Because it's an RTS engine designed for all weapons to be fired. Go play CSS or something.

Well, CSS don't have any vehicles :wink: .

(Need to check what happens in FPS mode in Spring44 when one controls an infantry soldier... IIRC, the submachinegunners have both firearms as well as hand grenades and I hope THOSE are not used simultaneously in a "fire everything at once" kind of mode...)

This is worth further thought and investigation IMHO.

Sigh. Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 2

Battlefield 2142

BF2142 even has an RTS mode.
