Mi-8 Gunner Controls

[tovivan]

Did anyone else notice "gunner controls" suddenly appearing in the Controls menu with 1.5.5? It's right next to Mi-8 Sim and Mi-8 Game controls. There's also an option to jump into gunner's seat by pressing "4", but it's not working.

Gunner? The door gunner or the aft gunner with 12.7mm? Or the flight engineer firing gun from cockpit?

 

Or even using the AGS-17A or AGS-30?

I hope Mi-8 has all the gunners available to use. It will be a much better module than it already is.

[MauganRa84]

There should be 2 waist gunners, a nose gunner, and a rear gunner.

[TomCatMucDe]

damn it, if this comes with multicrew I would dance for you and send you my vid!

[edineygomes]

There should be 2 waist gunners, a nose gunner, and a rear gunner.

 

And the flight engineer :)

[Looney]

I don't think there will be that many gunners. I expect a side-door gunner and a rear gunner. That's about it if you ask me.

[Rogue Trooper]

Nose, port, starboard and rear gunner would be pig damn SUPERB!

 

But probably as looney says. Port and Rear gunner.

 

Still, I can prey that belsimtek will transform this incredible module into a nasty and Vicious troop carrier!

[Cibit]

Imagine a side door Dushka and a rear mounted KORD or NSV:thumbup:

Pilot, that is great news! :thumbup: I've been waiting for this for 3 years. :pilotfly: If I ever come to Moscow are you the person to turn to for a flight in a Mi-8? ;)

[MauganRa84]

Mi8 most definitely has a nose mounted PKT for the flight engineer to use.

 

Plus two waist gunner (atleast one).

 

And a rear gunner.

[terence44]

We arrive there, slowly but surely !! :)

A Nasty tool out both sides... oh my!

 

I would hurt myself if such a monstrous thing became reality! :devil:

[Skjold]

Mi-8 gunners is a long awaited feature for me, great news!

[Rogue Trooper]

I will get an olive branch in which I will hurt myself if such a monstrosity becomes reality. :D

[PilotMi8]

I hope Mi-8 has all the gunners available to use. It will be a much better module than it already is.

Two gunners will be available:

- door gunner with KORD 12.7-mm

- aft gunner with PKT 7.62-mm

Both controls by AI. But door gunner has the ability to be controlled by the player

P.S. Nose gunner (nose PKT) was not develop (little use in the game, but a lot of costs and worsens visibility of the ground for player during landing)

It will mean a LOT getting those gunners. Lookin forward to it :)

[Looney]

Splendid news! Really looking forward to their implementation!

 

Do you have a timeframe? (sorry, had to ask :) )

[msalama]

Cool, my favourite bird is getting even better still! Thanks for the info PilotMi8 :thumbup:
