I completely disagree, the "HUD" is projected by the ship (they're 3D holograms), thus they don't follow your head. The FOV is a bit low (compared to a monitor at least) but as someone who basically played only with DK2, it isn't a disadvantage at all.
When i play on the monitor...specifically in a dogfight... i continually lose sight of important info like velocity (aligning with blue bar for maximum manoevreability) and shield/engine/weapon configuration.
However when i play using the DK2 all this important information is always on my screen...i just need to move my head a little.
