It's great that we now finally have the chase camera roll toggle in game, but there is one fatal flaw with it that kind of makes it pointless.
As it stands right now, it will flip the camera upside down when the jet turns upside down. This isn't how it worked in past titles and it removes the point of having it.
Maintaining a consistent camera angle is key, since the two main reasons for having this option is to reduce the feeling of dizziness involved with the camera constantly spinning, and the other is to maintain awareness of where you are in space. It flipping will only confuse pilots more and make it even more disorientating as they perform loops while keeping an eye on their minimap and surroundings.
The camera should maintain the flat angle even while the jet is upside down.

This need more attention than it's currently getting.

Regarding this off-roll update.
Regarding the camera work, from what I hear, it is already possible to achieve this in the A-10 of the BF3 portal. Seems like it could be accomplished by simply migrating the same camera to AoW!
Hopefully the DICE "BF2042 AoW" development team will work on it and fix the specs. I am sure they will do it.

the camera shouldn't move in chase view. having said that, imo third person should be removed for vehicles. if infantry can't use 3rd person why should vehicles get it?

Yes i support this issue, camera roll off should set the camera to a fixed position like it was from bf4-bfv

First person only was a hardcore mode feature. With how much geometry there is on these maps, driving in FPV the entire game would be nauseating. Forced FPV should be an option in Portal or whatever, not in the main game.
BF games are fast paced and are not a simulator. Plus you have Sundance, C5, slow turret speed, and so much weight and momentum it would be a nightmare to drive a tank.

Lol the salt. You’re actually complaining you can’t solo heavy armor as an infantry player. Do you really expect tank drivers to have to scan 360 degrees for any Sundance or parachute dropper to not get C5d instantly?
