Both low and high M2 HMG static turret minElev values are very small. I did some experiments and both M2 HMG turrets can support much better minElev values of -9.4, compared to current -5 for low and -8 for high.
Here is how it looks (hint shows actual elevation):
Animations also look fine for new values.
Patch to use test values:
class CfgPatches {
class CfgTestPatch {
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.1;
requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Static_F_HMG_02"};
};
};
class CfgVehicles {
class LandVehicle;
class StaticWeapon:LandVehicle {
class Turrets;
};
class StaticMGWeapon:StaticWeapon {
class Turrets:Turrets {
class MainTurret;
};
};
class HMG_02_base_F:StaticMGWeapon {
class Turrets:Turrets {
class MainTurret:MainTurret {
minElev = -9.4;
};
};
};
class HMG_02_high_base_F:HMG_02_base_F {
class Turrets:Turrets {
class MainTurret:MainTurret {
minElev = -9.4;
};
};
};
};Honestly, I'd make these values even bigger, even if gun barrel would intersect the shield a little bit. Its a small visual trade back for making the turret much more playable.
