Was just playing Arma 3 and was in the panther and noticed that when your in third person you can't view and look behind you and is a pain. Would be nice to be able to have a 360 viewing in all vehicles, air, etc. Along with hitting the minus key on the keypad and zoom away from the vehicle a little more. Its all too close and useless.

I agree 3rd person is arcadish and I'm usually against 3rd person......I play usually only in 1st person. But 3rd person does come in handy when driving at times and landing in a heli. Other than that I am always in 1st person, but 3rd does have its benefits!

Of course 3rd person has benefits, it has benefits everywhere, but it's unrealistic and I think it shouldn't even be present on default difficulty.

I agree that it can be easier but with 3rd person view in MP some people abuse of this, it's too easy to see someone while prone in the grass or behind a wall, that's my point of view. After yes it can be helpfull with helis and vehicules, the fact is when it's turn on no balance with players in 1st person. Sorry but I can't vote for that, I'm against this 3rd person view, everybody at the same level, servers should turn it off, after in SP it's another problem.
