i saw a documentary, maybe it was gunter rall, not sure. who commented how ineffective mirrors were and with how they shook so that by the time you'd see something in them it was time to bail out.

There's only ONE way you can improve the rear view of a corsair with mirrors.

Frankly, looking behind you with the numberpad or joystick buttons is gonna be better than any mirrors. Helps your SA too.

Yeah, My SA's pretty good, but in a plane with poor rear sight, i.e. the corsair... manually changing positions with keypad and number keys (gotta look to both right and left side...) would take longer, with less sight than just taking a peek to the mirrors...

I see how it could be a programming, FR, and gameplay disaster, but I'd love to see it implimented without these issues :]

I mean, in buffs we've already got a rear view...
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
