More than 2 weapons for a craft?

[MKSheppard]

Just what it says. Would be nice to have options of slot #3 and #4 open if we wanted to.

Technically you can have as many craft weapons as you want... but where would we put them on the UI?

It seems to me that you could fit #3 and #4 on the UI if the craft isn't carrying troops -- something to give more advantages to pure fighters in a mod?

Hum, I'm not sure that 2 more weapons is good for game balance, I like attack large UFO's with 2 or 3 interceptors (and lost 1 or 2 in dogfight :p). But it's interesting if you using this extra slots for specials improvements (antijamming, tank fuel, electronic protection ...), like UFO:AI (next build 2.5 is very interesting).

What about the ability to choose the weapon used for an attack?
Say you have an Interceptor with one Avalanche and one Stingray mount - or one Fusion Ball Launcher and one Plasma beam. When attacking a very small craft you would'nt want to waste expensive ammo on that. But you have to, as the weapon with the longest range automatically fires first.

You can click on the weapons during interception to enable/disable them.

Has this always been implemented or have I overlooked this feature for the last 20 years?
i don't normally use such combinations, so I guess I just never thought about it before.

No it was specifically added in OpenXcom.

XCom Apoc have samething too

To balance the game, in Apoc  there is an attribute size for weapons slot
Cannon could be the smallest, instead  Fusion Ball Launcher the huge.

Skyranger could have a cannon but not a missile system ...

For OpenXcom we have a lot of new mods with new aircraft such as Sentinel, Raven, Thunderbird, etc.
New weapons slot could be a way to diversificate them

With size attribute could be possible have weapons type with different charge number:
Sentinel could mount lancer with double charge than Thunderbird as example

Sorry I am registered from few day

I read in

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=2158.0

about a collection of extra vessels.

It could be a good start point for the new proposals

PS:Thunder with only one weapon slot, in my opinion is too weak.
