Changelog - door gunners.. what does this mean?

[fargo007]

From the changelog:

 

Mi-8MTV2 and UH-1H AI helicopters. Onboard gunners are implemented. From now the AI gunners will engage different types of threats within their (gunners') weapons range.

I also wondered this.

 

EDIT: Ah I see now. AI Hueys and Mi8 now have working door gunners. Nothing to do with human controlled helicopters.

Thanks, I kinda skipped over the AI part here.

 

<smack!>

 

 

Okay I'm back.

 

ETA - The Mi-8 12,7 gunner could use some training. He almost never hits anything.

Huh I do remember that the AI gunners were already working before in 1.5 for Huey. I was not flying it in 2.5 though. Did I miss something?

is there a way to get the door gunners on a AI huey to open the doors ?

Set ROE on return fire and after the first enemy contact(enemy set to : HOLD FIRE), the doors remain open.

How exactly do I set the ROE on an AI Huey? is it something in the mission editor ?

With leftWin+H open the little weapon window, you should see their status. If i remember well, leftctrl+3 and 4 sets the gunners.

 

 

Edit: in the game, not the editor.

Guys, he's talking about AI helicopters not your own gunners. ;)

Oh, my bad, for some reason i tend to consider my crew AI, lol.

 

If you place a helo and select CAS (on the upper part) i think they shoot everything they see. If not, you can set it in the Advanced ( Waypoint actions) tab. "ADD" and you can select what you need.
