I have 12 lasers on my Nova, it is pretty difficult to figure out what is where in battlefield, so I figured I would do it in the mechlab, except you cannot assign a specific laser to a specific weapon group, it works just like like the battlefield, except you cannot fire the weapon to figure out where it is located.

At this point, either I fail to understand the purpose of the mechlab weapon grouping, or PGI failed to understand it.

NOTE:
this would be less of a problem if some mechs didn't automatically reset their weapon groups every match, or if there weren't mechs with 24 hardpoints.

I actually suggested on the "small things" thread to add to the HUD the location of the weapon on the mech. I guess it could ALSO be added to the Weapon Groups part on mechlab.

Setting Chain Fire in that section would be appreciated... as that hasn't been addressed to my knowledge (I stopped bothering to do that since it took PGI so long to add it until UI 2.0).

Labeling locations of where the weapon comes/fires from should not be Lostech.

Add the weapons in one arm, set group. Add weapons in next arm, set group. I know its mind bogglingly complicated, but you'll get the hang of it after a few months.

That is woefully unproductive... as that'll take a minute minimum if you're trying to build a classic Hunchback-4P (9 med lasers) like that.

You can't set the weapon groups until the config is saved, thus adds actual time to building a mech.

This is the stuff that was not an issue in MW3 AND MW4.
They are clearly labeled in each section when setting up weapon groups for those respective games.

I repeat, how is this supposed to be Lostech?
