Considering ukranians have jury rigged MGs with tripods and a camera and stream deck.Is there any point to having manned machineguns?
when you don't have those things
>>64450615Finding a target : IRL faster scan of the skies. Hearing also helps in some situations.Bullets on target: IRL has better latency and field of view.
>>64450615yeah on non permanent positions on moving vehicles or when you need 360 coverage maybe also when you're supposed to show presence rather than fight plus the versatility of being able to pull two pins and take it off in case you need a 7.62 machinegun in a pickle >inb4i know most RCWS still allow it, but even the good ones it's more than just two pins and the makeshift ones are much worse
>>64450615Remote controlled is still manned.
Many countries are also moving towards unmanned main gun turrets, and drone countermeasure capabilities are becoming increasingly required, so a definitive version of RCWS is still not in sight.
