Logically, it makes more sense to carry out these interceptions using such means (whenever possible) rather than with expensive anti-aircraft missiles. The thing is, while playing some missions where I had to shoot down this type of drone, I came across cases where the creators added a large number of aircraft armed with anti-aircraft missiles. I decided to try replacing them with helicopters armed with machine guns instead.
In the case of the EC 665 Tigre, for example, it is equipped with:
#508 - 30mm Giat 30/M781 Burst [50 rnds]
VALID TARGETS
Aircraft
Helicopters
Surface Ships
Land Structures (Soft)
Mobile Units (Soft)
Missiles & Guided Bombs
This armament seems well-suited for engaging a variety of targets, including drones, especially when considering the cost-effectiveness of using cannons compared to expensive anti-aircraft missiles. The 30mm cannon could be particularly effective against smaller, slower-moving targets like the Shahed or Harop drones, as long as the helicopter can position itself advantageously and the drone is within range.
But in the case of, for example, the #5711 - UH-1Y Venom [Huey], it is equipped with:
#300 - 12.7mm/72 GAU-19 Minigun Burst (which is mounted on a significant number of helicopters).
VALID TARGETS
Surface Ships
Land Structures (Soft)
Mobile Units (Soft)

I understand that these machine guns mounted on the sides should be perfectly useful for shooting down this type of drone, especially since it is already being done in current conflicts. In CMO (Command: Modern Operations), we don’t currently have the ability to use this kind of configuration as a defense against these types of threats. Do you think there’s any chance this could be implemented somehow?
I’m leaving a small test scenario where you can see the logical effectiveness of the Tiger’s 30mm cannon on the right, and on the left, some UH-1Y helicopters that can’t do anything against these drones, only fly alongside them.
) and two 1000-liter drop tanks to each aircraft, providing an endurance of 4 hours, which should be enough for a round trip to Morocco.
. I had modified the sensors and didn’t realize I could do this with the weapons... thanks. On the other hand, I’ve noticed that you can remove any added armament from a mount, but if we add it to the Loadout section where you placed the B43... it can no longer be removed. Strange, isn’t it?
