I only do it when I'm driving a car where I don't have to shoot anything. It really gives you a wider view, like the AT behind the crate or sniper to the left/right.

It's handy in tanks if a Spec comes up to the opposite side of the turret to blow it up. I know people don't use the different views, because I can get right up to their back and blow them up.

In transport vehicles, always 3rd person.

In jets, constantly changing between 1st person and fly by.  (In accordance with the guide a la sarge1.4)

Otherwise, i leave it.

All the damn time.  While moving in a transport, 3rd person.  While in armor, 1st person unless I am staying still (capping), then I flip between all views.

Yeah, pretty much the same as above.  (Your poll does not have the 'never, I enjoy the first person realism view' option )

Good topic.

I just recently learned how to do this. I think it helps. Especially with the limited view of some of the vehicles.

Light/Heavy Transport & Boats: F10 view at all times.
Jets: F9 (no cockpit) for bomber and gunner, and I use F10/11/12 for checking behind, etc.
Armour: F9 always, sometimes F10/F11 in flag zones for checking on spec op fags with C4 (saves spinning the turret constantly).
Choppers: F9, no cockpit for pilot and gunner.
AA: F9.

As a passenger in any vehicle: F10 view, sometimes F9 in APC (the guns can do damage ).

never in transport vehicle, I hate the 3rd person view
in tanks, only f11 to see behind me
in choppers, I only get rid of the cockpit
and in plane, normal view or f11 to see behind me.

I switch views all the time in jets/helicopters and I've got in the habit of doing it every time a building/tree/object is near. If you don't use your other views in a plane, anyone who does will shoot you down with no trouble.

Light/Heavy transports - Usually drive it in 3rd person.
Tanks/APCs - When near a flag, I cycle views somewhat constantly to check for any sneaky bastards.
Helis - Cycle through for fun, don't use attack choppers much so...
Jets - 1. Get rid of cockpit. 2. Flyby (although I don't use it very well ) 3. Rear view to see if anyone is on my six.

when flying jets I'm always switching between cockpit and fly by. I'll switch views when flying choppers but no as often if i'm gunning. Jeeps all the time. Tanks and apc's almost never.,

lol same thing here, my c key is the best sign of hardcore gaming on my keyboard.. Strangely, I never use it to change view.. I must have used it a lot in my good old days of Call of duty then.

Cars third person, all aerial vehicles get rid of cockpit, and in all vehicles cycle camera views for situational awareness.
