They also didn't have to view the world though a small window like our LCD screens. And they had something we don't have in this game, fully functional ears (where the sense of balance is located) which would give them pretty good feedback as to how much they moved their heads/body/binocs even in pitch black darkness. IMHO the lack of bearing indicator leads to a slight increase in immersion if you were looking over the shoulder at someone else playing this game. When I use the binocs myself I feel like when I walk home at night after too many beers.
This is not a demand to get the bearings back though. It's not my mod and I can probably add them back myself. I already changed the attack scope to X10 because that makes ships as big as in the observation scope (both scopes had the same magification in RL).
