Please bring back the forward facing gatling guns on the Transport Helicopter

In old games (BF4) you could face the miniguns all the way forward. This allowed for a group of well coordinated buddies to use the Transport helicopter as a deadly hazard and rule the skies.

I remember the glory days where me and a group of friends could fly around the map and I as the pilot could face my nose at things to "target" them and my gunners (who could faced the guns all the way forward) would do the rest.

This was one of the best kept secrets in BF4 because the majority of people thought the Transport heli was utterly useless and wouldn't have a coordinated (miced up) squad to run this with. They would use it to just get around the map, (and still even in BF6 waste it just the same) not knowing the transport helis hidden secret technique. 

Perhaps it was a little too well kept of a secret because somewhere along the line the developers forgot to put it back into BF6, the current BF6 transport heli's guns are slightly angled away from the nose.  Making this tactic unforgiving and unworkable. 

I believe teamwork should be rewarded, sure this is very strong but it does require a certain know how, a decent pilot, and a coordinated squad to really make it effective. Plus if the concern is balancing, a simple RPG or jet can really ruin this tactics viability. 

Please bring this feature back. I miss the glory days where I could squad up, run the transport heli and have a marvelous time laughing as we dominated the air until an RPG, a tank, or a Jet one shotted us out of the air. 

 

 

All the best...
