Is the pilot's visibility in line with the other Cutlass variants, or are there any advantages as it is a dropship variant that would benefit from better ground visibility?

The pilot and co-pilot positions are shared across all variants, and the canopy is the same as the Black, so it retains the same visibility. We are aware of issues with alignment and visibility in the Cutlass series and will be adjusting it in a future update.
