Fire control macro already allows for this. Most use it to leave the tag laser active all the time, but you could do it with any other weapon also.

There's a difference though. What I suggested is that your MGs only fire when your xhair lines up with a target.

The same thing could be done for TAG.

That's called aimboting and its illegal.

I guess you clicked and posted a reply on this thread without even reading the original post.

Anything that removes the need for clicking the fire button is a violation of TOS.

Or you could set up a toggle macro for machine guns, if holding down a button bothers you that much

Or we can petition PGI to make MGs burst fire with increased damage, so that we wouldn't have to face stare.

Nonsense, that'd buff the 6mg spider too much.

I believe there is already a battletech RPG/RTS in the works for all your automated needs.

MWO needs less automation. more dog-fights and less RNG.

Let's say that if you equip a Targeting Computer, you can set a certain number of Machine Guns (be they light, regular, or heavy) to auto fire when the crosshair lines up with an enemy 'Mech/structure and it's at the MG's optimal range.

The number of Machine Guns you can set is proportional to the Targeting Computer's level, e.g. 6 MGs for TC VI.

Why not for all weapons? Then just add extra coding so it makes your mech move so i can make cbills while not even playing.

I'd be super happy to see some weapons converted to toggles (MGs, Flamers, and such). It would still require player input to turn them on and off, but would remove the need for awkward hold-the-button-down mechanics from those weapons.

Ahhh, I must have missed that distinction, god noooooooooo. I thought you meant autofire hotkeys, I can't support it as this though.
