It's quite easy in the 94 and 42 to shoot the gimballed guns when they are in fact at gimbal limit. The only way to know is to look out the window and see the crosshair being off target, or realising the rounds are going way off target, which implies already firing towards a random place (suboptimal).

What can be done :

adding GUN GIMBAL LIMIT messages to the TADS (like TADS gimbal limit message) and HMCS
adding a safety toggleable in SMS so that the gun will not fire if not on target

the 1st option is way more useful, but the 2nd at least makes sure you aren't indiscriminately spraying cannon rounds.

Could also make the crosshair start flashing red

real gazelle on the TADS page, yeah maybe

Nah I was more thinking the one on your JHMCS

#

OR draw the limit overlay in world

#

meh, the whole point is that if you're already looking out you'll see the crossair not lined up with TADS

#

it's for situation where you're head in the cockpit

I think it should be on tads and also the HMCS
