Title: Disarm feature
Post by: Hudzy on June 27, 2002, 12:03:58 pm

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. :mad: So that lock feature would be useful for me. Anyone else agree?

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.......

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).
