Rear view camera for (at least supply) trucks

[Teuvo]

It's pretty common in military truck nowadays and really helps your rear movements with truck and with supply crate placing. It could be attached to some view angle button?

It should be black and white as they many time use infrated cameras. This feature will decrease amount of being road killed by trucks too. It's probably easy to implement?

Maybe you can use the same "effect screen" as used abrams in rangefinder screen.

Well at least in U.S supply truck the "rear view" right now is nothing like realistic or even useful.



Normal personnel transport trucks doesn't need rear view camera since you can look back from window behind of your cockpit, which is already implemented nicely.

Unfortunatley, the military doesn't install rearview camera systems in their trucks that have the potential of combustion

but yah like the idea for the PSC forces and their SUV

I believe the rear view is fixed in the next build... but if you want a screen and all that jazz, need some actual military references and to know if its standard on majority of the trucks. I have a feeling its not, these trucks are not built with such luxury items, but feel free to do the investigations.

The trucks in game also should probably be replaced with more modern versions, except for russians/chechens who probably would still use the old stuff

[Teuvo]

Well actually I'm suggesting this thing since I saw them used in my own military service and I was not part of any cutting edge new technology unit. So I made my wrong conclusion it's common accessory. ops:

But to be honest I don't have any other military reference to convince you. I just thought it could be nice addition.

You shouldn't need a camera fuzzhead because I real life you can just stick your head out of the window and look back. In the next PR can we just have a simple camera on the outside of the driver's side window facing back? That would be realistic, helpful and quite easy.

I would like to see the rear-view 'camera' fixed to the side mirrors too, perhaps with a small range of movement to represent your being able to move your head about in the cab.

For a fix for the current version:
Some trucks you hit C twice, others you hit C once and can use the mouse to turn all the way around and see out the rear.

Locking this as it is ingame already.
