Just a random thought maybe could make new weapons that cna be unlocked in the future one cool one could be the STG44 with the bent barrel Krummlauf and the periscope since you already have render textures for the periscopes inside of tanks that may be able to be repurposed for that weapon allowing you to shoot from the safety of your tnak with your personal weapon

they really used it inside vehicles?
If I'm not wrong, they developed this weapon but they scrap it because the bent barrel would damage very fast and it wasn't that accurate
"The bent barrel attachments had very short lifespans—approximately 300 rounds for the 30° version, and 160 rounds for the 45° variant—as the barrel and bullets fired were put under great stress." this is from Wikipedia
This is a photo of a American soldier that was testing a captured stg one
there were two variants version I for infantry and version P for tanks
this would be a 90° version that could be mounted in a tank
this would be mounted on tank hatches
especially on the Panzer 4/70
so it pretty much was intended for in vehicle use
interesting, sure why not we could add this as some expansion for interior vehicle interactions

you could even adapt this for the soviets too because they tested this on the PPSH-41 aswell
I would start from allowing player to use personal weapons inside vehicle and when peeking out as well as pistol ports etc
and grenades
yeah that be a good start
but for that you also need to have seamless transition between interior and exterior ideally
But made it like in real life, like after 300 round or 160 rounds (depending on the angle) it would breakdown and you need to go at a resupply point to repair it
"The 30° model was able to achieve a 35×35 cm grouping at 100 m."
This is the Krummlauf put in a vehicle mount
They were intended for the Elefant tank destroyer
I can't find information about the 90° one
