I am stuck between both, I understand the reasoning behind forced on a competitive standpoint. But from my personal experience's and they way they are going to have amazing cosmetics not only for your character, but your vehicles and weapons I feel that 3rd person is a great feature. I like the fact in 3rd person I would be able to look at the sick ass Zebra camo and heart windshield on my Loverator. Also I played Skyrim in 3rd person mode 24/7 and am a huge fan of the Gears franchise so I am very partial to 3rd person <3. But if your are in the cockpit view definitely forced, your not flying a aircraft if you can't see anything.
