Agreed @Roadkill303 ,
I would also prefer to spawn into vehicles while having it by default to give me the first person view!
And then you just click if preferring to change it after spawning in. But for most vehicles I would always want it in first person to get the right perspectives of where I am and where aka my weapons are pointing etc, as sometimes you need to get on the trigger right away.
Ideally this should actually be a soldier parameter setting that we can choose the default for ourselves, so those preferring 3rd person view at spawn can get that while others can choose to spawn in 1st person view.
Shouldn't be a hard thing to implement for the EA Dev team, though their list of critical bugs to be fixed before launch is probably still getting priority first for good reason. 👍
