Allow WSOs and CPGs to look back

In dogfights, I've been concerned with the performance and ability of the Tornado GR4 and SU-30MKK ingame, specifically the lack of the co-pilot not being able to look back while the pilot himself can. Minor suggestion, although I think it would increase teamwork in the two jets a little, reducing stress and allowing two minds to think instead of just one.

Maybe we should change all pilot models to Tom Cruise?

i love top gun!
yeah i dont see why the co pilot cant look back, his view will be slightly obstructed by the metal wall behind him a little though. How about allow him to look back but in his camera view unlike the pilot's, the bottom quarter or third of his view is blocked by his seat? thus while the plane is flying perfectly level and horizontal, the pilot can see pretty much everything upwards of 5-10 degrees, while the co pilot can only see anything upwards of 30 degrees

I din't see the point of top gun, there are glases, and the co pilot have eyes, so why not whact the back of pilot when his *** is concetred in avoiding missiles?

Forgive him, he has improved his English a lot recently.
HAAN4 what I got from what you are saying is that you didn't realize we are talking about co-pilots, right?
While the pilot tries to avoid the missile, the co-pilot looks behind to see that the pilot is failing at it...

+ 9000
Overall it's not a bad idea. It might not be used much, but the few who would use it would appretiate it alot. It's also nice to know when you're about to die too
