Can you sneak on anyone anyway?
Same as sneaking behind your shooter through a corridor.

With the Ground to ground Icons gone following the terrain (hiding behind the crest of a hill) is a viabale feature.  Unless your opponents hits <f3> and <f8> and slews his views so he is 500Ft above his tank, and looking at that hill or gully.

As long as the TC view is crippled I think that we will have to live with the External views.  

But, if you make it so you can slew the turret from the TC position then you can remove the external views.

Facts are vision meant life or death in a tank.

What he said

The problem is the lack of crew.  From the TC position we need to traverse the turrest, steer the tank, and when necessary shift gears and accellerate/brake.  Seeing as this is a combat flight sim I dinnae really expect them to come up with a system that will do this (but I'd love it if they did).
Let me traverse the turret and steer the tank from the TC position and I won't need the external view (I'll send out a scout in an M16   )
