Does the top of instrument panel restrict forward view, or does the driver sit high enough to see clearly over?

Also, How does the Hog compare with the Viper in what you can see clearly outside the cockpit and what is obscured by instruments?

Thanks

I think the F-16 have the better view...And can't be compare with the A-10...

But I don't know if you can see well inside the cockpit of the Warthog...

(o...sry for all my english mistake...)

Hey...I'm not a pig, I'm the Warthog !

The F-16 has much better visibility out of the cockpit than the A-10 does. However, that's a function of it's design. If you look at the F-16 cockpit, the siderails at are about the level of the pilot's hips, which puts the pilots in a very high seating position. The A-10 pilot sits lower and is surrounded by the titanium bathtub. Outward visibility is still more than adequate and the Hog Pilot can see 360° outside.

There is a lot of crap in the forward windscreen of the Hog that could/should be removed.

It amazes me that Hogdrivers can gunsling like they do with the limited fwd vis the Hog offers.
