Cockpit View - [Now Forced per Higby]

Get a buddy to record your dogfighting escapades. Otherwise I am very content on how flight has been done by the dev team.

I think it's a good idea, definitely.

The main point I wanted to make was that with more camera angles you get increased situational awareness, in 2142 you could generally tell the good pilots from the bad based on whether or not they could use their camera angles to acquire and track multiple targets. In BF3 having only one camera angle is one of the many things I hate about that game.

Then maybe I should change my argument to, ALL vehicles should have more than one camera angle. :P

Might as well give infantry a rear view, chase cam, bird's eye, and over the shoulder. It won't be overpowered, after all.

Many of the people on this forum got farmed by vehicles for years in Planetside 1 because they ran around completely bewildered carrying nothing but a suppressor, and now they are here again voicing their discontent with particularly aircraft. Engaging in discussion is futile, because they will never change their opinions. Everything you're about to point out, I have already done earlier in this thread, and they are still regurgitating the same nonsense about realism and balance. You have been warned.

OBSTRUCT THEIR VIEW, THAT WILL SAVE US FROM BEEN FARMED!

No kids, it wont, it wont at all.

Could it be SkinlessJACK?

You could try and learn to adapt? Really if this is a game breaker for you maybe you should try something in infantry.
