I was thinking of buying EECH, I have Apache Havoc, but I have a question:

I was wondering if EECH has any external HUDs so that you can fly whilst on an external view, yet still be able to target and know what the hell is going on. I want to be able to see my helicopter while I fly.

I saw a pic of Gunship! that had HUDs in an external view and like the idea but with all the bugs and bad flight model that I've heard about I don't really want to buy it... I'm not a complete flight sim enthusiast, but I do like having the realism in the flight model, etc. I just don't want to fly inside the cockpit.

CH doesn't have any external views with MFD displays, but some of the crew views (Ctrl-F11) put your viewpoint outside of the chopper looking into the cockpit, in some of these views you can read the MFDs in the cockpit well enought to fly and fight by them

Hmm, okay, thanks guys. I'll most likely buy it and see what comes along with the patch. Now if only Razorworks would develop a Hind addon, I'll be happy

Yeap MFD repeaters with no cockpit view A-H style are in the upcoming patch.
But the original question was about external chopper view. Yes you have toggable overlay HUD view on external view targeting is somewhat difficult IMO in this mode as MFDs not present in this view mode.

Well, there are no MFDs, but you can be in external view (F5) and have the HUD displayed (Alt + F2)...of course this doesn't help you to see the IFV that you just overflew and is now lighting you up with a string of tracers.

I, personally, don't miss that feature that much because with a simple toggle of a switch, you can be in map mode and back, almost without blinking. EECH ROCKS!
