Why are there no door guns on the Lynx?

Players can piss around with anything in the mod.

I don't think door gun ammo is an issue in PR, also helicopters engines already give away their positions.

Now I'm glad you've raised this point because I have an answer to that;

Yes, you can hear a chopper but on maps like Archer for instance, you can't tell where it is exactly... Unless you can hear a distinct side-cannon firing, or see biiiiiiig red tracers saying HERE HERE SHOOT ME!

No - atm when there's a Heli around, you can hear it, and you're either thinking "There's a Heli around somewhere!" or "Damn sound bug"

That makes no sense. If you can't tell where a helicopter is from it's engine sound you shouldn't be able to tell from the sound of it's guns either.

If you can see it's tracers you should already see the helicopter itself.

I've rarely come across the sound bug in PR, and it's usually obvious when it happens because the sound never changes. Compared to the dynamic sound of helicopters flying around, landing and taking off, slowing down and speeding up.

Agree on First 1.

Second one - tracers move, and go for a long way. they aren't just where the gun is, the helic an be behind a hill, and you see tracers coming from over the hill and you know the Heli's there (especially with BHs, seeing as the miniguns have very distinctive tracers)

Third one - I always get sound bug and it is hard to tell on a map with lots of helicopters on such as Muttrah, & you're not really listening because you're trying to fight the enemy. It can be very confusing.
