I find it really hard to keep track of my enemy while sitting in the cockpit, frustratingly hard actually. But isn't that the way it should be?

Ps. I´m not trying to tell people how they should run there servers, its just a thing i noticed while watching other people dog fighting.

Personaly, I believe that "External view - Enemy" (showing external view of your plane and tracking the nearest enemy airplane) is an unfair advantage.

External free view by itself (showing external view of your plane only) is an advantage but, of limited practical use because it can not be used effectively during a dogfight (when you need to have your hands on the throttle and stick manouvering the plane, you have no extra hand to scan the horizon with the mouse trying to track the enemy plane manually).

Unfortunately in my opinion, there is no way to turn off "External view - Enemy" while allowing "External view".
