i have seen that some people really like a different "6" view than others, for example in the corsaire...
some shift it to a side. i use the right / left mapped to JS to move.
same with the left / right view of the 109's for example. i think i have the best view, JB42 has views i wouldn't consider using.
if they had a "default" special view set up in game, people might not learn there is possibly a better view they can find.
i think personally more should be said about the view system in AH in the intro pages, maybe on of the very first help files. i also think this (after communication) is on of the most important aspects of gameplay, and any trainers should concentrate on teaching.
just my humble opinion
