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

This may have been debated long ago: the KA-520 has a 30mm machine gun in its main weapon, but the AH-64GX does not. Why is this?　I believe both vehicles have the same role, but there is a huge diffe...

@Gurz1019_MP Difficult for you, practice more. Helicopters fly in straight lines when shooting at one another (people keep their aim on the enemy, they don't make wacky movements), making them pretty easy to hit if you can lead and plenty of 2042 weapons already explicitly need leading skill, like launchers or sniper rifles.

Killing a jeep doesn't matter.

@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
