Can someone explain me what's the point of LOCK ON in RA1? When crosshair matches with green frame around target it becomes yellow, and FIRE sign appears below. Can I shoot some special missiles like in Panzer Dragoon and Afterburner or what? I mean it pisses me off because I can't aim properly because of it. Sometimes, while locking on, my guns just freeze for a moment. Especialy when enemy is really close and you need to act fast. I just want to understand how this feature is suppose to help me while it's not helping at all.

The green markers are only there to show you that these shoot be fired at. If you are into reach the green marker will turn yellos so you know you are within reach to destroy the target. There is no special weapon possible.
I've noticed a small amount of auto-aim in the game too, particularly when I got to level 4. The LOCK might signify that auto-aim is trying to take over.
