Take a look at the door gunners of the UH-80 Ghost Hawk, they have no optics on weapon but gunner can use night vision goggles (see screenshot in Additional Information)
However the gunner on M2 with the same iron sights cannot use NVG:

Compared to Ghost Hawk turret, static M2 has optics = 1;, maybe its the cause? Couldn't find this parameter description in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Turret_Config_Reference

seems found a problem
visionMode doesn't exist in door gunner turrets of Ghost Hawk
So need to delete visionMode from this config
configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "HMG_02_base_F" >> "Turrets" >> "MainTurret" >> "ViewGunner" >> "ViewOptics"
See what actions are needed to fix this issue

ye m2 offroad turret doesn't have visionMode too, there is no such problem on an offroad as a static turret
And it seems SaMatra is also right, M2 HMG on Offroad and Ghost Hawk's minigun has optics=0; but on static turret M2 HMG optics=1;
although this setting is not documented...
so needs make 2 changes:
- switch optics=1; to optics=0; in (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "HMG_02_base_F" >> "Turrets" >> "MainTurret")
- remove "normal" parameter in (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "HMG_02_base_F" >> "Turrets" >> "MainTurret" >> "ViewGunner" >> "ViewOptics") to be visionMode[]={}; then player can be able to use his NVG or other head equipment when aiming this machine gun' iron sight
