HUD system should come, by Mod or not
If you look the image, you will see a stick which is movement vector (pointed with 5). The vector shows us our speed and direction. If we go forward with helicopter, the vector will become point up on the screen. If we go backward, vector will become point down. Right will be right, Left will be left. I think the HUD system should come in SP inside the next update.
The image has been taken from WAR THUNDER. And image is not my image, it has been come from https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/427642-how-i-play-helicopters/
