As for the sniping zoom changes you've proposed, they seem much more convoluted and inconsistent with the default Hawken control style. MMB is used for zoom for SS and for lock-on with Rocketeer. If you learn to use the MMB, you'll be adept at both mechs since this control will no longer be foreign to you. I know of some players re-binding their zoom to the "Q" and "E" keys since their fingers are right there anyway for movement. Quick-scoping also isn't really super necessary in this game. It's not like you can quick-scope in and headshot your enemy and scope out. Usually, you want to be scoped in until you've killed your opponent (which can take more than two seconds) or he's run away out of view.
For TOW/GL detonation, yes you have to have near perfect timing, that's called a SKILL and it's something you pick up by playing the game, there are no shortcuts here. Practice in the offline training modes if you must.
It seems a lot more work to make these macro changes and learn to use them than to just learn the default controls. Maybe reset your controls to default and give it an earnest try.
Come on guy, you've posted in "Strategy and Tactics", let's use them.
Also, what did you mean by comboing flak and sabot....

Reaper doesn't have the flak cannon. I'm guessing you probably meant Slug Rifle and Sabot.
