Why doesn't Gaijin integrate aircraft targeting sights into the third-person view, like with drone reconnaissance?

would be peak for MITL weapons to have it in the top right corner or to replace to map. just click on it to use the mode. (would also like to have my plane in a small card in the corner while in MITL so im not flying blind

Yes. Especially the fact that you can’t actually control the pods or weapons from the 3D cockpit is quite annoying especially in sim.

Another bummer: The symbols and graphics on TV/IIR seekers and targeting equipment is treated as HUD-overlay elements, so if you wan to have the most realistic experience and disable the HUD overlay, you can’t even use those seekers and targeting equipment anymore…

Really, how the various displays and also cockpit gauges and cockpit HUDs are treated in WT is not developped with the amount of attention it deserves. = /

I really like this idea, hadn’t thought of it before but it makes sense. It would be neat to also add a key bind at the same time that when held down changes the mouse from controlling the aircraft to instead control the targeting pod.

If you want to create a suggestion you can do so in the suggestion section here on the forum. That section is however pre-moderated and only posts that follow their rules and guidelines will get posted and it can take a couple of weeks for a post to get reviewed for publication. If it gets accepted and made public it then has a chance to get sent to the developers as a suggestion later on.
