Wishlist: "Ready Pre-Contact" Radio keybind

[Billy]

Hi HB team! I recently found the BOGEY DOPE radio keybind, and I think it's really helpful, to not look for the radio buttons on my keyboard when I'm trying to see bandits with my eye. Could you guys add a pre contact keybind too? I really suck at AAR, hope this can help a bit.

Have you tried Viacom? You can just say it

Unfortunately I damaged my vocal cords when singing, can't really talk now:(

Sorry to hear that, I see how that would be an issue.

As Heatblur is updating the F-14, binding "Ready pre-contact" like the FA-18 has would be very helpful for A/A refueling.

Just trying AAR again in the Tomcat and cannot agree more with this great request: An option to bind a button on the HOTAS like with the AV-8B / F/A-18 would be so great to just focus on flying rather than on looking to the keyboard and finding the right keys...!
