The zoom function for the targeting pods of planes and helicopters in the game is very inconvenient. When using the right mouse button alone to zoom the view, it is frustrating to search for targets with the targeting pod due to the large difference in zoom levels. On the other hand, adjusting the zoom level with the mouse wheel is very convenient. Additionally, using the mouse wheel to control the throttle of planes and helicopters in the game is much more convenient than using the keyboard, which creates a conflict in the in-game settings. Another issue is that in air combat settings, the zoom axis can adjust zoom in both third-person view and targeting pod view, which is inconvenient for players who want to use the mouse wheel to adjust the throttle in third-person view while adjusting zoom in the targeting pod view with the mouse wheel.
Therefore, I suggest separating the zoom axis function and making the targeting pod zoom function independent by setting up a dedicated zoom axis for the targeting pod in the settings. Alternatively, the throttle axis for planes and helicopters, third-person view zoom, and targeting pod view zoom could each have their own setting, allowing independent sensitivity adjustment. For planes without a targeting pod but equipped with TV-guided weapons, the zoom function for the TV-guided aim view could be integrated with the targeting pod zoom function, which would make CAS in ground combat mode more convenient for players.
In summary, I hope it will be possible to finely adjust the throttle with the mouse wheel in third-person view, and adjust the zoom in the targeting pod view with the mouse wheel, without affecting the throttle of planes and helicopters, and to also adjust the throttle in the targeting pod view using the keyboard. I sincerely hope this will be considered.
