This view will centre on the enemy that is currently selected as the target. Your plane is shown in relation to the position of the targetted enemy. The aiming reticle will only be visible when it would fall within the current view. ie. when your plane is pointing in the direction of the targetted enemy. When the Target View key is released the view will return to the last selected permanent view. This view includes a new icon on the HUD, located at the bottom centre, that is an inclinometer. This shows your planes rate of climb (or descent) to assist you with flying when using this out-of-cockpit view.
