I always thought this was a good feature at the old Virtual World version of the game. Give us a chance to eject ammo that is onfire, taking crit hits or just dump it because the weapon was destroyed.

Would be a good idea, espically if chance for ammo to explode was actually mesureable.

This should definitely be added to the game, but it should be automatic.

1) ammo should automatically jettison when all weapons that use that ammo are destroyed. So if your last AC/5 gets destroyed, all your AC/5 ammo should automatically be jettisoned.

2) you should be able to manually jettison all ammo of one type by selecting a weapon with the arrow keys and pressing shift-j (for jettison). So if you selected an AC/5 and pressed shift-j, all AC/5 ammo would be jettisoned.

3) the ammo explosion chance should be increased to compensate for being able to eject ammo when your armor is breached.

Automatic ruins from immersion of 'sim-like' (pressing your keys simulating pressing buttons in cockpit).

Also, a key press was required to eject ammo in Mech Warrior 3. It was possible in that game.
