Pls disable "internal cockpit view options mods" for AH2. I can't believe that people who are playing/flying with F4U, F6F, and 109s can still see me when i attack them at their blind spot (mostly by hiding below then zoom up for the kill). Internal view system must be and should be like Warbirds 3 or UBI's IL-2.

"Well you could turn your head hundred-eighty degrees around.  We didn’t have any mirrors in like the Spitfire…what you did was when you strapped yourself in, you had your shoulder straps loose…and uh…and not so tight…so you could move…you could put it in autopilot too… you know… "

It seems to me that you still have blind spots in planes, you are just able to move them around, but the bars are still there. A pilot in a plane is able to move his upper body, so to increase his vision. Vision in this game is already limited enough as it is, little peripheral vision.

The ability to move the head around and set optimal views is one of the things I really like about AH over other sims. IMO this should NOT be changed. The view restrictions in IL-2 and WB3 is less realistic than AH, according to myself ;)

And what GScholz quoted to back up my humble opinion
