Since I haven't seen it explained and I discovered it by accident,
What I do to lock onto a target is to zoom in and hold R1 until the target marker goes from blue to red, then release R1.
Do you have to zoom first?
Also, is it just my imagination, or are there no skills for reducing lock-on time? |

You got it. No you don't have to zoom every time but it can help with long shots across the map.
If there isn't a way to reduce lock on time there needs to be one.
*edit : once you have lock you can shoot up into the sky over obstacles, or away from your target, or even lead the target if they are heading into or out of cover and get a better missile grouping and cleaner shot. |

Yeah, i stumbled across this by accident. It helps to maintain a clear visual, no rocks close or buildings, because the swarm missles have crazy flight paths. |

I got fired at by some guy who locked on, drove almost straight on and right past the missiles. Next thing I know the missiles do a 90 degree turn and hit me from the back. Congrats to the devs for the high degree of realism. Also the missiles should have destroyed my militia LAV |

Degree of realism? Well in current modern times missiles can pull some incredibly impressive maneuvers. So in a future with immortal mercenaries, space ships and lasers I expect missiles will be nigh impossible to out maneuver. |

Some visual range air to air can shoot to rear of aircraft, and make 60g turns. A roller coasters only do about 4g, fighter 9-12g, 16g can be fatal. Eve missiles should be able to do better then current. |
