I'll give that a shot as well. I don't really have trouble telling the gunner who to shoot next, as the level of multi-tasking is still way below Black Shark :) I primarily got Arma2 so that I can do troop deployments on a chopper and then do air support. The flight model is definitely lacking in fidelity, but its still pretty fun.

Thanks, I'll try it. So spot a target and then switch to gun, right? As far as being shot while flying. I think that machine gunners do open fire. When I was flying the same mission using the mi-8, my front gunner was shot and shortly after, I got killed mid flight. (height about 20~30 meters at 30~40 kph)

So I just tried it with the V version which has the YakB cannon. The gunner will quite often switch to S8 rockets by himself, and when I switch back to YakB he occasionally fires but most of the time he does nothing and then switches back to S8s.

So I am doing this mission where motorized infantry invades a village and I pilot the hind. I take out the ACPs with the Ataka guided missles or S8 unguided rockets (switching to manual fire) and then try to take out the riflemen. I tell the gunner to fire and switch to the cannon. However, the gunner does nothing even when you tell him to target a particular soldier. In a tank, this always works and the gunner will machine gun the target. On the hind, nothing happens.
