquilizer guns is also fairly common for tagging large predators. Both are bound to be a hell of a lot harder than lobbing a grenade in the general vicinity of a target. This is especially true when talking about vehicle mounted automatic grenade launchers instead of single shot handheld ones.

 

I'm not saying any of this is easily done, I'm sure it's very difficult. But with proper training and a little natural talent, it is certainly doable.

 

In any case, thanks BST for continuing work on the Mi-8. It's already a great module, but putting all these finishing touches on it is much appreciated.

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how grenade launchers work here. I've carried snipers on our helicopter before, I know their capabilities.

 

I'll just say this, if you think it's fine to just saturate an area with imprecise grenade fire, keeping in mind that the area can only be a few hundred meters away from the helicopter, then you guys are totally right. From an altitude of approximately 300 feet, the max range for a grenade launcher out of the helicopter is about 300 meters. If that seems like an effective strategy to you, then I'll back you there.
