mirrors on humvees/vodniks Realistic, right?

Suggested before and is hardcoded in BF2 engine.

In which case where would the harm be in restoring the vBF2 rear view? IRL you may not have a camera floating in front of your vehicle, but you can see behind you with mirrors.

Maybe make the new camera on the left of the vodnik to simulate the driver looking down the mirror/ poking his head out the window when you press C?
Done in jets, why not cars?

LOL?

a camera showing the rear view when pressing c is good. like the big duce n a half have now. im for

I think pwn3ge106's (sorry but that's an awful name, hope it's not meant seriously) idea's best, a simple view of a rear view mirror showing a rear view mirror with a blurred surrounding or something like that would be good.

Probably wouldn't be a very high priority, although I'm sure one of the very talented *insert appropriate modding discipline*ers could sort it out pretty quickly.

Don't know if you can do it in the BF2 engine but there's a mod for ARMA where you hit a button and the driver camera switches to a camera looking back from the drivers window.

Why not just the same thing with jets? I dont know how many times I have ran over people standing behind my car.

exactimundo

surely this is the same as the gunner in teh attack helo, or the co pilots in the LBs, press F -> different view

This would be useful. Some cars in PR don't allow the driver to look backwards from his seat, even if he'd otherwise have a clear view back (such as the Land Rover, iirc). It'd be nice to either expand the limits of mouselook to allow the driver to look behind, or include a "backing-up" view, from near the driver seat, looking backwards, to simulate the driver looking backwards while backing up (something you do in real life in real cars).

I totaly agree. Having a rear view camera position where the mirror is, or just out of the back window if there is one, would make it much easier to use vehicles, especialy in cities.
