Why can't you use the f3 and f4 views when driving a vehicle or a boat?

hmmm.. this thread seems to have blanked the board.

It used to be possible in earlier versions and can be done offline, but online, they have disabled external views.
Buhdman, out

I'm having a hard time understanding that too. The excuse goes that if you're in a bomber with 10 men you can virtually see anywhere and if you're in a GV you can't see out. That may be relatively true. BUT, if your manning the external gun of a GV you should also have a 360 degree view. Same is true for the PT boat where in fact ALL positions are external. The logic is just plain inconsistent.

I don't see the problem with the GV views. Sorry. :) When manning a gun on the vehicles I still have the same views I would have in a fighter. Left/right/back...up 45 degrees etc. If you mean the "observer" view from 400 yards away and above, then no...it is no longer in the game. :)
(edit: stupid spelling mistakes. lol)

It was done for gameplay reasons. At least there is not any such excuse as you state from HTC ever (or at least I never heard/read such statments from them). Now gv's are harder and actually more fun to ride. It also possible to sneak at the base which has a panzers defence.
BTW at beta AH had in MA an external views for planes too! Hard to believe, but it was that way. Anyone want it back? :) (I am sure some does, but not majority).
