PiP Screens in Cargo spaces of IFVs
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Most cargo spaces in the IFVs/APCs have currently unused screens. I wonder if these could possibly be put to use as PiP screens to display camera views, such as turret feeds or rear ramp cameras. I am going to supply screenshots below of the screens I mean, and later today if I get to it maybe even some shots of where these cameras could be mounted on the vehicles.

Argument for having these cameras:

Enhanced cooperation. A rear facing camera invisible to the other vehicle crewmen produces heightened cooperation in multiplayer between cargo and crew, since the players in the cargospace can observe the screen and spot enemies closeby inside the field of view of the camera. {F22366} {F22367} {F22368} {F22369}

Sit in cargo space, look at screen, sadface because it is perpetually turned off :'(

Additional Information

Maybe add some sort of texture with the new glow-in-the-dark materials to make the screen display some sort of relevant information. Possibly a map screen, instead of camera, or a fake status display?

Video of Syrian guard tanks in Daraya, with gopro cameras mounted on the turret. Possibly, where screens are available, provide such a feed to the cargospace to enhance situational awareness of transported infantry, additionally to rear view camera.
