Gunnery for FAVs, DPVs, Humvees, Vodniks and their PLA equivalents is all about communication between the driver and gunners. The driver is generally unable to see or focus on targets, and is spending most of his time preventing everyone in the vehicle from dying a messy, explosive death.
As a gunner, you must recognise this, and understand the importance of speed to survival.
The speed of the vehicle influences you in a number of ways:
1. It makes you a harder target to hit.
2. It makes targets harder to identify.
3. It makes targets more difficult to hit.
To successfully engage infantry or lightly armoured targets, the key is constant movement and constant turns. The movement keeps you alive, and the turns allow you to 'orbit' the target, pinning it down and keeping the MG on it. Remember to lead your target, and adjust this lead to match your speed and direction.

Often under rated when engaging an enemy helo, but the Vodnik, FAV, and HMMWV, are incredible at taking them out, even at a long range. Just make just to keep the trigger pulled and remember to LEAD THE TARGET.....that is all.

This is true and I probably should have added that into my post, but I forget that not all people have common sense...thanks...
