Allow More Than Two Buttons In Fire Groups

Sorry @Red Anders you know I never remember his name but who had some strong views on more than two fire buttons?
Unfortunately I have to say no to more fire buttons for weapons. I’d say yes to utility buttons similar to what we have in the gunner mode though.
The original limitation of two triggers is meant to keep combat fair between input methods such as keyboard/mouse, joysticks and gamepads. Adding more fire triggers - while would be nice - would upset this balance.

Starts with an 'M'...
I'll post it in 10 if you still can't remember
I want to say Mike?
Better say it then because you're right. Second name 'E'...
Evans?
Yay! 
This suggestion is not new. Unfortunately FD gave it a hard no many years ago. The simple reason: consoles and the button limits on their controllers.
As long as we don't have crossplay, i personally also don't see how the option to have more fire buttons would be an unfair advantage to us PC players, but that's how FD wants to do it.
What i personally would value even more would be more flexible utility slot buttons. We currently have dedicated buttons for heat sink, chaff, SCBs and something else... what was it... uh... ECM i think. Whatever that is again, has anybody slotted one of those in the last 5 years?
At the same time, some other things need to be put on fire groups. Most prominently in my eyes, the shutdown field neutraliser. What i'd really like to see would be, if the currently existing bindings for those specific tools would rather be changed to be "Utility A/B/C/D" and you could put different things on different buttons, the same way you can put weapons on the two fire buttons.
A lot of flexibility gained, just by extending the existing system to also include a few utilities.

Agree completely with the Field Neutralizer (and other utility) suggestions. Also find the rational for no additional fire buttons unconvincing, especially considering all the things you an do with programable sticks/pads.
