Cockpit and Driver View comparison thread.

I'm disappointed by the lack of a third-person view.

So long as the third-person camera does not have a targeting reticule, it can be great tool for situational awareness without completely making the first-person view redundant.

If you ask me, hot-swapping between the two views to gain a tactical advantage during dogfights actually adds more depth to the role of pilot and will depend on skill.

But also, people are forgetting that it makes for some fantastic gameplay videos! I mean, when those BF3 beta videos first hit YouTube with the 3rd person jet view, whose jaw didn't drop? It looked incredible! If SOE want to boost their audience, enabling cinematic views for the sake of machinima filmmakers and YouTube commentators is a great way to do it.
