While you can't do anything about the view restrictions of a specific plane, there is something you can do to minimize the problem.
What I do is this. I adjust my "default" view as far forward as I can and leave it so I can just see enough of the dashboard to give me the minimal information I need when I'm engaged in a fight. You should adjust this one to give you the best visibility around whatever view obstructions you need to deal with in your particualr plane. I then map another button to "Forward" view, and I adjust that one back away from the dash, and usually down a bit so I can see all of my instruments. Then simply adjust each of your other views to work around any obstructions as best you can.
Once you have that set up, it's simply a matter of doing two things. First, you need to predict where the bogey is going in case you lose sight... plan to go where he is going so you don't NEED to watch him constantly. Second, fly in a manner that will maintain a view of your opponent. Sometimes this means using a high yoyo when a barrel roll attack might have been another option, sinc you can maintain sight better in the high yoyo.

A pig is a pal, who'll boost your morale, Though mountains may topple and tilt.
When they've blackballed, bamboozled, and burned you, When they've turned on you, Tory and Whig,
Though you may be thrown over by Tabby and Rover, You'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
You'll never go wrong with a pig!" -- Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow"
