I don't know if this idea has already been put forward, but here goes anyway. How about a function that could lock your missiles so that you couldn't accidenty shoot one off if they were locked. It's not an earth-shattering change I know, but there's nothing more frustrating than being in a fighter with a low secondary capacity, armed with Tornados, and suddenly you shoot a volley of eight and that's like a third of your payload gone. Plus recently, my joystick tends to take the game into its own hands, firing when it likes, changing target when it likes etc. So that lock feature would be useful for me. Anyone else agree?

what would be useful is that you buy a new joystick methink

Yeah true. But maybe I can't afford one just now. Plus you get such features in aircraft today.

Hang on....you've got a fire wait time of 2.5 seconds.  If thats not long enough for you to depress the trigger than something is kinda wrong.  I always fire volleys of eight anyways

It was a joystick problem it seems. Especially now that the stick part of it has come off :doh:

If it annoys you that much, just add 'no_dumbfire' in the flags of every seeker weapon.......

Which would make some kind of sense!

If it's just targetting things that are in your field of view then you've probably got auto-target on (at least I think that's what that does).
