No argument there, Binky. It's a trade off. We, as humans, have almost 180 degrees field of view, not 30 degrees. So even the 90 POV is not "realistic", but if the devs backed it out even more we'd end up with a "fisheye" distorted image (23", 42", 60" -- all are too small to give a true representation of a human's actual field of view without distortion).

The 30 POV isn't looking through a telescope -- it's like having blinkers on -- or very restrictive goggles. The gun sights in the fighters WERE in your face, just as the 30 POV depicts it.

Obviously, you go with what seems right to you. To me, it's unrealistic to have your head placed somewhere between your radio mast and your tailplane when looking through a distant gun sight.
