For training purposes, not online combat, it would be educational to see instantly where the bullets hit the target or how close you are of hitting it. There is also a limit to the situational awareness one can achieve by looking at a 24" (if even) screen. Not everyone has the Track IR or multiple screens setup. Small arrows that gives you clues of where the enemy is is therefore not cheating. They just compensate for the simple fact that you are not in the real airplane where you can twist your head in any direction you want and that your periferal vision (close to 180 degrees in real life) is very limited when looking at a screen, or even three screens. SOW BOB should be made so as many as possible will enjoy it. If it's a game or a sim should be up to the player / pilot. We have also only seen pictures of SOW BOB. Sound and most importantly how realistic the airplanes fly is yet to be known. If the AI pilots have their googles on or not is of miniscule importance to me.
