  Are you happy with door mounted GPMGs in UH-1Hs ?
  
  Do you recommend that RSAF purhased door mounted mini-guns ( which has rotary barrels - hence, greater firepower) for fire suppression when it want to purschase Black Hawk to replace Huey as well as to complement Super Pumas?

  At least you will get 6X more kills. But then again also use 6X more ammo.

  Only once.. I played online multiplayer games at cyber-cafe yesterday,
  where you can be air gunner manning Black Hawk gun station.
  I was impressed by the firepower . That's all.

  the MG should be sufficient. We ain't Uncle Sam. There isn't a need to be so offensive... especially with our friends up there watching us.
  
  btw, how would the black hawks complement SPs?
  
  Our SPs are designed to be fitted with doorguns as well.
