The guns on the EU transporter are rubbish, you can aim directly at somebody and not even damage them, they're okay against other transporters though. In comparision the PAC transporter guns are superb, you can gun down the enemy no problem. Does anybody else find this?

I haven't found that problem; they kill the same. Which is very little to begin with.

I've found this too... I was a transport gunner (the transport is sitting on the ground.. no pilot) I zoomed in to a proned enemy about 100 meters away... shot at him for ever but not a single hit. I could clearly see him in the gun sight; it's not like he was hiding behind a rock or something he was in the middle of a flat area.:rolleyes:

Maybe you all are aiming wrong.. aim for the head.

Its not that, you can aim directly for the head and let it overheat, it still doesnt hit, yet the PAC one wastes them

i havent noticed this but the rate of fire for the EU is greater so loss damage probably....

Believe me.. I was aiming for his head.. his side.. in front of him.. behind him... everywhere; basically I plastered the entire area with bullets. He was only about 100 meters away so I could practically count the pimples on his face especially with the zoom on the gun. I personally think that those guns have a problem with shooting nearby targets when you're shooting them at certain angles.

I had this today, I now recon I was missing. You really have to be dead on with them, mm to the left or right and you miss.

Whilst i'm here, the experience with the apc mini gun today was awsome - 220-250 yrds - that gun is awsome, but then again I was wobbling all over the place before getting the wandering nomads lol

All down to the steady/accurate hand I suppose, one that takes me a few beers these days ;)

I have noticed that sometimes transport guns will have massive splash damage while other times simply won't do any damage at all.

Can't remember if it was dependant on what side's transport it was but it's certainly something that should be looked in to.

Were you zoomed?
The aim is WAY OFF when zoomed. I only zoom in to survey the area and zoom out before I start laying down lead. I can kill equally the same in both transports, which isn't much, but at least I can hit the target when it's not zoomed in.

The PAC gunship and transport have exploding rounds, the EU versions do not.

Yeah, you're right. It's the right side gun on the EU transport. I've had this happen many times at point blank range, really far away, and everything in between. It doesn't always have this problem. I agree that it must be a bug because I have noticed it doing literally nothing for myself (the enemy has been standing there with the rounds clearly pounding him).

And it's not just a splash damage issue.

Both transports have the most inaccurate pos guns in the world while they're moving. It's like firing a pilum from the side of a moving transport.

While theyre moving yes, but when theyre stopped the PAC transporter has the best weapon in the game
