COW 0 Posted October 4, 2002 The m113 has you looking at the ground directly in front of you and you can't see ahead of you . On the M113 ambulince you can see which is good. If this could be fixed it would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted October 4, 2002 You can also switch to the iron sights / weapons view, that will give you much better visibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyles 11 Posted October 4, 2002 he is right, though, some viewpoints are kinda messed. has been brought up several times. maybe it will change, most likely however, not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam0flage 0 Posted October 4, 2002 It's a bit controversial, with outside point of view you can see more than you actually could, but when using the "realistic" view you can't see a thing. I've watched thru the prisms of a T-72M1 and BMP-1, it is actually hard to see outside. The tank crew told that it is very difficult to spot for example infantry soldiers if they go prone and stay still. I guess implementing a realistic view to the vehicles would ruin the gameplay.

TheBrain 0 Posted October 4, 2002 If you ever sat in a real tank, you would not find that the sight out of an OFP tank is not enough. If you use the iron sights / weapons view, the sight is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.o.R.S.u 0 Posted October 4, 2002 All tanks in OFP except Shilka, Vulcan and M113 have windows big enough in front that you can drive easily with them, if you are using 1st person mode. But in the three tanks I mentioned you can't see a thing because driver proxys are a bit out of place. Shilka has the worst view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikingo 0 Posted October 4, 2002 100% agree! Hope someday the M113 driver position will be fixed and place it at right "horizon line" for can use the periscopes well. Check the vulcan ones, they are at right line! And of course also a fix for the Shilka. Just check the ADATS mod -that use the Shilka driver cockpit-, they are in good position... Â This always was one of my top want things for fixing in the game and sure can be easy fix it just moving the proxy of the driver... (heh! saying "easy" and I can't make just a box with O2 but I'm sure moving the proxy is easy hehe) Hope in some patch... More personal thoughts in question (9) here Glad to see others want just the same. I thought I was the only crazy and bothering one with those little details hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracer 0 Posted October 5, 2002 As Mister Frag says; Just press the V key and then zoom it in a small amount, you can see were your driving quite easily. No big deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kermit 0 Posted October 7, 2002 The problem with using the optics is that I do not want to zoom. I just want to see the area that using the optics lets me see. I have never been inside of a tank, so I do not know whether it is correct or not. I want it to be realistic, whether it makes it harder or easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
