It's always bad when I lose the side torso on my Mad Dog, only to find that my remaining missile ammo is gone with that side torso, and I have yet a good missile launcher in the other torso!

I suggest that the location from which ammo is drawn for ammunition-consuming weapons be capable of being changed by the player in combat.

For example, my Mad Dog's right torso loses all of its armor and goes to yellow internals. I want to prioritize ammo draw from the right torso for my missile launchers, since the right torso is more likely to be destroyed sooner than my left torso with 100% armor.

Yes this should have been done from day 1 or let us decide where to prioritize where ammo should be used first.

I'm not sure about during combat, but I could definitely see setting that in the mechlab.

Would add to the "simulation" aspect of the game.

Yes it would, kinda like drawing extra power to the forward shields from the rear in space sims.

Oh my god yes

Perhaps not in-match, but I'd love to choose priorities. Kinda like a list, which can be drag-and-drop changed in the mechlab .

1: Right Torso
2: Left Leg
3: Head
4: CT

ETC, ETC

It would not only make it feel more like a simulator, but it would be REALLY helpful to some 'Mechs that have all their ammo stored away in an easy-to-destroy spot.

Please PGI!

I would pay money for this! (Though we shouldn't have to!)
