And... ?

3pv gives you a bit of extra view around your vehicle so you can do such crazy things as not hit friendly cloakers running in front of you, or not stop dead because you grazed an invincible sapling.
I don't stop for any infantry. It's their fault my tank killed them every time. As for the sapling, you can see that just fine in FPV... unless you are trying to drive backwards?

Plus, with the technology of the day in ps, there is absolutely no reason you couldn't have a 360 camera installed somewhere.
With the technology of the day in PS, there is absolutely no reason you need infantry, tanks, guns, missiles, soldiers, or airplanes. But that wouldn't make a very fun war game would it.

So, from the new game footage it looks like 3rdPV is confirmed for Air Cav anyway. This of course begs the question, "Do ground vehicles get a 3rdPV mode too?"

I didn't see any HUD markers when it was in 3rd person.

....and? Just an observation? I'm not trying being a smartass or anything. I'm just wondering about your thoughts on it.. As a side note I see the 1stPV infantry shots didn't have a HUD either.

I'm pretty sure that if included the 3rdPV view for vehicles would require different HUD elements (like no crosshair) so maybe it's not complete yet. Or maybe they just had it turned off..

It was stated earlier that vehicles would get 3rd person view, but would not be able to target from that view.

The videos really don't count as they can be edited any way they want to make them look cooler....

Source? I know that Higby said in the reddit thread that if ground vehicles got 3rdPV it would be without a reticle. I've seen no confirmation that they actually will get 3rdPV tho. If he/they have confirmed it in some other place tho that'd be fantastic!

Both Higby and TRay have said on numerous occasions that unless they explicitly say otherwise, all game screens/videos they show us will be 100% natural, no artificial colors or flavors straight up Forgelight. So yes, videos can and do count.
