Additions:
Guns:
GAU-19 .50 cal (model by nibbylot, used with permission)
M-134D 7.62mm (model by Tanuki44, used with permission)
Updates Co-Pilot M4 burst length from 3 rounds to 30 to simulate a full auto M4A1 instead of three round burst.
Rockets - Multiple new options added, including:
Partial Rocket Pods (3 or 4x Rockets)
Additional mixed rocket loads (APKWS + Smoke or Illumination, etc.)
M282 Multi-Purpose Penetrator Rocket options
See screenshot for full list.
Missiles:
Ability to carry additional Hellfires
Known issues:
Gun sounds will remain tied to the M3P, and thus may not sound "correct", especially for the M-134. Co-pilot M4 firing sounds remain tied to 3 round burst.
Firing additional Hellfires (more than 4) is buggy at best as the Kiowa Warrior was never intended to carry more than four.
