Bombsight zoom is gone?

[Jekyll]

Pardon my ignorance, but flew a buff for the first time tonight since 1.02 came out.

Am I correct in assuming that the bombsight 'zoom' feature no longer exists?

If so, WTG HTC ... a good way of forcing either realistic bombing altitudes, or encouraging buff formations for field attacks  

Of course, I may have just mapped my stick wrong again

if it is good ridance  

no more 30k stratodweeb buffs using laser norden  


from the looks of it so far seems its one of the best things to happen to buffs and buff hunters alike since the stronger buff airframes

Zoom has changed according to the readme file. Try Insert & Delete keys..

Zoom is still there.
Hit the "z" key in the bombsight, then use the [] keys to zoom in and out.  While zoom is still there, it is still much less accurate than before.

What MK VZ said.

There used to be TWO ways to zoom the bombsight.

• Using the bombsight's own zoom feature
• Using the "zoom view" that everybody has and usually uses on their gunsights.
• Using them both at the same time for super zoom levels.
  

Now they've removed the bombsight zoom so you must use the other zoom feature alone.

I like it.  It makes the game a bit less complicated.

Actually  both Zooms work,, but it's limited travel now..    Much better..
