I agree with JAB
Views are major part of plane performance.
Speed, Turn rate etc dictate how one flies the different aircraft, but field of view also has a great impact on flying style.
I haven't got the reference at hand, but I recall one geran pilot saying: "between wars we forgot to build planes with a good 6 o'clock view".
The P-51 and Fw190 should have a bonus because of their good field of view, whilst spit drivers (like me
should have a handicap in that department...
But this subject is lost on many ex quakers/now flightsimmers - I learnt that lesson whilst trying out EAW... It has the "worst" 6 o'clock gamey view I've ever come across... but it didn't bother any of the so called virtual "pilots" there
