Salvo "on" Salvo "off"

What a nice command this would be.  Say you set salvo "6" but in course of your business you see something not worthy of  six bombs but only one.

I think this has been called a "pickle" command in past games.

I always use Salvo 1 and pickle all weapons manually.

You can pull trigger in .05 second intervals?  Impressive.

I do lots of cocaine so I can basically do anything in .05 seconds.

i salvo manually too, i much prefer it to automatically setting salvo's.

And zanth, what do you really need 0.05 salvo accuracy for anyway?  I can easily take down hangers by manually salvo'ing, and i find i can get a much nicer spread of bombs on factories/towns by judging when to drop them myself.
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.
