Description

Heavy stationary weapon in the game has too narrow coverage of fire.
Due to a limitation, cannot rotate in different directions the majority of weapons!
Examples we can see on my screenshots. This weapons cannot be normally rotated. Too narrow coverage of fire.

Imagine the situation. Your gun is aimed at the North.
But, what to do, if the enemy comes simultaneously from the North and East?
To rotate this weapon, the player will need to disassemble and then re-assemble the weapon. During the battle it is very problematic.
Please take the opportunity to rotate all stationary weapons(already installed) in any direction.
For example, the player may hold the special button and twist/move this weapon, with the mouse, it's so simple. {F25427} {F25428}

Well, you can dismantle it then put assemble it again facing another direction to the enemy.

Simultaneously my quote and answer to you: "During the battle it is very problematic".
"What to do if the enemy comes simultaneously from the North and East?"

In this case, you will be killed instantly and you will not have time to do anything. Stationary weapons must be flexible in use.

I agree partially, the launchers should be allowed to rotate 360 °, since they're elevated and produce no recoil. But the static HMGs and GMGs should retain the limited field of fire. The Arma 3 RL GMG is a modern design with reduced recoil, but it wouldn't look right, since the operator is sitting down.

If you're caught sitting at your static gun in a situation where you're getting flanked, it's time to abandon it and pick up your rifle. They're not meant to be continuously repositioned, make a decision and set it up.

Perhaps static louchers should not rotate by 360 °.
The player should be able to turn the entire installation, together with tripod.
