Re: Why is there no 30mm machine gun in the main weapon of the AH-64GX?

@Lady_One No. Even I have difficulty hitting a helicopter with my anti-vehicle rocket pod, but with the main 30mm machine gun, I can easily shoot down a helicopter. This weapon is so easy to hit that you can even take evasive maneuvers while shooting. A well-trained pilot would probably be better with an anti-vehicle rocket pod, but many pilots are not. The ease of application is what makes the main 30mm machine gun superior to the anti-vehicle rocket pod.

    But to pick the 30mm option is to specialize against just the enemy attack helicopter while being much less dangerous against everything on the ground. While there is an asymmetry problem, it is still the worse option.

    I would still try to land anti vehicle rockets to help my gunner do his job
