As the topic says...with the new Mechlab UI coming up where we can group our weapons in the mechbay, I think it'd be very useful and neat to show your heat efficiency for grouped weapons that you group, since when you make a mech with a mix of long and short range weapons, you're not always firing everything at once anyway, and I find myself all the time taking out weapons to see just what firing certain weapons will do.

I'd be interested in seeing this, but using weapon groups as the tool wouldn't give me what I'm after. I use multiple weapon groups for certain range brackets (Eg, I might have a couple of lasers and an AC/20 for short range, on seperate weapon groups, then LRMs and a PPC for medium/long range).

I want to know how heat efficient I am within a certain range bracket. I have a cplt-c4 with 2 ML, 3 SSRM2 and an LRM20. Between 180 and 270m, it has a massive ditch in heat efficiency because all of my weapons are in firing range. Outside that range, it's quite efficient.

*double bump* =P

@ The Cheese: Yeah I see what you mean. Perhaps we could select certain groups and see the combined heat efficiency of those groups then.

useless option.

Know your map (provided we EVER get that option) and choose your loadouts accordingly. That's what we did in the planetary leagues.....

oook...

or i can just continue to remove certain weapons to see what the heat efficiency's of certain groups/ranges will be if this never gets added. I can't be the only one who does this. I mean nobody is firing their LRM's and small/medium lasers at the same time...right?

Ok well actually I have seen some people trying to do that sadly at 700m+ lol

I would really like to see this happen. Like you said, we can remove the weapons to check, but listing them separately would be great.
