Are BattleMech cockpits supposed to have windows?

After all, this contradicts the artwork I've seen of several 'mechs, most notably the Timber Wolf/Mad Cat, and of course, all the MechWarrior games since Mech3. Of course, in the games, I suppose they could be projected images on the inside of the cockpit wall, but they look awfully a lot like windows made of glass or something equally transparent.

Yes a couple novels depict this and I am wondering if MWO will feature anything similar to this. 360 view would be trippy

Also stories of cockpits smashed in by elementals, and not to mention Cassie Suthorn and her own exploits. Stackpole's novels are also replete with cockpit descriptions that include transparent window like views.

Actually back in the way back days of that book a lot of things were different. Mechs lacked windows, lasers were invisible to the naked eye, a untraceable gyro error was common and neurohelmets were lostech.

I figured the windows were the reason the cockpit was so fragile (max 9hp)
