Door gunners on most, if not all, helicopters just kinda sit there as if the gun doesn't exist. They don't hold the gun or make any movement when the gun is moved. Compare the vanilla UH-80 where the door gunner has a firm grip on their weapon.

Thank you for your feedback. We have tested with doorgunners holding the guns, however this resulted in a too limited firing arc. In real life the gunners would sling the guns around by displacing their whole bodies, something that isn't possible in Arma. In discussion with our veteran advisors we went with the current solution to preserve a realistic firing arc.

Is it really not possible to have a full-body system similar to existing turrets like the vanilla raised M2s or offroad technicals?
