I think that the View from the pilot should be backed up a little bit, maybe show more of the panel in the heli, it would really look cool. just back it up like 6 inches or so..anyone agree?

looking really cool does not help the game. On some cockpits in pilot side you can barely see as it is. Plus the cockpits have no actual instruments that are moving. The HUD is the only thing of use.

Would be pointless.

Agreed...

As it is the limited view on some choppers can make it just that little bit more difficult to fly, especially for landings. So while it would be cool to see a little more of the instrument panel, it really wouldn't help gameplay at all, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with ralfidude.

gotta agree

wouldnt just zooming back help? i mean if u move it back 6 inches ull be inside the chair =P

Well, i agree with ralfidude, but i would also like a view that allow you to see through the chin bubble, this would really help in landings, but then, there will be the front view problem. So its better if it remains the way it is now.

Well rampo, tell you what. Go on the training server, and get in the apache cockpit. Now try to look to the left and right. You cant right? because the damn thing is not viewer friendly. The only way to do so would be to hold on the alt button and use mouse to look around. Now imagine moving it back 6 inches. You wouldnt be able to see a chopper coming at you or anything. Your view would be about 5 degrees in total.

In other choppers i think it might be worse in the sense that pushing the view back would make it harder on the pilot to see the surroundings, especially when your trying to hold that damn thing in a perfect hover, you need to see ur surroundings and use the minimap.

And additionally, i also believe that pushing the view back would decrease the zoom on the pilot, so you would see in less detail whats going on in front of you. This would be especially bad when FFARing a target.

Alright, thanks for the comments guys, you got some points, also though about the apache not being able to see REALLY well in front of you, u have a gunner he takes out front targets, i think if it was back u could be watching the sides as well. IDK thanks for the comments guys, there was NO positive feedback lol.
