HappyVoo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Can I choose not to carry the M4 in the cabin? Some people like it, some people don't like it, can it be like the F-16 can choose the color of the cockpit glass, and can choose whether to carry it or not.

iceman14555 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm sure there's an Army regulation somewhere that says you can't do that. It would be like taking off your PT belt. Just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 762 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I am sure someone could make a mod. I don't think too many people are going to be that put off by the M4 although it does block the view a bit.

When I wore a blue helmet in the 1990's, I carried a C9A1, (a Canadian made variant of the FN Minimi, better known as a M249 SAW from video games)... no semi-auto... just full auto, and a 200 round belt, with a spare belt box in my load bearing gear (strange vest that fit over the kevlar vest). When we were driving, I was on the Browning .50 soooo... Maybe the original poster is from a country that doesn't issue M-4's, so maybe it's distracting? Or maybe doesn't want the view restricted like that? Edited March 17, 2022 by Rick50 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastyBaiter Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Unlikely to be an option though I suspect it is more problematic in game than in real life (or VR). When viewing this stuff on a screen some things that are barely noticeable in VR or real life really get in the way due to the loss of stereo vision. 1 System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals.

There's already a hook to hang your suit on. It might get in the way a bit more than the M4 does though. PS. Another account now? Really? (otra cuenta? enserio?)

FalcoGer Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The better question would be: can I open up the canopy and shoot out of it, or hop out quickly and shoot some place up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastyBaiter Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Confirming shooting out of the window of an Apache is done in real life on a routine basis. Here's a historical documentary on its practice. 7 System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals.
