Minigun rebalance

[WAcrobat19]

As the title says, I think the minigun should be rebalanced. Be it slight or a complete overhaul. It's fun to use, but the wind up is the main problem. Maybe we could still sprint while the gun's barrels warm up? Maybe to counteract this, the accuracy or spread tightens up a bit longer (maybe 10 or 20 rounds firing).

Or just a Minigun mod that removes the wind up, but making it less accurate for like 0.5 second. Nothing major, just a small balancing trade-off.

All it needs is classic heavy minigun revving. Would let you exchange any kind of stealth for firepower on demand

Good damage but hard to use it properly. It's bad weapon I think need some adjustments.

As far as I've seen & tried, it has no need for a rebalance. But the lacking ability to manually spool it does hurt it's appeal for me, with the best way to use it without the Smart Rounds (Which people I've seen playing on Rage make keen use of from around a corner or a lower/higher vantage point) is to Cloak while spooling the Minigun to give you that safe opportunity before it fires and then just holding the trigger until you have reason to let go of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any ideal space for a Controller or the default Mouse & Keyboard mappings to facilitate it's own input for it (I'm sure a rebind can be easily found for Mouse & Keyboard, but standard Controllers only have a single D-Pad button free to them, with only Xbox Elite Controllers or possibly other less-common Gamepads having more options to them).

While I would suggest "Making the 'Zoom' function manually spool-up the Minigun", that would conflict with it's 2x Scope Attachment as well as it's 'All Weapon ADS' Cheat function, but that's assuming anybody actually minds having it spool while you engage 'Zoom' with 2x Scope attached and/or the Cheat enabled.

Yea. I had a feeling that giving us a button to specifically warm up the gun or even turn the aim down scopes button also the "weapon special function" button would work, but the Minigun's scope gets negatively affected.
