I know Sam, I thought to the head movement too at first... it's more intuitive. Then I've realized that not all the players can afford a TiR device... it could be nice to implement them both and leave the choice to the player.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
