Hopefully, a high mud wall can be built behind it, and soldiers can patrol and garrison on it

I think the Operator is one of those game ideas you should probably just abandon. You're always going to lose some fidelity going from RTS to third person mode, and by definition you want the focus to be on the gameplay you're working with most of the time.

100% agree. In my opinion It's just a diversion taking dev time away from the important primary RTS aspects of the game. You've set out to make an RTS, just make an RTS. 1st or 3rd person doesn't matter, it will always be inferior to a game designed to be a 1st or 3rd person shooter from the ground up.

Maybe 1st person is taking dev time away from RTS aspect but it is such a cool feature of the game. I went 1st person to help kill patient 0 with my team and it was very satisfying but other than that 1st person made the game much more difficult since time would speed up and could not micromanage other areas.

thinking from a realistic perspective, to save you time and resources I think 3rd person is a good way to take it. You have mentioned adding vehicle driving ability to the operator and I'm sure 3rd person would be a lot easier to implement than making interiors for all the vehicles. that being said I do prefer a 1st person pov, if your 3rd person gameplay ends up controlling something like Division then that would be cool, also 3rd person allows us to see the custom operator more when you do add more options. it would also give you the opportunity to do take down animations on the player should they get overwhelmed by infected ;) but that's just a thought
