I have heard the horrors of the 3rd person view being abused in other Mechwarrior Games (living legends).
If I may make suggestions.
- Make it so the player base has to choose between 1st person & 3rd person mode,
- They Can always play both modes
- Keep the 2 views in separate modes... Like Assault & Conquest.
- So you either play 3rd person Or 1st person.
But also feel it will be abused, & turn this great Simulator into an Arcade game with simulator attributes.
I do like the eye candy involved with 3rd person view, & miss it.
- So how many modes are you thinking of introducing? e,g community warfare... Capture the flag,.. free for all (Solaris V)...
Keep up the good work

I am looking forward to the clan mechs & trust you will balance there versatility(Same slot numbers).

Thank you for your time
Kind regards
