Helicopter gunners cannon firing very inconsistent.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Gunners of helicopters (using to cannon) seem to have difficulty firing at targets especially when the helicopter is not directly facing the target.

This seems to happen at all ranges and with both infantry and vehicles.

I have included a reproducing mission of a helicopter circling a tank. {F22461}

Steps To Reproduce

Load reproduction mission.

Observe helicopter and note that the gunner does not fire.

Switch to the gunner and see that you could actually hit the target.

Additional Information

After playing around a bit more I found that gunners do not engage unless the target is within a 10 degrees of the front of the helicopter.
