GVs have a commander viewpoint for the same reason bombers have F3. Tanks versus IL2s is a pretty ridiculous argument actually, because you imply that the aircraft is limited in its attack angle, which is simply not true. You can get above the machine gun arc, and you should. If you want impunity then you are playing the wrong game and using the wrong aircraft. Maybe Lancs at 5k would better suit you?
So where in my post do I imply an aircraft is limited in its attack?
A tank can shoot down an airplane in a shallow dive. Impunity is not what I am after I actually prefer gving these days. If you want I could use hand puppets.
My point, my only point, is that risk should be shared. A player space should be modeled into the tc position. This would not only force guys into the gunsights where tanks were actually aimed. It would force them to shoot visible lines of sight (the exact root of my wish). I disagree with tanks behind berms spawn camping from positions where the bulk of the tank and its realistic line of sight is concealed, because a game interaction feature allows them to do so. Now again I am trying to figure out where and why you decided to make this thread personal bu suggesting I would be better off lanc Stukaing tanks and calling things bs.
Tdeacon brings up angles I had not considered such as the effect on gameplay that change might have. One that I weighed, and thought about. Very few dedicated gvrs kill the ords at nearby bases just to tank, generally they hope a countryman keeps them down. I also felt that in a similar fashion, when you are being strafed, and all you would have to do was get into the turret position, that would not be so bad. But, in tank on tank fights having to shift between the two (like we did in the old days) would mess the play up. Wish withdrawn. Thanks for the thoughts deacon. (S)
