Secondary fire on vehicles.

Let's say I wanted to assign a weapon with two projectiles (rocket launcher, plasma pistol) to a vehicle. Is there any way to keep the secondary proj. It's a flying vehicle and I want it to be able to lock onto other vehicles with it's rocket. Also, I switched the rocket's proj's to pelican rockets, since they look cooler and it takes two of them to drop a light vehicle and three to drop a tank--makes it more balanced. But the homing flag is on the weapon, so changing the proj shouldn't mess it up, right?
I tried keeping the rocket's hud, but this left it with no hud at all and it still didn't lock on. I even tried giving lock-on to the primary fire but it still had no effect. Any thoughts.
[edit] Also, when I try to edit the proj spawn point in dothalo it doesn't seem to have any effect. How do you move it?

In first person you lose about a third of the screen to that metal plate thing on the front of the tank. But I suppose it'd be worth it if you could lock on...though I think I've got it pretty well balanced as it is. I gave it a weakened chaingun. Now it pulverizes anything on the ground, but a banshee can be a tough fight, and I think a flying warthog could probably beat it without too much trouble.
I wonder if I can get rid of the metal plate. Seems it moves when it gets damaged, so I might be able to mess with permutations or something.
I'm still baffled as to why I can't move the projectiles. Is that something you just can't do with vehicles? They seem to spawn about where the tank turret would've been, which is wierd since they should be in the place the banshee guns would've been.
