Its a pretty simple solution to the problem of trying to fire weapons in pairs, such as large lasers or ac2's. With the current system its impossible without a 3rd party macro since even a few ms off on the timing and your getting heat penalties.

Well, the specific problem you're talking about can be fixed by putting them into a second weapon group. For example, if you have 4xAC/2 and you have the left 2 in group 1 and the right group in group 2, you can put the full 4 of them into group 3.

A better example of binding multiple things to one key would be to allow you to say, bind weapon group 6 and JJ to your spacebar. This way, you can JJ when you're in a JJ capable mech, but you can use spacebar as an easier to reach additional weapon group when you're not in a JJ capable mech. This would be really great for running say, TAG in an LRM mech with no JJ.

That idea is too good. Good ideas don't have any place here.

Well, one can hope...
