When will BIS decide to add shooting in vehicle feature in the game?

Look at this video!

The farmers can, why can't "soldiers"?

See: Pig Shooting from Chopper, he use a shotgun.

Sorry, there are some grammar problems...

I hope Bohemia will include a mission like this into Take On Helicopters

It has already been done by the community, but the people have not decided to release it! Seems a little short sighted if you ask me. Just check out the WIP thread.

I believe they had considered putting it in ArmA 2 but a satisfactory solution couldn't be found.

As I said it HAS been done, but they haven't released it to the community.

This. Having used it, the system works pretty well, though.

For the AttachTo "hack" to work though, you need to have a very high floating zone - a lot of people have entirely disabled the floating zone for one reason or another. Since it's not possible to dynamically change the floating zone in a script, the only solution would be to tell players to increase it whenever they're "attached" in that way...which is not a very good solution, especially not if you're going to be popping in and out of vehicles a lot. Also, visually, it doesn't work: when in FP looking back at a unit attached to your flatbed truck, it just looks all kinds of wrong through the window. It's all right as long as you're the attached unit/you can't see it in FP, but yeah.

Still, it could probably be used for a laugh or for novelty here and there (BATTLE BUS!), or in SP missions where players can pause and adjust their settings at will :)

Still can't understand why it hasn't been released.

[max power 21]

A possible reason is that Attachto doesn't work very well over the internet.

Still can't understand why it hasn't been released.

If one could do it, i am sure another could just as well. Have you tried it? (by the looks of it, it is switchanim+attachTo script, and nothing more, or less).

This is, by no means a proper implementation as many community members would want to believe.

Better go ask Gnat for a download right now! ;)

Roughly the same as attachTo, possibly worse FPS though.
