German and Soviet bombsight control panel, no fusing animation

[LukeFF]

While a number of Soviet planes have animated bomb fusing switches, no such feature is present on the bomb control panel present in almost all German planes. This makes it impossible to know if a bomb has been armed or not without Technochat enabled.

We should prepare to go away from mandatory technochat.

The only other sim with this is War Thunder, but in WT half of the cockpit doesn't work.

This chat kills the immersion, in VR it constantly reminds you it's only a game.

 

Adding this animation would be easy, but the team is working hard coding Bodenplatte.

Maybe they will find some spare time to add the animation

After having a look at some Soviet flight manuals, I now realize the lack of a bomb arming animation is also a problem with pretty much every Soviet-built plane. So, like I wrote above, it'd be nice to have this corrected for both sides. Having to use Technochat to see whether a bomb is armed is very inconvenient.

We need a setting to disable technochat AND native radio calls/subtitles if we choose.
