I don't know about cutting the HuD back - but expanding your FoV settings helps.

If I remember right.....
You need to make a file in the MWO folder (but I cannot remember the name!) and add in a line of text - gimme a sec and I will look it up though

You can change the FoV in the user.cfg file by adding the following line:

cl_fov = 75

The number is the FoV expressed in degrees. I think the min is 60 and the max 90, with default set to 65.
If you do not already have a .cfg file, you might need to make one. goto:

C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online, then click 'new folder' on the taskbar and name it user.cfg. When you open it, just use notepad to alter it, and be sure to save it when closing it. If already running, the MWO client needs to be restarted for changes to take effect.

You can also look around the cockpit if you hold the CTRL button.

This has the additional use to be able to temporarily 'freeze' your torso direction and move the arms alone. This way, you can fire your torso and arm weapons at different targets or keep your torso turned a bit to the side to protect damaged components better.

The FOV limit is 90. Note that higher values will generate visual distortion, making it slightly harder to judge distances just by looking.

and any change in user.cfg may also cause "unintended consequences"
