Out of all the things wrong with this game, this is THE show stopper. I don't mind that they didn't impliment IL2's cockpit view, but couldn't they have come up with something useful.
In IL2 you could choose between 3 views with [DELETE][END][PAGEDWN?]. Those three views could then be bound to one button by cycling through them. Clumsy, but it worked. The [SHIFT F1] command that aligned the off canter gunsites worked well - though admittedly a little unrealistic. In CoD it's a total failure. It literally pi$$es me off at how awefully implimented the view system is in this game. Why take me out of the action for one second while trying to view an enemy that is now at my side/top, because I had an energy advantage? If I'm leaned into the gunsite the view takes one second to 'turn off' - meanwhile the enemy I'm trying to BnZ isn't in my line of sight anymore, and I can't change it because of piss poor employment of the lean to gunsite function. He could be anywhere by the time I get my eye back on him.
Now we have the god aweful conglomeration of mouse and keypad.... or you can assign specific joystick buttons for each of the three views, but you cant rotate each view with one button.
I don't get into pissing matches regarding the state of the game. 1C could fix everything in the game, and still I'd probably be forever disappointed.
edit: Funny. IL2 1946 with the 4:11 patch now uses 6DOF perfectly. PERFECTLY! RoF works quite well too. CoD? Oh well.
