Can we have some sort of visual indicator to show which planes have/haven't been armed, or some sort of warning if you leave the screen without arming all planes.

A couple of times, I've mucked up my campaign by missing to arm a plane.

Great idea.
 
I'd even like to have the main Hornet Graphic update to show the actual hardware attaching to their hardpoints, as to me it is just not intuitive as to why weapons can't be selected at times - ie: has the aircraft run out of hardpoints? Is there a way to better streamline the aircraft for optimal maneuver etc?
 
I'm surprised a 2'd top-down platform-type view wasn't included in this screen to show weapon stations and their options ie: like those provided in the RPG/Mech genre or many platform-based board games. Maybe an option to drag and drop the weaponry into place?

If I could have only one thing on the arming screen, it would be the ability to copy the loadout of one plane to others. Would save a lot of clickage...

Ditto on this. I've been working around this problem by always selecting my planes in a certain order. ATA pilots first best to worst, then mixed ATA ATG if any, then ATG best to worst. That way I don't have to skip around as much when arming but I too have still missed a plane on occasion even so.

Think of it as a "Special Event". I wonder if they would give you a Court Marshal for sending a pilot into battle unarmed?

There is a very simple manner to have this feature implemented: you can display the number of available weapon slots for each aircraft in the armament screen, near each hornet icon.

I totally agree it would be a very useful improvement.
