[FEATURE] Weapon Jettison #43

Open NodokaHanamura opened 1 year ago

Feature Description Implement an option to select and jettison certain weapons from the aircraft.

How would this function work? Utilizing a keybind, certain weapon types (and later hardpoints) can be jettisoned from the aircraft by selecting them, which will turn the weapon in the weapon list red. Upon pressing another keybind, the player can jettison the selected munitions, or, if in a hurry, the player can simply press the keybind on a specific weapon twice (to confirm) jettisoning it. The weapons should then be treated similar to the existing fuelbomb logic, and be dumped from the aircraft.

Why is this feature important? In combat engagements, maneuverability is vital. Even if missiles right now are extremely unrealistic, there is still a need to drop one's 'dead weight' and be able to become more maneuverable.

Any examples as to how this feature would work?
