It seems to me like a massively wordy version of saying "I want a keyboard button that can switch WeaponTypes on a unit." While such a thing could, I guess, be handy in some mods, this isn't Generals - there's no contextual command bar to tell you what mode your unit is currently in. This could easily lead to confusion among players who don't know what their units are meant to be shooting, or even accidentally switch their modes through an accidental keypress. Also, the requested implementation sounds rather complicated. A simpler method would surely just be more Primary/Secondary/Tertiary/Foobary tags and the button that swaps them about?
The problem with "Swap them About" is that you would never be sure on your unit's mode (had this problem). Also, the reason it's so wordy it's because I SPECED IT OUT, and (at least parts 1, 2, and 3) would be easy to implement. Part #4 is harder, but it can wait a version or so.
Yes, #1042 is my issue, but I think it's a major gameplay boost and (after #983 is implemented) will be a quick add-in - just ask DCoder. Because it's 2 mode keys, if you're not sure about a unit's mode, just touch the wanted mode key.
