Don can you also add to Philippine OOB polish

PZL W-3A Sokół

They have 8 and they can carry 2x M60 machine gun in doors on both sides one from each side. Except that they are unarmed and they have them since 2012/2013 exactly since February 2012 according to this article https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...elicopters.htm I have no exactly icon but one of polish green one can be used



And video where is possible to see how MG is installed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td1GzqZbj3s

And last military operator is Algeria 8 helicopters since 2012 acording to this source https://www.helis.com/database/model...-3/%20?filc=DZ Variant W-3A transport version so probably MG is what is installed like in Philippine version.
