Title: Salvo Wish
Post by: Lone82 on September 01, 2013, 05:00:49 AM
Make it to where we have a hot key to increase/decrease salvo so you could adjust it quickly.

No its not hard, but if your typing is all hunt and peck it can take too long.    Some of us still do real man work for a living and don't use a keyboard. :old:

Well put that's funny, I do agree though it would be nice to have a hot key, I often try to adjust salvo while dropping so that I don't waste bombs on a softer target that might be in line with something that's harder first, rather than extend out and change salvo I will do it in between targets which sometimes can be a bit testy. It would be nice to have it a little easier to do.

using the .squelch command use to be a major choir for a poor spelling hunt and peck typer like me but like anything else a LOT of practice has made it very easy.  :noid

Exactly 9thFE :aok. Sometimes I need to go from Salvo 3 to Salvo 1 then back to Salvo 3 in a matter of seconds and with my blazing 3 WPM typing skill (it's actually 6 WPM but ya gotta account for errors) it's not possible.

I would like to see separate salvo commands.

.bsalvo for bombs and .rsalvo for rockets.

but then I only fly 38s   :old:

may I suggest using a keyboard with built in macros then?  the reason I mention it is because there arent many key's left to use and even if you get 2 they may not be next to each other.

The only time typing .salvo is tough is when you're flying 7 sectors NOE over hilly terrain to hit the HQ..........but you get a few seconds when you pop up to climb before calibrating.

Been there... done that.. not fun :lol

But would it be such a bad thing to have in the game?  Personally, I probably wouldn't use it.  Doesn't mean that others wouldn't.  But that's just me...
