AAV armarment setup

Wh33lman · 12-22-2010, 09:07 PM

so i finally had a chance to gun for the AAV, and i was suprised the way the weapons were setup. with every other vehicles, the coaxial machine is setup with the RMB. however, the .50 on the AAV is a selectable weapon. it threw me off, and im wondering why it was done.

Usually the coaxial machineguns are M240 and not M2 0.50cals.

MAs said both couldn't be fired at the same time irrc, hence the different weapons slots

Animal.Mother is correct.

The attached photo shows the control panel for the UGWS; the .50 and the GL cannot be armed at the same time.

Damn, I love this mod because of such details.

The delay is only 1 second, which is about the same time it would take for the gunner to flip the arming switch irl.

Plus if it were both, BTR's wouldn't stand a chance ;_;

It is the same way for Bradleys and Abrams, you have to switch to Coax after engaging with HE or AP, so why isn't it this way with those vehicles?

1 second switch between ammo types is worse than having coaxial always ready.

You can have M242 armed and Coax armed too. Its only a switch on the joystick wich take about 0.0001 second to switch, the weapons are already ready ( that alot of readiness huh ? lol ) there is a switch on joystick, a simple click. So it dosent worth a weapon slot.
