Chopper 3rd person?

[Pace]

Anyone use the 3rd Person view when flying a chopper?

Personally I cant fly nearly half as good without being able to see the instruments in the cockpit...(horiz, vert etc)

Yeah, I'm a chopper lover too, but even flying Blackhawks in 3rd person is... well... a good way to suck dirt.

Im not alone then

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

I tried practicing for awhile in 3rd person. Figured it would give a slight advantage due to the better field of vision. It never really worked out.

It's true... I really would rather live than see.

When blackhawking and flying attack choppers I always change to 3rd person when taking a flag...When flying the blackhawk I am always in 3rd person mode...You will find that you see everything on the battlefield and will die less. Get used to it it will pay off...

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

i can fly in both 1st and 3rd person views but 3rd person is useless when attacking as you cant see where you are aiming. i often fly in 3rd person when theres not much happening just to admire the view...

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

For some reason I can fly in all views with ease, perhaps the looking behind one better than 3rd/1st.

It's a rare skill that my friends find amazing, though it has no real benefits unless capping/bullet dodging. Most of my time is spent blowing stuff up, thus cockpit view is my candy.

Your best bet is to have a key mapped to rear view so you can switch back and forth quickly to see who is on your 6.

Otherwise, I cannot, for the life of me, fly a chopper or jet in 3rd person view.

He seems to want the cockpit to be visible.

Yea im flying blackhawk in cockpit view but i switch to 3P before the landing.
Attack chopper only in nose view, the gunners helmet is way too big to see targets on the ground and spot them.

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

blackhawk i fly 3P cause it looks cool (lol but im good at flying that way) but the attack chopper i fly in first without cockpit.

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

I never use 3p. Puts my pitch off balance. It is masterable but it would be hard to shoot if in a Attack Heli.

Re: Chopper 3rd person?

If they changed it to be a FIXED 3rd person camera rather than floating as it is now, I think most people would be quite able and willing to use it.
