Its not the point of knowing or not knowing the F3-F4 views, its about how people can/do abuse them.

Simply put.

Not everyone has been around as much as you, or is as quick as you are. The innocence of a new (and maybe young) person posting something they think is helpful, without sarcasm, doesn't have to be met with cynicism and a sense of elitism all the time, does it? I've read far more annoying topics than the original post.

I wouldn't be surprised if thousands of players do not know about external views from guns. Think about that... ;)


Any sarcasm was directly solely at Badfarma, and his claims that using the various view modes is somehow exploiting the game or abusing the features. I'm certainly growing more cynical (Does no one read the help files, or even look at the key mappings?! Kids these days, Jeez... ), but I wasn't attempting to mock anyone else, nor come across as elitist.

Thousands not knowing how external views work? I'll see your thousands, and raise you hundreds with regards to "Enemy Padlock" :)

Read the help files, people- it is worth the few minutes it takes. :aok

My head was spinning after trying to digest bAdKaRmal33t-o-matics posts. I deleted it after rereading your posts and realizing it was Larry, not you, who was criticizing. My apologies.

There's a help file?

Agreed.

If you want a birds eye view you should have to up
a scout plane.

Yeah, you will actually be dumber after you read his posts, than you were before. As a case in point, I'm not sure now whether you're being serious about the Help files or not, so here you go regardless. :)

You know I've done this in the TA for as long as I can remember.

Up my trusty D3a1 Val, sit on the end of the runway, and keep an eye on the skys at A1 while trolling for dweebs that shoot planes on the runway.

Its the easiest way to view the whole area at one time.

Have I ever used this in the main, nope, not once as far back as I can remember.

At least not since GV's have had no external view.

Its one of those things that may not be perfect, but its the same for everyone.

I've been hear for over a year and didn't realize how that you could do this in a fighter when on the runway.

And I only in the past month or two realized you could do it at all.
