Cockpit View - [Now Forced per Higby]

[Malorn]

You claimed the poll was useless, you didn't offer a better phrasing. As best I can tell you didn't like the result of the poll so are now criticizing its legitimacy.

Sometimes you need to read between the lines Malorn, CLEARLY this pole is going to have once sided results because one answer is unbalanced because it offers no terms or negatives to it. The pole obviously needed 3 options(As i said now 11 posts up) or the no needed to be clarified with a clause or negative to it like: at the loss of free look.

Don't know if trolling or just stupid.

I am indeed a terrible poster.

Everyone, keep in mind that SKYeXile is an air cav (Mossie) infantry farmer. Ive never seen him do anything else. So his hostility makes sense in that context...

I mean if someone came along and told you you had to develop some skill and work within the same rules as everyone else, you would be peeved too.

I'm all for balance, that way the butt hurt children wont complain when im still top of the leader board(or maybe you will?). but it does not have to be done through the use of a cluttered UI or even restricting aiming to first person view, they could have much more interesting aircraft if they allowed aiming in 3rd person view anyway.

There were so many people who not only voted for forced cockpits, but posted a few words about it too, clearly indicating an understanding of the issue, that the results are clear even if you did somehow find some bias.

Loss of free look does NOT make turning the cockpit off appropriate. Free look should in fact be present regardless of cockpit on or off. The issue here is whether the cockpit view should be forced, not whether or not free look should exist.

If you read the thread, most people who voted for forced and posted in this thread voted yes because they said it would be unbalanced to play without the cockpit view, effectively rendering it useless.

..and then? The poll is a simple question. The balance issues have been brought up by those who voted. All part of the reason they voted as such to answer the poll question. Which is simple, and unbias.

no, they voted yes because they believed the alternative(as you stated) would be standard HUD elements, that are a clear advantage over cockpit view.
