I say no there should be no forced option. See the way I see it is if sim players want to play in the pit view thats fine and dandy and good on you. But forcing it is another limitaion that the community really doesnt need. You see some players simply wont play if they are FORCED to use a pit view, which means less players for that particular room and therefor less chance of a full room.

With the way the playebase is atm, everyone is spread out across different modes and this would only serve to further spread players out.

I'd love it, but all cockpits would need to be in the game.

played a few tb matches yesterday with about 6-7 guys where we all used the cockpit view... It was really fun tho incredibly hard, for me atleast. I think I only managed 3 or 4 kills in about 5 games - not counting the number of friendly kills Hardest thing is to keep an eye on the enemy, even when he's right on my 12... couples of turns and he ends up in one of the deadspot created by the cockpit massive framework, i lose sight for a fraction of a sec, and I'm a dead guy. I just think the POV in the cockpit is def not good (esp in the spits), I mean in real life i would just have to tilt my head a little to see whats behind that huge frame...

Guess i'll need some more practice

thats the point. its much more easier to spot and identification the enemy plane in virtual cockpits. it would be unfair , when u have the choice in game.

I say Yes! Fight in cokpit view are more realist.. It's more easier to save your life when you are under attack and the time of a dogfight is better! (Sorry for my bad english lol)
And i m dreaming cokpit view for axes planes too!

Thanks Varcus.

The more planes with cockpits the better (IMO they all should have cockpits...).

I find the Cockpit view to be useful when there's a lot of enemies on the screen and when you want to know things that the instruments are telling you... once it's dirty it's virtually useless unless you have a high degree of situational awareness.

However, if a game were forced into this mode it would make it fair for everyone...

I'd also like to be able to super impose the HUD over the 3rd person view in some situations... also changing the color of the everything should also be an option... it's very hard to see the recticle on my shatty TV... lol
