Default Re: Weapon selection screen

This may be corny, but using the imagination, you could almost see your unit's crew in action...say it's a tank, and you spot an enemy tank. You hit the T key, and as you click on the enemy tank, the commander is barking his order, "Gunner! Sabot...tank" and the gunner replies "Identified!"...as you press the 1 key, the gunner is pressing an identical button for main gun APDS...the loader yells "Up!" and the commander yells "Fire!"...

Did I just stumble on a new feature for WinSPMBT? Digitized voice clips? In multiple languages, with nation-appropriate commands? This could extend to artillery...forward observers calling specific types of fire...battery fire orders...even fighter-bombers "rolling in"...

This may introduce a bit of the "human" feel that is missing in such wargames, to remind players that these are representative of living people. Might make one be less callous with their units, who knows...
