Blackhawk minigun is actually a BB gun

From not even 10 meters it takes like 50 bullets to kill someone, while the AK-15 can 3 shot people.

I understand that for balance reasons despite the minigun shooting .50 cal it can't be super good but I've lost 1 on 1 battles with people on the ground because the minigun did less damage or had too much spread.

I also understand that air superiority is king and devs don't want pilots to single-handedly win the game but right now if an entire squad just decides to shoot their guns at a Black Hawk they'll probably hit the pilot or damage it enough so it has to return to base. Black Hawks are incredibly underpowered and not really rewarding to play.

Maybe a bit of a buff on the minigun spread or damage would be warranted.

pretty sure they're meant to be for transport, they could take the minigun off the heli entirely. ive seen blackhawks be incredibly ineffective and effective, really just depends on if the pilot does what its best at, transport.

I mean I get that, but just as a means of transport they're incredibly weak because it's not exactly hard to take down the helicopter or the people rappelling.

Hell I would even agree with you, take down the minigun and let us shoot our guns from those positions, it would be a hell of a lot more effective.
