The thing is I like to see where they land still, so disabling the camera entirely can still be a problem there. Also the whole 'one projectile at a time' can result in some really slow automatic weapons fire.

That said, thanks! Having to hold down a button is a bit awkward, but I'll try that next time I dive into some OXCE.

After a while it's no different than holding CTRL and then click to make your unit "running" instead of walking (only available if you enabled alternate movement in the options) or CTRL + shoot to force shooting despite "no line of fire" (useful for explosives).
One more complicated is CTRL+SHIFT + shoot , it's always fun and useful (especially when you have a few targets in view) when using auto weapons :

Yep, I've used those all too, those are just more situational. Though I suppose the ALT shoot itself could be used situationally with more problem weapons.

[Mathel]

I've sometimes accidentally ALT-shot when I was checking how much damage I could do and forgot to release ALT.

Primaris Weapons tiers and research gating
Tier 0 (starting):
- 1 unscoped carbine [Basically a standard Astartes Boltgun, specced for 2x snapshot/shorter range rapid fire combat. Cheap TU Snap/Autofire. Some ammo upgrade potential after adamantium/mid-tier/MC ammo research to keep the gun relevant]

Tier 1 (unlocked pre mid-tier):
- Scoped Occulus carbine [Scoped Carbine can be locked behind the motion sensor for the better optics] [Standard mid-range boltgun]
- Cawl standard Bolter [Kraken Ammo behind Adamantium] [DMR type Boltgun]
- Heavy Bolt Pistol [Unlocked after researching Adamantium Better AP Kraken Ammo gating]

Tier 2 (mid-tier+ gated):
- Heavy Bolt Rifle [DMR role, packs a paunch like a heavy bolter or sniper rifle]
- Assault Bolter
- Fancier Absolvor Heavy Bolt Pistol [comparable to the 40mm stub cannon sidearm guard gets]
- Melta Rifle [A beefier version of the Conversion/Harmonic Beamer melta - a melta lascannon]
- Exterminator Plasma gun

Tier 3 (Ceramite tier gated):
- Executor Heavy Bolt Rifle with special sauce ammo [Competing with Heavy Gravis inbuilt Autocannons]
- any Mastercrafted versions of previous Bolters / MC Ammo types for compatible weapons
- Heavy/Assault Incinerator Plasma
[Plasma weapons gating behind Chaos Dekker/Heavy Plasmas]
[Special Ammo types behind high tier master-crafting]
[Cawl/Primaris Plasma do not suffer overheating, supposedly more rapid fire and better than normal plasma, so somewhere inbetween those and the MC Plasmas if we want to avoid having to make Golden Primaris Plasma weapons]

ORKS:
- Higher Aggressiveness values for mainly Evil Sunz (red) Orks to get them into proper krumpin' range. Slightly higher values for some other Orks as well.
Coding:- Heavy Lascannon Orks 2x2 (Kris)
Coding: - Implement New Kommando Nobz unit (Xom)


TYRANIDS:
- Genestealer Primarch and Broodlords added (by Theron). These big boys are dangerous, killing them causes morale issues for GSC units.

CHAOS:
