So i thought, let's try virtual cockpit. Well, first time land was spot on.
Then i noticed as well how BEAUTIFUL the game was. In virual cockpit you really see a lot of action going on in the skies. Stuka's dive bombing the harbour etc. Beautiful. All of that is a lot less in real cockpit view (partly because look-around is a pain, even with the stick it still is not that easy).
So ... that's what is bothering me a bit. Take virtual cockpit and things become more easy AND more beautiful .... but also, yes, more GENERIC and less immersion
I think for SP i'll go for virtual cockpit but i wouldn't mind a HOST OPTION in MP which restrict to 'cockpit view only'
my .02 cents

I've been having the same feelings. Usually, durning the course of play, I have SO much trouble finding the other aircraft I'm supposed to be killing (this is in sim mode of course). So I use the virtual cockpit to locate them, but I actually find the real cockpit to be more steady and to really let me 'feel' the plane as I'm attacking, so I've been getting more kills in that cam.
