Air support always use gatling-guns? (even when I have AS-missiles equipped)

[TheQuestion]

So how do you get the air support chopper to use any of those missile upgrades?

I don't think it's ever used anything but the standard gatling-gun fire. I have AS missiles *5 on but he never uses them, is it youst unless you have tanks or something heavy nearby it always defaults away from your main weapon?

Did you equip them in the customization screen?

[TheQuestion]

Yes, I've had some kind of missile upgrade since I could WAY back when I started.

In the ACC you equip them in the customisation menu and call in fire support when desired.

You developed it, that doesn't mean it gets equipped automatically.

Pequod has only ever used them once for me, and that was when I rescued the kids from the diamond mine.

We were almost to the LZ when I got spotted by the enemy chopper, Had to throw the crippled kid (literally) into the building and grabbed one of the mounted machine guns to take it down. During the whole commotion the rest of the base came running, and I was too exposed at the MG so I had to dive for cover. Readied my AR, and moving from cover to cover, went to meet them head on when Pequod came in laying down chaingun fire during his first pass. He circled around and then....rockets. Rockets everywhere. The enemy was practically on top of me when he started his salvo, and I had to pick up my skirt and run, lest I got fried.

The camera was still pointed in the opposite direction when I took off in a mad sprint, and all I saw was dirt, bodies and fire flying everywhere. Wish I had frapped that.

I know, I am on it.

I know, I'm on the "customize } helicopter" screen with max chassis*5, armor*6, flare*4 and main weapon AS missile *5.

I'e had a missile main weapon EQUIPPED since I could WAY back when you first unlocked the H-rocket (which indeed I had equipped for ages) and I have NEVER seen it shoot a single rocket and I've called it 15-20 times during my playtime.

In that case, you call for air support when there isn't a big threat. Or you're too close to the rocket's splash damage and Pequod will refuse to use rockets because of that.

I kind of get that but I would like some mosre specifics, thanks anyway.

You should equip H rockets instead. AS missiles only target vehicles.
