I have been scrolling with my mouse wheel to get the target view for aiming, then holding down my right mouse button to quickly get a ship view. When I let up on the right mouse button, it will immediately go back to target view. All that's okay, but I keep finding myself running aground or doing something else stupid because I have not paid enough attention to where my ship is going and became fixated on a target. What have you found to be the best way to keep an eye on ship navigation, then quickly go to target view? It really is aggravating me to keep making the same mistakes over and over. Obviously, I am doing something wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the start of the match I mouse wheel zoom all the way out, then use shift to get into bino to insure I am zoomed in bino's to where I need to be, then use shift to change between the two views.

Is left shift a toggle, or do I need to hold it down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll rarely need the mouse button..so much faster and efficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
