External view mode is now disabled in manned guns.

Could we please look around now? Or get the clipboard up?

I don't know which way I'm facing.

the red pointer inside the circle shows the direction the gun is pointing tho, so........


getting rid of F5-F8 mode was fine, but I do think we should be able to look around outside of the scope.

I had actually though about posting this but forgot. I'm totally cool with not having external view but I think we should be able to turn our head.

I actually liked being able to levitate 300 feet into the air as well...  However, if we can't have that back, please give the normal view-key all around views.

I simply wish there was another position to view from, currently we only have the ability to look through the gun sight with absolutely no ability to pick our head up and peer over the front panel.

I agree that it shouldn't have the ability to do all of the F3/F5/F8 views, but a #2 would be good just to be able to give us a nekkid eye complete field of view.
