Mouse view issue/smooth panning

[AnarchyZG]

I have a question for devs (or anyone):

In Il-2 you could use the mouse for looking around in the cockpit. Using joystick software you could set your hat switch to emulate the mouse and thus have smooth pan view using above mentioned hat switch.

In CoD it seems that when you use mouse view, you are severely limited in the angle to about 90 degrees (regardless of FOV or shoulder straps). Furthermore it seems to be linked to the last pan view angle.

The result is that it seems impossible to have smooth panning view which makes it difficult to track enemy aircraft (and not to mention the headache from rough pan view). Am I missing something?

The picture below illustrates the issue (green = pan view range, red = mouse look range)
