requested Door guns - traverse limits

[Flappie]

And the Hip gunner has the same kind of problem than the Huey gunner when aiming to his right (when aiming to his left, it is voluntary limited to avoid hurting the hardpoints.

@Flappie i didnt know you did this much research on the huey door gun pintle swivel! 

so basically no additional range for the huey doorgun?

i dont even see the pilot / gunner body for the huey to even worry about passing hard points.. particularly in VR.. but yes, i do see the mi8 pilot/gunner body...

See my conclusion below:  the player-controlled gunner is missing 25° of movement authority compared to the AI gunner. I asked devs to fix this.

To sum it up:

• Player can only fire -27° / +27°
• AI can fire -27° / +47° +52°, which seems correct when we look at the gunner character animation

I'll ask ED to give the same limits to the player (-27° / +52°) for both mouse and joystick axis.

Sure, but the 3D model of your gunner hits the metal pipe to his right when aiming aft. Press F2 and you'll see it. This means he physically cannot go further. We need another version of the Huey where the seats are removed, then the pipe will be no more.

ahh ok, understood

im more about the functionality than the gunner model. if Ai has a wider traverse limit, i would like to have as a player also, i fly with the pilot body off anyways.

but i guess its up to devs!

thank you for reply!
