Fight 1: OK, this is THE do or die battle for me. For me personally, out of all features in the DFD tournament, #504 is the one and only MUST HAVE feature. Heck, if it gets implemented my mod will literally be CENTERED around this feature.
Some more reasons that speak for this feature:
Reason 1:
#504 can emulate "fire by range" just as well, simply by giving each weapon the desired minimum and maximum range, let's say
[Weapon1]
Range=4
[Weapon2]
Range=10
MinimumRange=4.1
At the same time #504 can be used for so much more. Also, #192 is not part of DFD.
Reason 2:
It can also be used to emulate #726 (firing two weapons at the same time, even particle weapons), which already got killed.
Reason 3:
This is the only way to make units work exactly like, for example, 'Mechs in MechCommander. Which is what I intend to do in my mod, which is why I so desperately need it.
Reason 4:
It can also be used to make better "boss" units/buildings in singleplayer. I find boss units with just 1 uber-weapon unrealistic and boring, having multiple "normal" weapons would be more fun (especially if that unit has DistributedFire and OmniFire set to =yes)
Reason 5:
You could make units that get "upgraded" when they reach elite status. Example: A unit like the mammoth has a useless, dummy "Weapon3", but a real machinegun as EliteWeapon3. So once it reaches elite, it basically receives a new, additional weapon, that can be used against vehicles and infantry, which I personally prefer over just a stronger Primary weapon.
Reason 6:
Out of the features that take part in the DFD, I believe this is the one with the 2nd most support votes, so the number of modders that would use it is most likely far above average.
Reason 7:
Now that #981 More than 2 weapons on a unit is going to be implemented, this feature makes even more sense. Without #504, more than 2 weapons will only be really useful in some special cases, with #504, #981 can live up to its full glory.
Also, since #981 requires a rewrite of the SelectWeapon function I think it makes sense to keep #504 in mind while doing that, to make sure that #504 doesn't make another rewrite necessary later on.
I could probably come up with more, but I think this is sufficient for now.
And #284? It's a PURELY cosmetical feature, of almost zero gameplay value, that most people probably wouldn't use anyway.
Strongest imaginable support you can think of for #504, by all means kill #284.
EDIT: I didn't explicitly mention it, but I hope that IF it is implemented, it will be extended to "Make the units [and hopefully buildings as well] fire two or more weapons at the same time".
Fight 2:
I don't care much, I wouldn't mind if they both die. #1029 is more interesting but most likely requires massively more work, #336 has very little value but is most likely easier to implement.
I support #336 for that reason, #1029 sounds too difficult to implement for the value it adds, so kill #1029.
