Unless I'm mistaken, Thirsting Blade and Improved Pact Weapon on a Hexblade warlock with Pact of the Blade, would mean you could attack twice with a summoned Heavy Crossbow, bypassing the restriction on loading due to the wording of Thirsting Blade, using Charisma and even Hexblade's Curse, Branding Smite and Banishing Smite with the Heavy Crossbow.
That actually sounds awesome.

I have used a variation of this build with a longbow, and it does work. If your character can get their hands on an Oathbow and make it their pact weapon, then they will really shine, and it will allow to you to drop the Improved Pact Weapon invocation and pick another one.

Thirsting Blade doesn't bypass the Loading property on crossbows any more than Extra Attack does. You could use a longbow instead.
Don't forget Eldritch Smite.
