[Suggestion] Forward Camera for Vehicles

    What if every MBT and Lightning Turret had an Optics Option that allowed you look forward while you still had you Skyguard pointed at the Liberator Chasing you.

    Basically it would either completely change the screen to face directly forward or it would pop up a small window showing me the front of the tank.

    Still having trouble understanding?
    Imagine a liberator is chasing you with your "skyguard lightning" you know they're not going to go away unless you make them want to go away. To make yourself a difficult target, you floor it a drive like there no tomorrow, and without being able to see where you are going you screwed yourself over by driving up a hill screwing up your aim or drove off into a chasm or a tree which then takes your attention away from shoot the liberator to find out what you've run into.

    Other than the Magrider.
    And this seems redundant.
    And a little bit... meh.
    Well done for voicing an idea, by the way. Most people just make [Suggestion] Nerf ______ threads....

    lib is fine except for the tank buster (i hate that thing), and it's not just for the sky guard i also want it for the regular turrets so i can strafe a target and quickly check in front of me to see if there are any unwelcome obstacles or unwanted LACK of obstacles.
    I know it's common sense to know where you're driving but "heat of the moment" i don't have time to think about where i am or going only where they are and where i need to shoot.

    ah yes other than the MAG, but i think it would be a nice and convenient feature that was there if ever you wanted or needed to use it like the darklight flashlight, it's also meh but it's there if ever needed or wanted (for them pesky stalkers).

    P.S. I don't do nerf/buff rants... except for the striker (it was the only one i was completely serious about), but it's fine now, so i don't care about that anymore.

    I think they could implement a keyboard shortcut that would show what's directly in front of your tank when you hold a certain key, just like how in racing games you have to hold a key to see something directly behind you.

    Yap. And make top/side/rear/bottom cameras as well. Just in case if any LA was nearby...
