Personally, I've always hated being stuck with one view through that tiny wind screen and expected to know just what the heck is going on. External view helps, but you can't shoot with it nor can you see behind yourself no matter you do. Relinquishing controls to look around is a no-go, just doesn't help when you take 3 seconds to find the other guy and 5 seconds to turn to that position where he was 4 seconds ago...
'Tis why one of the first thing I'm looking forward to unlocking is the stinger/igla. That's if they can fix the stuttering first.
