Agreed, AMS toggle would be a good thing.

On a side note, It appears that the AMS does not see terrain as an obstacle to it's targeting. I've had my AMS attempt to engage missiles fired outside a cave I was traversing. The cave walls were clearly between me and the missiles and I assume the walls were preventing my AMS from disabling the missiles but the AMS rattled away at them anyhow.

A bug fix on that would be nice.

This - if AMS worked based on the ability to not see missiles coming through terrain, buildings, caves, etc., then there would be no need for the toggle (except perhaps when trying to avoid detection by side-line missile detection).

Agreed... simply have a toggle solves the problem.

+1 for toggle

I realised yesterday that whilst I was cowering behind a building listening to the impact of missiles on the building that my 2 tons of AMS was heroically trying to protect the building from destruction.

Now whilst I applaud the saving of property, I don’t applaud it at the expense of my 2 tons of AMS ammo!

As such I would like to suggest the ability to turn my AMS on and off

I agree. Just pull the trigger to turn it on or off, like a weapon.
(Not pull the trigger to make it shoot while missiles are coming. I just mean, hit the number button or select it and shoot to turn it on or off.) Would be nice.

Pugs don't know.... HAR I do.
I asked the Dev's recently if my AMS will please do a LOS check on incoming fire. But I always want it on, I don't have the play style that requires disabling AMS. So, +1 for toggle, support the light sneaks there. Conserving AMS ammo AND prioritizing fire over friendlies is my goal, LOS check algorythm seems logical.
