reported Huey door gunners firing very short burst or not engaging.

My AI door gunner are firing 2 round bursts on short, 4-5 on long and twitch around almost like they are "resetting" back to neutral position.  They also have an incredibly small engagement window.

Any ideas?

This is kind of subjective, but you're probably right. The Patch hit me in the middel of Paradise Lost Campaign, due to VR controller problem I left it parked for some days, but today I finally hit the last missions. I noticed door gunners are a bit lazy, to the point I started to man the guns in order to be operative, I thought it has something to do with the missions or the particular behavior of the gunners in the campaign. But you are probably right, as before 2.9 they go crazy on any unit they spot, even the ones a mile away, and now they just spray some bullets from time to time. It probably is happening to the copilot miniguns AI too you see him tracking with the sight but actually not shooting, even if you fly steady and balanced.

Looks like I figured it out.  Simple and stupid fix.

For some reason I have a G920 and a set of WinWing rudder pedals that were mapped to different view functions.  They must have been messing with the AI because when I cleared those functions the AI seemed to go back to normal firing longer bursts and not resetting back to neutral.

Edit: After further testing this didn't fix anything unfortunately.

I'm not sure it is only this (if it worked for you... great!) I was playing one of the UN campaign missions now, and they didn't even shot a single bullet (it is the night attack mission)
So far they seem to become hippy pacifist... 

I don't think this is solved. I double checked the crew behavior window and they don't shoot. They track the targets with the guns but they don't pull the trigger

Please attach a DCS track.

Here's a quick demonstration of the odd AI door gunner behavior I did from the mission editor.
