4-12 wish list (Merged)

[The_WOZ]

Your ideas refer to external flyers, like "birds of prey".

That's not the spirit of the suggestions.

I fly on Skies of Valor (close cockpit, externals on), and I fly using a mouse (via ppjoy+ ppmouse) and keyboard due to many reasons, improved air to ground gunnery being one of the most important.

For these reasons, I rely on externals and padlocking to tracking enemy planes (mostly attackers since I fly low and slow over enemy ground units).
Not having the blackout effect when on externals is a double edged sword, on the plus side it allows for harder evasive maneuvering. On the minus side, there's more chance of going into a complete blackout without noticing.
I think such an option would make it more fair for those who fly full real in these kind of servers.

The second suggestion was made thinking on movie making, there used to be a mod from a polish acrobatic team (IIRC) that did this and more, and allowed for some very nice takes when used correctly.
