How to make sure I don't hit same vehicle twice when using "Next Target" key to hit multiple vehicles at once?

[Jester504 109]

I'm using Firewill's amazing F15 to attack multiple vehicle targets at once. I hit R (next target), release, hit R again for a new vehicle, release, and 80% of the time when I hit R for the third time it goes back to the first vehicle, even though there are several more nearby that haven't been targeted yet. If I'm not paying very close attention (hard to tell which vehicle is targeted from 2km+ away), this results in wasting munitions on an already-doomed vehicle.

 

It's an annoying behavior - I just want to cycle through all targets sequentially and only go back to the first one when there are no more targets available. In a real jet, you have a list of available targets and are able to individually and specifically select each one as needed. Arma's arcade-like targeting behavior actually makes this harder than it should be.

 

Any advice?

You may want to throw this the direction of the mission editing side, hell maybe even config editing if youre looking to edit the plane mechs. I do see the same behaviours, but generally i am not able to select the same target aprox 30 seconds after the vehicle has been destroyed. Obviously admist combat 30 seconds is a lot but i believe it does disallow selection of the vehicle after a given period of time.
