I could like that, i hate waiting for my ML's to reload so i can shoot the last 3 off so i can get a full clip. +5*
atm i empty my rocket or mg magazine if its not enough ammo for the next fight so absolutley yes. I wouldnt bother if i lost those 2 rockets already in the launcher if i hit reload
You mean you want to get rid of reloading? Because the only other thing thats left is that it actually reloads mid clip and you're basicly have to reload twice as often. This suggestion is plain stupid.
What i mean is that it loads the next clip. you lose any rockets/shells you have in current clip. It's basically the same as firing off all the remaining shells/rockets in your clip off. Firing off shells and rockets can, depending on system, take 10+ seconds, which is silly. pressing R to reload all reloadable weapons on the current weapon set up.
The usuall usecase of this would be if You are an Arty tank and You have 2 shells left and You got a bit damaged so You go back, but You have some heat so You cant just shoot those two off, but when You return to front You would like to be able to shoot more than 2 shells without reloading already. So You press R and go get repaired. The same thing is when You have standard engine. You cannot afford taking heat for those extra shots to reload... What I would do (if it is possible), is to reload when pressed R+lmb or R+rmb, so You can choose exacly what weapon You want to reload. I miss that feature since I started playing Empires.
I like this idea.. seems simple to add and would be better then shooting off the few missles or bullets you have left to get a new clip
I agree. :p I wasn't sure what you were getting at originally, but now I can see that it is a reasonable suggestion. (My point is that if you would have included your reason for your suggestion in your first post, you might have avoided dizzyone's rather undeserved vitriol.)
I was getting at one sentence suggestions, if you're not even going to bother to explain it, don't bother posting. Saying it should reload mid clip is not a solution, thus not a real suggestion. I don't really care either way tbh, if I'm going to lose those missiles, or mg bullets, i'd probly just shoot them anyhow, the heat and time is in all cases neglectible as its the end of your clip. You can have multiple weapons selected at one time, so just an r button isn't going to do it.
