The chase camera roll setting shouldn't flip upside down

It's great that we now finally have the chase camera roll toggle in game, but there is one fatal flaw with it that kind of makes it pointless.

As it stands right now, it will flip the camera upside down when the jet turns upside down. This isn't how it worked in past titles and it removes the point of having it.

Maintaining a consistent camera angle is key, since the two main reasons for having this option is to reduce the feeling of dizziness involved with the camera constantly spinning, and the other is to maintain awareness of where you are in space. It flipping will only confuse pilots more and make it even more disorientating as they perform loops while keeping an eye on their minimap and surroundings. 

The camera should maintain the flat angle even while the jet is upside down.

    Honestly, the chase camera is what bugged me about the game. 

    It was specifically weird feeling for the Little Bird.

    I don't know what was off about it but it just felt off, like it wasn't connected to the helicopter or something. Just didn't feel like how it felt in 4...

    @BSG_fenrirs_j That's a nice showcase of the problem. BF3 portal jets working as intended while the F35/SU57 in main game does not.

    And also you other guys, stop derailing from the topic please. This isn't about whether or not vehicles should have 3rd person camera. Make a new topic for that.
