So, apparently there is no 3rd person view in this game. Get used to this kinda view.

    Close up of the components.

        Ship Component Slots

        • Primary Weapons
        • Auxiliary (x2)
        • Countermeasures
        • Hull
        • Shields
        • Engines

        Each component offers unique effects to your ships, though most have a trade-off. For example, one type of shielding system will provide more protection against blaster fire but less against missiles (or vice versa). There are many more examples beyond that, too. To add to this, you can make your squadron look how you want, as well. Your two pilots (Imperial and Republic) and eight starfighters (four per side) will all have various cosmetic options that you can earn and unlock while playing. There are plenty of different ways to stand out!

    I am more than happy with this. In the XvT Series you could do third person, but you had no HUD if you did. And besides, for immersion I prefer to fly in 1st Person Cockpit view on all flight sims (VR or not, and I don't have VR on my PC).

    I even play BFII 2017 Starfighter mode and the campaign all first person where possible. (Some cut scenes would force third for a moment, which annoyed me).

    This is being a starfighter pilot for the true fighter pilot gamers. This game will entirely be focused on the players skill to track and kill their targets.
