1 - Mk108 had no recoil effect affecting the firing plane. It should be really good to link 151/20 with the MGs and to have the chance to fire the 30mm alone (only when Mk108 are loaded). Firing only Mk108, the 190 could be an extremely stable platform. This way, the weapon combinations to fire would be as follows:
- 151/20 + MGs
- Mk108 alone.
- All the weapons.
2 - 151/20, MGs and 108 have very different ballistics and firing them is a mess to aim. IMO, a very useful option would be to separate weapons into primary, secondary and terciary and to have the chance to select witch ones do we want with tracers.
3 - I'm getting bored having to manage the fuel tanks manually all the time. IMO, the automatic sequence is anything but optimal. Better ones could be:
- [AUX(100%)] -> AFT(100%) -> FWD(100%) or
- [AUX(100%)] -> AFT(5%) -> FWD(2%) -> AFT(5%) -> FWD(2%) -> and so on.

absolutely been wanting that option for sometime

Can you expand on the fuel usage?
I was under the impression the auto sequence optimized C of G. Is that incorrect?

With the actual auto sequence you are using the AFT tank the last, so you'll have a more "tail-heavy" 190.
If you consider that filling all fuel tanks results in an "optimized" CG, then, obviously, if you use entirely one of them and then the other, the sequence is not optimal. For example, in the case of Ta152, the auto-squence is switching from tank to tank all the time, but not with any 190. If we have no "jumping" sequence, then I preffer to use AFT first 100% and then FWD.
