This is a setting that needs to be toggled within combat.

Allow us to switch between the torso centered and arm centered view. "freelook" almost already does this, but its a hold instead of toggle, and your torso doesn't move.

For example when you do free look currently, it becomes arm centered, the torso doesnt move and where you look your arms follow and the arms weapon site (the tiny circle) is at the middle of your screen. you have to hold the free look button down.


The situation where its begging to have a toggle is lets say your in a typical circle brawl with another mech your torso is turned to its highest limit then your arms go past the torso's limit. Your going to notice that the center of your screen is stuck centered on the torso. So your forced to play twister on your keyboard, freelook makes your arms the center with the disadvantage of the torso remaining rigid and unmoving.

What I'd like to see is a button that allows you to toggle between the torso and arms being the center. This way if your in a turn fight at least your pilots head will follow the arms as the focus rather then the torso. Then you can toggle back and forth. So like you got weapons on the torso or don't have arms the torso becomes the center of the pilots view

It cant just be a setting but a toggle that can switch in combat.

This is all about the pilot's head and the center of what he is looking at.

If the left control is out of your reach maybe re-map it to f to solve your problem for now.

From day one i got it mapped to caps lock. thanks.

Just to be clear the problem IS NOT about having a toggle for freelook or not, free look is perfect as is. Im almost sorry I mentioned it. Miscommunication on my part.

The problem is the center of the pilot's sight the very center of your screen should have a toggle of following between following the hands and torso, a toggle that can be changed within combat.

Maybe the better term if your familiar with flight sims is the PADLOCK view. For example they can have padlock view to selected target, your pilot would keed his head centered towards the target. But what i'd realley like to see is this padlock view thats lets you change the focus between what your arms are aiming at and what your torso is aiming at.
