It's funny I've been flying full real for years. When a subject like this comes up I think who will care but Spit VS 109s isn't the only server in Hyperlobby is it.

Rather than a see through cockpit, if you want continuous target tracking, then a simpler option would be to allow the target icons to continue tracking inside the cockpit. This way you would know where the targets are. Perhaps have a target dot with the icon as well so you can line up your deflection shot.

I don't know why people fly Wonder Woman view but I'm guessing if they had the above they might stick to cockpit on settings?

This is pretty much what ROF does (great boon when you're frustrated by having to peer through a letterbox). In fact ROF allows for assignable camera positions and views in-cockpit (important when the sodding compass is on the floor behind where your left buttock should be). ROF has done this all very well (in my humble). All rather spiffing.

Indeed, there a little hints of IL2 "homage" in ROF (eg. F2 for external views, F1 for internal, etc.) Perhaps Oleg, as far as cockpit views are concerned (even, for example, ROF's continuous zoom) might repay the complement!...
