Allowable Controls

[silverhydra]

One thing that always bothered me about the other MechWarrior games was the awkward feel of firing groups.  I'm not sure if it's been implemented before or if somebody here has already posted, but I'd like to be able to have firing groups bound to keys instead of having to 'tab' through them all then tabbing back.

1 Medium ER Laser
1 Medium ER Laser
2 Clan LRM 20
2 Clan LRM 20
3 Clan Machine Gun
3 Clan Machine Gun

Instead of going Tab Enter Tab Tab Enter---------> Tab Tab Enter For
Fire Group 1, Fire Group 3 + Hold, Fire Group 2

I'd rather just be able to go Mouse Wheel Up for 1, Mouse Wheel Down for 2, Mouse Wheel Click for 3 or be able to do this with the numpad.

Epiphany: Use the adrenaline-suit rose to select firing groups!

As of current, the Devs are preselecting Weapon groups for players for their "stock" chassis.

Example: Catapult
Fire group 1 : 4 medium lasers
Fire group 2 : 2 LRM 20s

This is just the basis for how we want the Mechs to play out and the basic controls for them. However, we plan to allow the players to setup their own "preference load out" based on per-vehicle stand point (kinda like making a Mech variant in MW4). This will also include any weapon groups you setup with the new custom weapon layouts of addons you put onto your Mech.

Fire group 1 : 2 medium lasers
Fire group 2 : 2 medium lasers
Fire group 3 : 1 LRM 20
Fire group 4 : 1 LRM 20

That wasn't my question.  I was asking if I could bind a key to fire weapon groups 1-5 instead of having to manually select each group.
