fire rate selection

I just checked out one of the new skirmish maps which has the lvtp7 and noticed that you can select two different rates of fire for the m2 machine gun.

Why not do it for other vehicles that should have this option, like the new AAV?

It isn't entirely straight forward on vehicles, and only way to do it is to have two weapons, that are mag linked to each other, with the only difference between them being their ROF. As such you also not very fast weapon switch times for this to work. This works fine for the LVTP7 since its only weapon is the M85 HMG. As such doing it with other vehicles that have multiple types of weapon that take time to switch to wouldn't be good.

And the Modern AAVP7A1 has a M2HB HMG which doesn't have the variable ROF iirc unlike the M85 HMG in the LVPT7.

I actually meant the new AA vehicle with the open turret, afaik that one only has single weapon.
