Default Identify fire mode on the HUD

Another very small suggestion (or rather, two);

- When selecting a fire mode, change the text to read whether you are switching between fully automatic or single shot, not just "normal" and "alt fire". Not only does it look a little neater, but it's useful for those not familiar with WW2 weapons to know what the "alternative" fire mode is. Perhaps a small animation of using the selector switch.

- Add a small icon to the HUD, perhaps by the ammo counter, to tell you your current fire mode. Have it display only when using the tactical display, reloading, or changing fire mode. Also, combine the reloading check to display your fire mode, ie "Weapon is close to empty, fire mode is automatic"

I know it's only small changes, but I suggest them as quite often I want to check my current fire mode without having to change it, so its one of those little things I like to know, or be able to check easily, as a real soldier would.

I agree, though I find it unnecessary to add the text for ammo checking. Everything else sounds great.
