At least on 360 you can push down on the D-pad and use the right stick to look around. It's a minor improvement on BoP's awkward free look, though it still limits your maneuvering ability.

I prefer flying in regular mode largely so helicopters and tanks can be spotted and I can contribute to their destruction. They're much more difficult to pick up visually on hardcore while lining up a strafing run.

I find myself relying on the air radar quite a bit in normal (I don't use the external view much, if at all for any of the vehicles) and it's a must in hardcore.

You obviously didn't read my earlier post pointing out the flaws of the freelook design lol. Oh and it's a SU-33

Doesn't the Su-33 have forward canards? The Flanker in BF3 doesn't have canards.

Yes, sorry you are correct its an Su35BM. I figured that because you take off from a carrier it would be the naval version (Su-33). But then since when did the A-10 take off from carriers?

Reading about the Su35BM and how advanced and capable it is with the thrust vectoring engine nozzels, its funny how the crappy super hornet has the same performance in game when in real life it would be absolutly crushed in a dogfight.

You don't haha.

Only the US team has a carrier. The Ruski's have -

Kharg Island - Roadside (SU33/Frogfoot)
Caspian Border - Airfield (SU33/Frogfoot)
Operation Firestorm - Airfield (SU33/Frogfoot)

Your right about the A-10 on the carrier though. Not right!! But then again i've seen a hercules land on a carrier.... so its possible perhaps haha.

I do think your looking into a little to much though mate. Its just a game

I was just happy I didn't have to ride in a F-35, though apparently that's going to be included in the first add-on.

Reading about the F-35B a few days ago after the US marines bought all our retired Harrier GR.9/9A. The Marines now expect to be using Harriers well into the 2020s! I'd much rather fly a harrier in the add-on but oh well unrealistic again lol
