Problems with the gimballed multi cannons

[Tonkonk]

I bought a Cobra today and fitted it out with my preferred weapon setup (2x laser weapons and 2x gimballed multicannons). However, when I was fighting I noticed that the multicannons didn't want to fire even though they weren't overheated, had ammo and they were locked on the enemy. I also switched them with the lasers in the firegroup to test if my joystick button was wrecked... well the lasers were shooting without any problems.

Anybody experiencing the same problem?

To use gimballed weapons on the Cobra, they are most effective in the nose hardpoints, not the ones under the "wings".

the multicannons need some (1 to 2) seconds "spin-up"-time. you can see that when you assign them to a visible (nose- as mentioned above) -hardpoint.
