You must be out of shape, then. Right now, sitting at my chair, I can turn my head enough to see something exactly behind me, without moving any part of my body below my neck. My shoulders are perfectly fixed. Granted, I cannot see the object clearly, but I can see it out of the corner of my eye.
Add shoulder movement (real fighter pilots do loosen their straps so that they can look all the way behind them), and you get a perfect picture of what's behind you, at the cost of comfort. And don't forget about the mirror.
I know gliders are nothing like warbirds, but ours have similar restraints. Out of curiosity I decided to see if I could replicate in-game views in real life. I couldnt. I could look back that well at all, though, again, I wasnt using shoulder movement. Ill take a camera next time. But I dont think views were nearly as good in real life as they are here. Just an un-biased oppinion. I dont fly the Corsairs so I cannot say anything.
