Feedback on a few control settings that could use changes/decoupling

Following a few posts talking about the Liz missile, I found out that its sensitivity to turning is tied to  the Vehicle Aim sensitivity.

The problem with that is that is that by cranking the Vehicle Aim sensitivity in order to optimize the liz missiles, one makes the aiming on the actual vehicles uncomfortably fast.

I would like to suggest that First person view remote controlled missiles like the Liz missile and the portal's TV missiles  could use their own sensitivity slider that is independent from the generic vehicle sensitivity.

In the same spirit there is also a long standing issue with another settings conflict

In the infantry settings there is that toggle called something like ADS FoV that applies the current FoV settings for the infantry to when they are Aiming Down Sights with their gun. This is a setting that is favored by many people since it also helps control the recoil of guns better.

But at the same time this infantry ADS FoV toggle also applies to the Zoom in functionality of various vehicles like jets, helicopters and gunner seats. For vehicles this results in a smaller zoom than normal due to the applied FoV settings.

Because of that I believe that there should be a change that prevents the infantry ADS FoV toggle from affecting the vehicle zoom in. The vehicle zoom in should not be affected or it should have its own independent toggle.

In the future, I or someone else will hopefully provide visual evidence of the issue too.

Thanks for your time and I hope that these improvements are considered as they would benefit everyone who uses those assets.

Edit, also with the liz missile if you have the vehicle boost set to toggle, you cannot turn off the boost of the liz missile once you turn it on, it goes full throttle until it hits something or it expires

    I was struggling to find the boost input for Lis’ missile the other day. If these things had their own independent settings I wouldn’t have had to press every button on my keyboard just to find the input for it or have to ask other players on a forum which button to press. 

    Be nice to have independent settings for the lis’  missile, the UAV and Casper’s drone etc so I can match them all to my heli settings since the UAV and drone are technically heli’s anyway. You know, because of muscle memory and QoL. 

    I also had issues with conflicting sprint settings because there’s 3 menus containing different sprint options. There’s absolutely no need to have unnecessary complexity in a UI.

    100% on board with this...I mean this is FPS 101 to have the FoV different based on zoom levels and separated. And the Lis missile thing, it's horrible. I can't imagine anyone tested that function. I'm resorting to raising my mouse DPI to stupid levels before firing the missile and then back to normal right after. This is, time consuming, costs me lives sometimes as someone approaches during transition or while I'm at 4500DPI, (I normally play 800) and isn't conducive to fun. It's a PITA tbh. Please fix this...
