The problem with heat seeking is it would not work very well. A heat seeking missle would do a better job, making little justification for a special weapon that behaves similar to a missile but is not as effective.
True while you are using the remote control you are a sitting duck. That servers as a good down side to the weapon. We can add features that make control easier.
- Ex: If you switch to a shotting weapon the vehicle stops moving, could hover or land.
Changing the players view to that of the camera can definitely be done. The PIP stuff may not be possible, I just don't know yet. The client can support PIP but it remains to be seen if it can be controlled using server side code.
I tested a little bit with PIP about a year ago looking into adding a camera to the nose cone of heat missles. Never got it working well, but there are still things I can try.
