warlord554 2065 Posted January 12, 2017 it will lay down justice from above the same as a Browning ;) the main visual difference is the handles/firing mechanism. I'm not gonna get too elaborate with it though to save polys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or a more advanced version? not very different, a bit different internally, built on top of the classic M2. It was built for air mounting purposes primarily (which means you can feed ammo on both sides - not simultaneously obviously), also used on some watercraft etc.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colonelhartigan 50 Posted January 12, 2017 Hasn't the M3 got a considerable higher rate of fire as well? Taking advantage of the cooling on the platform and compensating for the typically limited engagement window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaaxxxxon 140 Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah it's like the perfect aircraft weapon IMHO, especially in Arma. Couldn't you have separate models with the only difference being the door guns? That way could switch the entire hawk in the service menus without anyone noticing to 'switch door guns'. I mean you probably wouldn't be able to do it from within the aircraft, and IF you're going explicitly from what's been seen on SOAR hawks I can see why you wouldn't want that, but I'd love to see a DAP with fiddies on the side. Anyways, keep up the Arma Lord's work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warlord554 2065 Posted January 17, 2017 I've had overwhelming PM requests regarding foreign variants. So will do a separate "foreign variant" pbo for non us players/communties. so if any non us players have texture requests feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to accommodate you after initial release 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
