Symmetric Loadout OPTION

[Renko]

Most of the time users on SinglePlayer or Multiplayer, or even Editors, will use Symmetric Payloads.

This repetitive dance mouse click & selections of same weapons for each station when those are symmetric could be avoided.
Making the user experience better.

My proposal is to have an option in the rearm menu to be able to have Symmetric Loadouts without the need to repeat same actions for symmetric stations.
For example with the F18 on the image and the option active (by default) when the users loads an AIM-9M on the Station nº9, the UI will replicate the same weapon on the Station nº1.

We have now an option to copy Fuze Setting which is great.
And i think it will be a great QOL addition to have this Symmetric Loadout Option for Payloads

Yes. It would save so much time rearming, especially because most WW2, Cold War jets, helicopters etc. were using symmetrical loadouts nearly 100% of the time.

In practice only a few multirole jets sometimes use assymetrical loadouts.

Yes that should be the default 

[Bob_Petuss]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

+1 to this idea

This has been requested for over a decade now................

Yes, absolutely!

The only aircraft where I consistently use asymmetric load outs is the Kiowa.

I notice the M-2000 loads this way by default. Of course because that’s the only way it would be done. I’m sure other modules could be similar. Perhaps it’s a module implemented thing.

Yeah , pretty sad to have it this way isn't it ?

[joey45]

Yes please

Why not just save the loadout you made, give it a name, and then all you have to do is just select it from the drop down menu? That saves more time than anything honestly. I get the idea but the saving loadouts options is pretty good.
