To ensure safe operation of the M129, when the trigger finger releases the firing trigger, the launcher automatically re-centres itself and points forward (safe position) before firing can be resumed.
#GUNSHIP BATTLE TOTAL WARFARE WIKI UPGRADE#
An upgrade from the old M75 and redesigned, the torque produced from firing the weapon was eliminated and recoil was greatly reduced. The M129 is a grenade launcher which can fire 40 mm grenade shells at the rate of 400 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 850 ft/s (260 m/s). The UH-1C can be outfitted with the nose turreted M129 grenade launcher after researching and purchasing the tier II Weaponry module M129. 1 x 40 mm M129 grenade launcher, nose turret (150 rpg).The UH-1C can be outfitted with the following ordnance after unlocking the tier II Weaponry module M129: This means that calibres that are 7.62 mm and below could potentially be stopped by the fuselage for a few hundred shots until the fuselage starts giving warning when it slowly becomes yellow or orange. Pick and choose your battles to preserve the helicopter.īut the "thin metal fuselage" is still a "metal", it would provide minor, temporary protection for the interior modules (i.e. The pilot must be aware of their surrounds and work to fight from the enemy vehicles blind spots or weak sides, because a burning and crashed helicopter only pads the enemies' score-count. The engine, transmission, main rotor and tail rotors are all exposed to fire from missiles, rockets, cannons and even small calibre machine guns.

Bull rushing right into the middle of a battlefield usually ends with disastrous results as the without armour, the Huey has nothing but thin metal fuselage coverings to protect the crew and vital equipment. As such, the pilot must take this into account and fly the helicopter accordingly. The UH-1C does not fly with any protective armour or bullet-proof glass, which if installed would decrease the UH-1's ability to complete its mission. The Huey balances this out with a vehicle which can manoeuvre as needed and carry a decent payload whether people or weapon systems. The helicopter's setup is such that it must take off and land vertically, hover and fly and as the aircraft gets heavier, bigger and heavier equipment are needed to balance until you are left with a massive helicopter which cannot fly or do its intended mission. Helicopters have a unique role on the battlefield and fitting them with armour is not as easy as it is on a tank or on a jet.
