The wildcat is the main anti air. Other vehicles are just transport and ground to ground. The nlBrawler, the newand Infantry fighting vehicle has a gunner too good as AA, and the 60 mm flak in the MAVs are already doing that function perhaps way too well and outshining the Wildcat. A vehicle like the LATV is merely a transport. We don't want to see people camping at the spawn using the miniguns. We want people to play the objective.
@BownrInSweatPanz The minigun's main purpose on the Light Vehicle is meant to be defensive, not offensive. I think they're currently fine. Aside from the Miniguns on the Nightbird, those miniguns are a little too good.

They're actually quite powerful in the right (PC) hands; the problem lies with balancing both PC and console at the same time -- Buff damage or aim assist any more and we'll have launch-levels of headache

I'm 99% sure there's no aim assist for vehicle guns. I'm not even sure if it would be possible since vehicle gunners typically need to lead targets.
But I agree with your general point. How do you balance these vehicle gunner positions between console and PC?
I almost never die to transport gunners when playing on last gen. On Gen5/PC servers I can generally expect 1-2 transport deaths per round.

@S3SSioN_SoLit depends on the player on how they use it Defensively or Offensively, but I most proposed the changes to be more consistent in accuracy.
Nightbird and Transport heli miniguns seem to behave different from the land ones and function way better than their land counterpart, so I specified Land Vehicle Miniguns rather than miniguns as a whole.Also Improving Light vehicle damage is more supplemental to the accuracy/spread/ bullet velocity changes, and doesn't have to be included, I'd rather be replaced with less spinup time or less overheat time if more damage to vehicles isn't the option DICE would consider.
