I don't see why it would be. I took a look at the rules and didn't see anything about it.

I thought there was a rule against ride alongs, as that player could be giving instructions to the pilot. I guess it was removed during one of th erules updates. OK nevermind.  :salute

I can't see any help from someone riding along.. or F3 mode...  non-issues...

You don't think some in the tourney couldn't benefit from having a coach the back seat giving them tips on S.A. and tactics during the fight?

By the time the back seater takes the time to verbalize what the pilot should be doing it would be too late to execute the move. Dogfights aren't fights where you can think of you options, discuss these options with your coach, and then execute the agreed upon maneuver. You have to read the situation and react to it in a nano-second. One second to late and the move is useless. I doubt the back seater could verbalize what you should do quicker than half a second to give your brain time to hear what they said, proccess it, and then act upon it.

I can't see it helping much at all. I would find it annoying and useless.

It would make it harder for me, even if they don't talk the extra pressure of having an audience would probably not help

Precisely.  But it does beg the question:  if all these negatives are correct and the adverse is true (can be of no help) why would you want one?

You're all crazy.  You are applying the thinking to yourselves, and not applying it to a rookie fighting another rookie in the tourney. :salute
