What I'm looking to suggest is better camera tracking. As it is the camera pans just enough so your target is on the extreme edge of the screen, which makes it especially tough for those of us using cannons or dual beam weapons. I'm not saying it needs to lock the target to the middle of the screen, just closer to the middle.
Now, if there's an option I somehow missed that tracks enemy targets better please tell me where it is and I'll go back to getting stomped by hirogen hunting parties.
