I also play RFB & RSRDC with the real US medals fix & I thoroughly enjoy it. My suggestion would be to go ahead & use manual targeting in some practice runs until you get at least one technique down pat; there are a few excellent tutorials around some are video tutorials (I think they are the easiest to understand) that can be found on Youtube & here.
If you already are comfortable with manual targetting, there's nothing between you & a supermod but air & opportunity
