Pintle 7.62mm GPMG port and starboard. Update with SAR and CSAR loadouts please. The headline article for the AW.149 "Battlefield Born" Air International May 2023 pp. 34 to 48. Goes into depth on SAR CSAR capability including the fact it has pre-programmed flight profiles for search and rescue in its autopilot. The linked image below shows AW.149 with a winch fitted. SAR could be added to most AW.149 users as well as Poland?

The aircraft will also probably have an extensive self defence aid suite MAWS DIRCM chaff flares laser warning etc.

Handled 501.

These are definitely possible, but not always installed. I don't see dispensers, DIRCM, etc. on the Thai helos for instance. (Or EO, etc. for that matter.)

Good looking helicopter.

Added sensor suite, M60s, chaff/flares, and updated loadouts for 505.
