When sitting in the crew chief slot of any other MI-2 helicopter the camera correctly tracks the weapon. This is not the cast for the MI-2P Hoplite (Transport).

Hey @mijamijamija ,
This is as designed, Apollo made the following statement:
In the non-transport variants, for example Hoplite (FAC), there is a gunner for the door gun who kneels in front of it and can track the weapon movement with his head when not aiming down sights.
However, in the Transport variant, in order to make room for passengers in the seats without major clipping, the kneeling gunner is replaced by a seated crew-chief who sits near to the gun, but at 90 degrees to it. If his head is slaved to the gun movement, then he often will see his own headless body. As aiming down sights places the camera along the gun sights, this was considered the best trade-off.
Best Regards,
Maarten
