Torpedo Selection and Artillery Aiming View Keys

I programmed two side buttons on my mouse, one for #1 (HE), and the other to represent the middle mouse button that selects my torpedoes. When I am driving a destroyer, the system works well. Press one button and I'm in the torpedo aiming view, then the second button and I'm firing HE again. I run into problems, though when I'm driving a cruiser and am shooting AP. I have found that when I switch to my torpedo firing view and then back to the normal view, that I have to stop and reload AP. I play both DD and CA back to back, depending on my time and mood, and want to avoid reprogramming my mouse buttons after ever DD or CA match.

 

Am I missing a much easier way to switch to torpedo view quickly, then back to aiming view? I don't want to press something on the keyboard if I can help it, but I do have the two mouse buttons i can program to represent any key or keystroke series. Thanks.

Numpad 1 selects your last shell, numpad 3 selects your torpedoes, though you have to remove the <!-- and --> from, the command_mapping_config.xml file at the IDS_WEAPONGROUPS section.

You'll need 3 buttons on your mouse for HE, AP, and Torpedo if you don't want to reprogram.

Hitting the ammo button won't return you to your last loaded.. but to the ammo button you push.  eg: Selected torpedoes, hit 1 it loads HE.  Hit 2 it loads AP.

Yes, this was what I was thinking as well, but I was also hoping I had simply missed some wonderful super key. I guess I could go back to using the middle mouse button. and the two side buttons, all of which are programmable.

 

Suggestions from other respondents were also helpful and insightful. Thanks to everyone. +1
