No, Nick decides what method is best to stop the attack with. Just click on the threat (plane, vehicle, person, etc.,) and Nick will prevail. Or even, if you have 2 GFH to lead, at times the other one, say the sniper will take a shot as well. At times also, Nick will observe what I am looking at in my scope, or viewing and automtically radio me that he will take care of it. Happy hunting!
