Row boat

Quote from Deirdre

Basically a boat has a bow and a stern. I think he means he sees the stern while rowing, and in RL this isn't correct.
But actually you can row a boat in two ways.

As I wrote before a rowing boat is only (properly) rowed with the paddlers facing the stern for them to see what the commander of the boat wants them to do. Maybe a canoe or a small one person vessel can be rowed both ways but most of them are anyway built with the benches so that you have to face the back of the boat to row it properly else you cannot sit right.

Sure, with very small boats you can change the sitting direction, thats what I meant and our rowboat is very small. Its possible, but makes not really sense.

On games. When you use any type of vehicle, you see forward, so you see the direction you're traveling in. You don't get in a car and reverse everywhere. On elite dangerous you don't face the back of the ship. That's my point. Not what is the correct way to row a boat.

This is a good point and I fully understand it. I believe that once the 3rd person camera is implemented then this is going to be addressed as well

I watched the boatpart of the video. - - -> FOV . . . . Field of view.
He is not able to see it. Perhaps if he looks down.
