You do not get any more zoom than that.
But what you should do (if you haven't done already) is adjusting your head position in the driver seat. The default vision sucks, use pgup/arrows to stick your virtual head outside. To that for every view in this position (forward, fwd/left, left, etc.)

hehe, I think you were holding out on them. Wink

Use the F8 key to change view modes in conjunction with zoom. Then use the numeric keypad 2, to pan down. Experiment with the other keys on the keypad to see the effect.

F1 returns you to the normal view.

F8 mode only works in training or offline. Lusche is describing the best way to set up your dirvers vision. As far as aiming down the barrel, the Z key followed by brackets ([ & ]) are the only way to adjust the main gun.

You may confuse the modes. F3 (external) is the one only working offline. F8 is simply pan mode, which always works.

You Hit F8 then numeric 8 and 2 to adjust then hit F10 to save head position...big advantage as far as aiming the panzer goes.
