is it possible to make a view of a player different without using func_camera?.
it would help a lot for seeing above the tiger tank while driving

Try changing the viewOffset value in its tiki.

I guess its possible that the player is attached to the turret, rather than the tank, so try adding it to tigercannon.tik . I think the third value controls height so try "0 0 100" just to check.

i dont think viewOffset changes the position of the view.

why dont you want func_camera?

because it muks up the crosshair
and it would be hard to use in MP

I've used on turret weapons (Like the MG42) but maybe its different for vehicles.

Or maybe seatoffset( Vector offset ) might work.
