// King of the Hill // The minigun on the Pawnee is weak fuck.

I did find a thread mentioning the damage being very poor, but I'm wondering if anything is being done about it or if an update is planned.

Also, is this modified in KoTH? I don't have as much experience is other game modes to know if the minigun is weak sauce across the board.

The minigun's accuracy is pretty realistic, and the stated 3 meter grouping at 500 meters is quite a feat! if you're in a steady hover and your target is at an even altitude, then maybe that grouping is possible. Which makes sense.

But the damage is completely off base. I can unload 2000 rounds on a chopper and have it survive easily. Sometimes I'll be dog fighting and pull up behind the hostile chopper and shoot the shit out of his tail rotor but he chopper isnt' damaged like it should be.

These encounters are at very close range, < 100 Meters.

Anyway, I'm curious what your thoughts are. Is my aim really that bad?

it will not do that much damage to a diffrent chopper because they are just normal 7.62 bullets. they will damage compartments but its diffrent than the 20/30 MM bullets of attack shoppers that have HE effects. you will notice that if you hover infront of a building with the Pawnee you can utterly destroy it in several seconds so they are strong enough it just depends what you are fighting with it (Don't even try to fight a tank or apc with them because they jus srug the bullets off)

Yes, I understand they are not explosive rounds. However, you make swiss cheese out of anything with a 7.62 and it shouldn't be flying very long, especially if the rotors are torn up.

Obviously, the 7.62 will be an annoyance at best to a tank. My issue is mainly with others choppers. The damage is not severe enough imho.

Many attack helicopters have armor plating on them to protect them from small arms fire. Besides that point there's also the fact that you're probably MISSING a lot more than you think.
