Zoom view?

Snapping views in and out with the 30/70/90 fovs is absurd because you'll lose the target during the snap, what is needed is a way to zoom smoothly in and out like in every other flight sim game there is. Except Cliffs of Dover.

It's apparent the views systems and commands in this game were designed by someone with no experience in flight sims and were given no thought at all in regards to playability. Why on earth would a basic view command the zoom require two buttons to be held down at the same time and not be assignable in the menu?
Why was this issue not addressed in any of the patches?

It makes sense otherwise it would be like giving pilots binoculars. The TrackIR zoom is a nice trade off but because of how it works the enemy cannot be enlarged that much. The FOV is ok but I find I stay in FOV 90 all the time save for when I try to identify a contact. I don't lose contacts switching between FOVs.

All in all I'd say it's ok, but the LOD and pixellation of contacts is the problem.
