Hi,
Modern infantry would be carrying shoulder launched sams in abundance.
Anti aircraft guns in the arena as well---. Do you really want your 100 + million dollar aircraft in there.
Here is one scenario where the gun is valuable as a last resort---.
Enemy has launched sub sonic cruise missiles at you valuable targets---your aircraft are coming back without any missiles but only with rounds for the gun---.
Now in this case---your aircraft with its guns loaded can chase the sub sonic missiles and try to take them out---. It still leaves your aircraft vulnerable by the enemy aircraft---but what you are trying to save maybe more important than saving your aircraft---.
But again---instead of the gun---I would rather have 2 WVR missiles on that mount---.
