reported [BUG] M60 Tank has no Coaxial Machine Gun

[Apocalypse31]

Title. 

There doesn't seem to be a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun modelled for the M-60.

Did I miss something?

Hold the phone, the M60s are drivable now....

Yea, can confirm, no coax, nor gun stabilization.

Try pressing Q to switch to the machine gun turret.

That wouldn't be the "coaxial" gun, would it?

 

Quote

A coaxial mount is mounted beside or above the primary weapon and thus points in the same general direction as the main armament, relying on the host weapon's ability to traverse in order to change arc. The term coaxial is something of a misnomer as the arrangement is strictly speaking paraxial (i.e., parallel axes, as opposed to the same axis), though for ballistic purposes the axis is effectively the same in practical terms.

Nearly all main battle tanks and most infantry fighting vehicles have a coaxial machine gun mounted to fire along a parallel axis to the main gun. Coaxial weapons are usually aimed by use of the main gun control.

Ah, I misunderstood, do we know that the M60 has one, I didnt see a reference to it.

 

NM, I found this 

 

[Apocalypse31]

Still not fixed

[NineLine]

The current model doesn't have it, if we do a new model I think then we can look at having it added. I believe the current model is a older one.

The M60A3 is in game, which has a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun in real life. 

[Apocalypse31]

Still no coaxial machine gun on the M60A3

As I stated our 3D model does not have the gun. Sadly this model, while newer to the game, is a quite old model in general. It wont be added until a new model is done. I will ask if we can add it anyways, just for gameplay purposes, I mean I wouldnt complain if it came out of this cap for now.

Gotcha, thanks!

Please ask. Nobody will notice or care, and I'm sure it will get a model update at some point.

Yeah I thought about it after you asked again and I think it would be fine to fire from there opposed to waiting on a new model that could be long off.
