Sim Players, do you want a Cockpit View only option?

[InfiniteStates]

I hate cockpit view, especially when it gets dirty, and I love my virtual cockpit. But I voted yes because it would definitely be cool to be forced to use it if I know everyone else has to too. And the sense of accomplishment would that much greater. Also, the feeling of shooting feels much more, er, "solid" in cockpit view, if you get my meaning. It feels like there's a lot more weight behind your tracers. I can't really explain it better than that.

I'm not against the idea, but it would split the community even further and be that much harder to find a random game.

[InfiniteStates]

Oh yeah, didn't think of that...

How about if it was compulsory for simulator mode? Then it might flesh out realistic a bit more with guys that aren't quit ready for the full leap - because as it stands, sim and realistic aren't hugely different.

I do find it easier to fly in Cockpit view (Sim) when I'm panning the view to keep tabs on my opponent and maneuvre at the same time, I don't lose track of where my plane is relative to the ground (which I do in virtual) quite so easily. Once I'm on a tail then I switch back to virtual but if it were compulsary for everyone then I wouldn't mind. Flying your plane when the cockpit is covered with oil would be a bail out for most and hitting the engine of your oppenent (if too close) often creates oil smearing on the canopy (which clears after a few seconds). Sim flying would be a lot tougher. Also, have you noticed the change in contrast when switching between views? I voted yes as I'm a glutton for punishment.....

i too have the feeling my guns do more damage in cockpit view, if this is what u meant

That's a host option that should be across the board, not just in simulation.

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 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!

[MACADEMIC]

Thanks Varcus.

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