F3 mode
« on: May 15, 2006, 02:09:35 PM »
I have one question, why is f3 enabled at all in squad ops?
With this on there is no element of surprise at all.
Make the bombers work a little.
Heck get to alt , jump into bomb sight, hit f3 and scan ?!?!?!?!?!?!!
C'mon make em work a little. Make em get into a gun position and scan.
If i am the only one who feels this way then so be it .
These are just my opinions , please feel free to comment.

When you have a formation of 3 B-17’s you would normally have 10 crew in each or 30 pair of eyes scanning the sky. Granted of the 10 only 6 or so were gunners, but that is still 18 men scanning the sky, not to mention the pilot and co-pilot. IMHO to not allow the F3 outside view for bomber pilots it would put them in an unrealistic disadvantage.

Ya the bombers  trying to hold formation have enough to do without the handicap of no f3.

Fighter F3 view on the ground is now coded into the game, you can't turn it off.
Easy in-game again.
