I don't, but you can shoot guns rockets and drop bombs from the F3 view. Gunsight is better for all, but some guys fire from F3 in pray-and-spray mode. Seen it a few times and heard pilots talk about it as well.

My regards,

that f3 is no spray and pray mode...you can easily walk in tracers while getting a whole view of which way the plane is goin..i know most havent practiced enuff to do this but it aint too hard

Disable F3 for IL2, and do not allow any plane to take on less than 50% fuel in any of the main arenas.

I have shot tails and wings off of IL2s and watched as players gently floated down and exited with a ditch. Something in that FM is queer.

F3 simulates the gunner being able to look around, same as buff gunners.

Why 50%?
You going to apply that to ALL planes?
Or how about no more 25%/50%/75% fuel plus DT's, its ALWAYS 100% fuel with DT's?

some cat in a il-2 raped my 190 the other day, i just knew chaingun had switched sides, never seen him,(my s/a sucks) in the a.m. Yep the il-2 can be very dangerous with the likes of hub-chaingun, those type of cats at the wheel. And a half _prettythang busrt wont kill em either. tough rooski plane.

I guess the point IS, that the IL2 is a dog fighter with external views. However, it is primarily a last-ditch, base defense plane. (Or first ditch, depending on who is flyin). IT infuriates me gettin nailed by one of those things hanging on his prop sprayin cannons 1000 yards, BUT, if those things are up in force, it's because the FH's are down, the base is under vulch, and we are tellin em they cant even have THAT......
