| When you get shot down if you select continue mission rather than exit the
mission you can then look around at all of the goings on around you. You can
only see units and planes for a few miles around your parachute I think
although Im not sure but perhaps if you use Action View you can see actions
over the whole arena.
Anyway the way you do it is to press Shift and ` button (top left under the
esc key) to get to action view. Every time you press it you move to a new
unit (sometimes takes a few presses). If you leave the game to run you
should get to see all of the exciting moments like missiles being fired,
bombs being dropped etc. You can then press the 0 key to be able to look
around the units (view orbit).
But an even better way to look around is by pressing Shift and the , or .
keys which are 'view previous aircraft ' and ' view next aircraft' but they
also let you see ground units as well. If you are lucky enough to be near
the FLOT at the time you got shot you will probably be able to witness a
huge battle raging between ground units. Can be really fun to watch. Reminds
me a little bit of Tornado where one of the best bits of the entire game was
watching all of the trains and trucks going about their business.
Developers need to pay heed to these kinds of things - little things like
this can really add to a games depth and gameplay. They are often forgotten
about in lieu of graphics and multiple planes to fly etc.
