Give the Strikemaster the funi dakka?
The Strikemaster with all its glory and dakka miniguns.
As the title says, the MB 326k gets miniguns off the bat along with 30mm gunpods and 30mm internal cannons, however the strikemaster has to make do with internal 7.62 machineguns and twin 7.62 machinegun pods.
I would like to propose that gaijin act on my report and give the Strikemaster its own miniguns in order to help it in fighting open top enemy ground vehicles and also enemy strike aircraft. Given that the Impala version of the 326k is rejected for the short to potential medium term, I think it would be fitting for the similar role jet aircraft to get at least a similar capacity that it did trial in the field.

100% having better guns will do the Strikemaster good in the long run.

Remember to spread the word, the snail might finally listen to my begging after checks notes
…
10 months.
Yes, and I have been crusading for the 4 miniguns for 10 months, every time I got the chance, yet the snail denies us this glorious funny tadpole armament.
Every BR change patch, etc. Maybe now we can finally get it if enough people support it.
please give it its miniguns, the little peashooters are poor, would give it a lot of extra power

Went out and played the Strikemaster in ARB, and the guns do nothing, making it impossible to fight with. (and I wasn’t about to fight with half the team for a ground target)
The higher calibre guns are needed.
While I can make the current gunpods work, it would be nice to have more. IDK about higher calibres as my sources didnt state what model/design, but I would assume it would be similar to other systems of its time using the M3 .50cal.
Though this is more for minigun, it might not be a higher cal, but that rate of fire spike is chefs kiss. 2-5 times the rate of fire pending what speed the guns set at IIRC.
Now I just hope gaijin take note, we at 30 upvotes in 1 night and zero downvotes, not too bad. Im tempted to try pinging someone to ask if they will take note at the popularity but might be worth waiting, idk.
PFFFFT gun pods?
Just smack 'em with your di… I mean skill:
Broski got super lucky there haha. Dont get me wrong, I can make the GPMGs work, but its not exactly sustainable outside of a lot of lucky situations.

Tell me about it, I still end up scratching my head wondering how that happened when I re-watch that clip.
I think they where expecting me to run and got caught flat footed when I started fighting them.
But yeah, I wouldn’t turn down some even .50cal pods… hell even just some AP-I in the 7.62s belts would be nice.
