Tanks and IFV commanders view

[Sierra1]

Why can't we have a free swiveling head (with mouse or TrackIr) from the commanders position in tanks and IFV's? I mean a view that does not drag any weapons with it. That would be much faster like the drivers view (LCntl+C)

With binoculars it's free mouse movement.

Yes, but it is still difficult to get a quick overview of the surroundings.

There's also isometric view (I think that's what it's called in the binds?) — free look, and while weapons will follow the view as best they can, the looking around is not tied to or limited by them.

If you go to driver view first then isometric the weapon won't swivel either.

I still want a free swiveling head from the tank commanders view.

I think there used to be a way to use trackir to look around in the commander view, or one of the views, I think it got taken out. .

Only closest way would be using MG mounted in cupola, some tanks have them like merkava.
