I started flying the F6 last camp as my main ride and really loved it. I don't care for the new model and yes it is based on the rear view more than anything. I have no problem if they want to do it modeled as realistic as possible, but then model the other planes the same way. It's not so much the rear view has changed, but the ability to alter the view by moving forward and up in the cockpit is not allowed now, It is a bit frustrating to lose the view in a plane you are enjoying flying, and then jump in another bird which historically probably had just as bad of a rear view but the game gives you the ability to "move" better in that cockpit to facilitate a better rear view. Just my opinion
