Obsveration Points - Free mouse looking

i was in a discussion with another member about the visibility problem on the PZ3 Observation points.
so i started by saying;

@Axis_Ghost if you want to have a better view as a gunner. you can’t just increase the gunner view, that would be innaccurate. and the driver / commander should be used for have a better clue on what’s going on around the tank, and where you have to drive to avoid further obstacles. that’s not the gunner’s job after all.

but than, he replied with:

true but another point is that enlisted it is a very fast game with a lot moviment and the problem is the commander vision, it take to many time switching obsevation devices resulting in becoming useless, in my opinion it should just turn around in place without the zoom in-out,this is why in my opinion using the gunner work better

and he is right. he does have a point actually. the main problem of observation points, it’s that those are very slow to use.

and a really good way to fix them, it could be like the binocle system in war thunder. or more likely, the pilots cockpit view. more precisely, a free look around camera in the commander sit. so the player, whenever jumps in the commander sit, he can look around more faster, and if needed, can zoom By Deafult. doing so, the player will be more faster, and responsive as it should. just like in real life.

for an example, here is a clip: https://youtu.be/m4NyrCws61c?t=39 ( you can just watch 5 seconds. )

but if this is too complicated, than i think that the camera like war thunder simulative matches should do.

you can look around freely, by holding in the free look button, mine is set to C, yours may be set to something else, holding it allows you o look around without having to wait for the turret to move.

IMO they should copy how the commander looks through their observation ports in Post Scriptum when they are buttoned up, just keep free look on constantly until you pop your head out to aim the gun. As of now zooming in and out constantly is akward to use and makes the German cupolas useless. I think if the germans had a usable commanders cupola it would give them extra visibility, giving them at least some advantage over the BA-11.

BA-11 will be nerfed anyway.

but as i suggest, it’s fairly simple ( look the video ) :stuck_out_tongue:
thanks for stopping by ^^

no, you can’t. not in the commander sit. through obeservation points

Maybe, “VR-mode” will help you…

yeah, something similar.

after all it’s present when you press C in the stuka or bf109. why shouldn’t be also used this system with tank’s observation points?
