Helicopter controls: LOCK TARGET without ZOOM ?

[-)rStrangelove 0]

Hey guys,

finally took the time to redo all my controls in ArmA2: OA.

I was wondering: is there a way to lock a target in the crosshairs directly without zooming in? (it says: LOCK OR ZOOM)

Switching targets via TAB isnt my cup of tea, esp when you fly over a hilltop and have 10 targets in sight. Good luck targetting the shilka in 3 secs. :)

Any other control-combinations (2 or more on 1 key) you guys came over? What makes sense for quicker reactions?

Best way I find is to get ur ai gunner to target the shilka from as far away as possible using F2 > 2 > target shilka.. And then once helicopter is lined up, pop up over ridge and fire and then drop down again.

I know it's neither fast nor slick but atleast u can scan all targets in the target list for the most dangerous and pick them out before they pick you out.
