Sa-342 Sniper team

[Silver_Dragon]

Polichop team, on the early access talk about future options on Gazelle. The Sniper team of future Sa342 update will be a deployable new troop to DCS: W (CA compatible) or only has passenger into the helo? if them, Can we use them to fire as UH-1 MGs or only AI troops gunner or decorative dummy?

Interesting question

[BaD CrC]

I hope this will be like the Huey gunners, but with a scope (like in CA)!!

Uber awesome assassinations missions inbound!!!!!

[Silver_Dragon]

Not bad, but I prefer a CA deployable unit (DCS W Call of Duty :D ).

Any news on this topic?

They aren't doing anything on this module, aside from a few bug fixes, until the Kiowa is released. And even then I doubt it. I just got this helo with the bundle and there aren't even any Persian Gulf instant action missions lol..... even the FREE the community A4E has PG instant action missions.

Maybe ED needs to develop the snipers first. We are missing snipers in general, because there are only normal infantery units.

The sniper team was announced as a bonus a few years ago. Due to the fact that infantry, the general damage model of most units and being limited to guns that move only up, down, left and right instead of a true first person immersive experience, we decided to release the doorless minigun variant instead.

 

@Relic: We're working on a complete PBR texture overhaul, new flight model and some other new features besides the bugfixes.
