Just like weapon groups, LATT would be a much stronger feature for the game if you added an in-game toggle. It could sit right beneath AMS and ECM on the bottom right of the HUD, and function identically to ECM. Have a hotkey to LATT, and toggle the same hotkey to disable. Simple, elegant, and quick for when you have a large Mechbay.

I plan to use LATT on my CTF-3D and Ilya, but not my Atlas, and asking me to enter the options menu and check the box is a really clunky way to add this feature. Thank you.

Edit: I am aware of the Shift key, but it's not a true "toggle".

The toggle is much easier. Trying to hold down my hotkey for lock-arms was difficult (my Shift key is reserved for Alpha Strike). I like the toggle option. One less key to remember to hold down.

I absolutely agree. The toggle would help rather than a 'press and hold' option that's in place.

With all the buttons laid out before you with the start up sequence. You still have to climb out your cockpit and remove a panel and adjust your LATT on the outside.

So you want an easy 'easy button'?


Honestly, I'd prefer LATT wasn't in the game at all, because I do think it will make my life too easy. When I don't have to reconcile the tracking times between my arms and torso it takes a ton of guesswork out of the game.

However, since PGI has decided to introduce it, they would be well served to create a workable UI to go along with it.
