Fire control system for Remote weapon stations

[commy2]

The merkavas 7.62mm mg is compatible with the main guns FCS, but the commanders RWS 12.7mm from the 105mm version isn't.
This doesn't make much sense. I'd prefer if all weapon stations, including the automatic grenade launchers would be compatible.

Not reliably possible since the Fired EH doesn't tell you which unit fired out of a vehicle, meaning that if 2 seats both have the same MG, madness would occur.

Uhm...
local (_this select 6) ?

Did some testing and because its cfgAmmo, the projectile is local to everyone.

But then still. Name me one vehicle that shares the same weapon in two turrets.
It's not like the FCS has to be enabled by default for modded vehicles anyway.

1. Almost every MBT with a loader or commander turret (the ones in Arma have seperate classes, but modded ones might not)
2. Ghosthawk (irrelevant to FCS though)

Also, if we want to make it universal, we also have to support non-standard turrets, and frankly: Fuck no.

If someone goes through the trouble of configurating the FCS for AGM, then he might aswell make a copy of the weapons for each turret.

Btw, BWA3 Leo:

weapons[] = {"BWA3_SafeWeapon", "BWA3_L55", "BWA3_MG5_vehicle"};
weapons[] = {"BWA3_MG5_loader"};

Ghosthawk (irrelevant to FCS though)

vehicle player currentWeaponTurret [1];
-> "LMG_Minigun_Transport"

vehicle player currentWeaponTurret [2];
-> "LMG_Minigun_Transport2"

LMG_Minigun_Transport and LMG_Minigun_Transport2 are actually the same, so my guess would be that they made the copy exactly for that reason. Maybe for the campaign, or maybe it's required by the engine anyway.
