Weapon Callouts

When deploying weapons, each one has a specific callout that is announced by a pilot to their wingmen, communicating their current actions and mitigating the risk of confusion with RWR warnings or preventing multiple unnecessary hits on single targets that may already be destroyed.

All the relevant callouts used in VTOL VR are listed below.
