Separate firing weapon groups like in crossout?

[gazza2929]

I can see you can fire all guns at once, or assign a group to a button to fire with only that group. But you can't say fire a machinegun while separately firing a cannon. Am I wrong? Using a controller but I cant see a way even with keyboard

I was about to start a thread but found this one. I have the same request. Would be great if instead of assigning a specific weapon in roles to have roles the parent and groupings the tree where you are able to say assign a grenade launcher and shotgun for close combat (only way I'd ever use those two otherwise its all direct fire for me).

Love the game!

I really hope it's implemented

press 0 (zero), you can do 6 groups

What were asking is one button/key to fire one ground anther anther button/key to fire anther, like in crossout

Sonido, thanks, aware. But I am looking at energy usage and survive-ability, I don't want full salvo every shot.

:edit: I thought it would be implied in the request but essentially the ability to assign 2 separate gun types to one person based on grouping.

The problem with weapon groups at the moment is that I can't assign the same weapon on two or more weapon groups at the same time.

Let's say I have 2 cannons, 1 machine gun and 1 flak. I'd prefer to have the cannons and the machine gun on WG 1 and machine gun and flak on WG 2. Now, machine gun can be either on 1 or 2, not both.

would be nice

Yeah like in Mechwarrior Mercenaries.

Maybe post a screenshot of the weapon assignment matrix so the devs have a better idea.

You can customize your fire group.
But you can't put the same weapon in two different fir groups.

right, is the point of this thread Inomsim ;)

I think they should allow assigning keys of both types:
• 1st type of key — switch to this weapon group, so the default shoot button shoots it (what we already have in the game)
• 2nd type — press this button and group №x would shoot. So for example you could map MGs to left mouse button and cannons to right (or leaving left button = shoot selected weapon group)

Ah, right, this is needed too sometimes

^^^^ ooooooooh I LIKE this!

you can customise weapon group all you want, but it doesn't reassign crew so they'll be sitting idly doing nothing, until you go into crew menu and flip them one by one.. during a fight while sitting around idle!

what they should have done is customised crew assignment instead of guns. so you can have 3 cannons and 3 machine guns and you can have 3 crew on cannons in crew group 1 and 3 crew on machine guns in crew group 2 and flip between them. or 2 on guns 1 on pumping or whatever..

and yes... i only have the pc and 3 crew. no idea how to get more yet.
