Bell improved the design so that they split and pivot upwards, so there is a clear field of fire.

I agree, slightly less than V22...I said nacelles, what I meant was the wings and it’s nacelles. If you are landing in slightly lower terrain than the area around you (clearly not ideal but sometimes no other options), you probably have more restrictions than with a regular rotor disc. And how vulnerable is such a split nacelle already for small arms fire? And that times 2 as you have 2....
