Not a bad setup.

If we can arm the Defenders with M134, i suggest they put 2 M134 gun, one on each side. Then 2 rocket pods.

If such load will be too heavy then they can just put one M134 on one side and a rocket pod on the other.

Or 2 M134 on each side and just discard the roket pod. A tandem of MG520, one armed with 2 M134 only and the other is armed with 2 rocket pods should work fine.

A single MG 520 doing a 5-second sweep on enemy position will indeed unleash the needed fire suppression.

The amount of debris thrown into the air or the falling leaves and branches hit by the rain of bullets will surely distract the enemy's sight. This is a good fire suppression/cover strategy.

That's for Configuration #6. :thumb:

good type af arm, for the huey, ewan ko lang sa Mg-520 :dunno:

Sir Flipzi,

I would go for twin gatling guns instead of 1 gatling and rocket pod combo. Maybe some units would have just twin gatling guns with other will just have the rockets.
