Miniguns... more 'mini' than 'guns'

Hehe, then most players would treat the Blackhawk as a pure gunship vehicle if they double the rate of fire. Though, I would like to see that happen, probaly not possible on the engine

Blackhawks get killed very fast:

Anti Air (SA-7) - 2
Heavy Anti Tank - 1
Light Anti Tank - 2

Tank/Sabot - 1
Tank/Heat - 1

APC/Sabot - 10
APC/Heat - 20

So it won`t be a very good gunship?

You can down a BH/Cobra with SA7 by firing the missile into the tail or front. Worked for me...

"But in Bh Down!..."-The usual argument that fools people into know wtf they are on about. Yeah, you might be right there.
...mongol...

But in BH Down! it was the 160th SOAR, which is the small fraction of blackhawks with miniguns

i think they need to do more damage to jeeps, u may aswell thro the f**king gun at it!

but not so much it'll wipe out everything and become 'the god of war' type gun

but it certainly needs to be able to annihhilate a vodnik

then again, yeh doubling the fire rate would be the best option, realistic rof + more damage

Generally M240s are the weapon system equipped on Blackhawks. Afaik there is only one air unit that uses miniguns on Blackhawks, SOAR which is a special operations unit.

Here is an idea.

1. Marine Corp Blackhawks don't use miniguns. Period. The end.

2. The other transport choppers can't hit sh*t in a cess pit. Giving the BH uber l337 miniguns seriously unbalances the game. Yes I know this is a reality mod and it should be close to life but I think maybe we should give the miniguns the firing ability of an M240. Yes it wouldn't be modelled but it would be realistic. It also would balance out the transport choppers.

I'm more interested in the game play side of things than how it looks as you can probably tell. If I wanted something to look at I would go to an art gallery. I want something I can play as true to life as possible.

Many Thanks to the PR team for what is an amazing mod. It is everything BF2 should have been from the start. Thank you

Yup, load up Proving Grounds and fire the minigun at a humvee. It takes forever to destroy them...

[Battlepudel]

Here you go.........would be really strange if the M240 would be more effective....
