In that case, should the coax be a selectable weapon? IE 1-Sabot 2-HEAT 3-Coax and then right click zoom?

Sounds right to me Paladin.

Not really.

could the mousewheel be the zoom for the sight then?

i like that layout then, i use 1-2 to select ammo types. course it could be something that you change in your controlls, but having those 3 tank commands right there on your mouse is, i think, a good way to go.

After playing with it, I realized that putting coax on the weapon selection is not a good idea. When you switch to coax, then back to the main gun, you have to wait for the reload delay. I will try mapping coax to a different key instead. So if for instance, I map to sprint or crouch for coax (not sure if it'll work yet) you could always map that key to mouse button three in your options. How does that sound?

zoom would allow for much more realistic tank battles too. Since tanks dont normally fire at things 4meters away...

yes, but normally the view distance is much farther as well....

im hoping for that to change also. Would make sniping allot better also. Since in bf2 the barret was more powerful but in reality mm where any sniper is capable of instant kill the only thing that would make the barret better is distance, currently the mod and bf2 lacks any of it.

that's something for the full mod i think. but i agree with you.

Mousewheel is mapped to weapon selection. That's not really something I can change.

ah, oh well, having it as an option will mean that tanks and infantry have to work together that much more because gunners wont be able to cover themselves as easily.

reload delay when switching makes since because you have to pull the old shell out and put in a new one
