Vote for Gatling gun, rear ramp door and external cargo on the CH-49 Mohawk

Recommended Posts

The Ch-49 Mohawk is the biggest transport chopper available at this point in the game. It is totally unarmed and lacks certain features which if added could make this helicopter a real force multiplier. Not only should the ramp be working but the soldiers should be able to rapidly exit/enter through it, 2 at a time which basically means that there should be two columns of soldiers exiting or entering through the rear instead of one soldier (at a time) entering through the side door which is the current procedure. Also if supply/ammo crates, quadbike(s) and other internal cargo could be carried, it would be nice to have them rollout through this rear ramp door (for both air drops and supply when the helicopter is on ground). Another feature would be the ability to carried external cargo and light vehicles. Also, if it had a sliding side door on the right with a gatling gun, it wouldn't be totally unarmed.

So those of you who would like to have a working ramp door should upvote on the feedback tracker in this Feature Request: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=9974

Those wanting a gatling gun on the side should upvote my recent feature request over here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=15403

I don't think a Merlin would use that type of weapon... And the moving doors will come at a later date.

Scripts can do everything other than add weapons at the moment unless you use attach to.

It would be nice to have three versions of Merlin, the one we already have, another with the ramp down and a LMG

And another with a Sting Ray torpedo, to blow up submarines and other marines assets:

Well and also the VIP version a-la Marine one that is already in the ingame files.

The "marine one" come from Take on helicopter, it's just a copy and paste !

Not an issue for me. In fact I'd love if they add some of the TOH as part of the vanilla pack ( and yeah, I own TOH ).

Merlins are armed in Afghanistan however it is not with gatling guns only LMG's.

I'd even settle for an LMG, although I would have preferred an HMG or above. In any case we'll have to wait till the moving doors issue is fixed. How come Ghosthawks have sliding doors without any problems?

'It would be nice' ....... these should be in wishlist thread.

Well, at least in my case, that are polite suggestions / improvements about things that are already in the game, so are not a dream list.

Anyway if you took around the General forums, are most of them about how to improve the things that are already in the game. So maybe this is the right place as the moderators haven't take any actions in any of the other threads.

The gatling guns have a problem now.

ie. the 6.5mm Gatling in the Ghosthawk is terribly ineffective.

Why so useless?

Dunno, here are my thoughts:

1. No spread. It would actually be MORE effective with some spread.

2. Lag/De-sync. Due to the fire rate, some of the bullets are not registered by the server.

I am also against the CH-49 Mohawk having any type of armaments.

What I am looking forward to, is a large BLUFOR transport heli.

CH-49 is AAF

Well, i think i do agree on this subject. Also, i would like a munch of things that makes sense. for example, maybe a Mohawk with a Mi-17 kit upgrade. Rocket pods on the side for transport/attack. Also have all doors functioning on all heli's like they did when in the Alpha. Also, have the civilian versions of the helis. Not sure if any of you played Altis life, but the civilian Little bird looked sexy with Actual doors. Not sure if that is in game files, or addon, but i doubt it is an addon, because i don't have a civi-Little bird pack.

As I said before I'd settle for even an LMG instead of a gatling. As for a BLUFOR heavy transport chopper, yeah I'd like that too. The only reason I wanted these changes in the ch-49 were because it's there and flyable also I can add it in certain missions as a vehicle and fly it even though I'm operating for the BLUFOR.
