It's pretty smart really, gamey, but smart.
However, as soon as you move your mouse (to select E6B or what not) the sight will be ruined right?
Then again, who checks his E6B in the middle of a fight?
Whats so gamey about it? WW-ll pilots never put a phone book under their arse to sit up higher? If its the sight your talking about, and you want to see "gamey", then just cycle thru all your hundreds of point and click to select sights you have here in cartoonLand.
Gee, thats real realistic.
Like I said before to use the word "gamey" in this game you have to address a whole lot of gameplay before you get to my tip of the week. But go ahead and pose as a purist anyways since its always good for a laugh.
Frankly your not getting much of an edge over any opponent whose worth 2 cents in a fighter. You cant turn the Mossie any better, cant climb any faster, cant bomb any better, cant fly any faster. You can simply look out the window better. And all of you have fiddled with your computer game views vis-a-vis your joysticks until you got the result you want, which is already completely unrealistic. In the actual airplane you got what was delivered and that was the end of it, "minus the phone book".
Listening to some of these poseurs gives me a giggle however. Therev are some who would think this is cheating where'as upping a Mossie and repeatedly killing helpless airplanes on the runway as fine game play.
Want to see something funny? Watch a dozen of these heros slaughter helpless airplanes, "of course while a nearby town is untouched", for 1/2 hour and then watch what happens when a few high cons come in from an adjacent enemy airfield.
Its like a flock of chickens getting kicked. They all run for home, "of course no gas or ammo", in order to land their kills and if you hang around, all of a sudden, your all alone.
So "gamey" in this game is a word used way to often. It should be saved more for types of game play instead of where you set your hat-1 views.
Actually saving and brining up your E6B is a problem. If you are on a strike mission you need it up and if you bring it down, then up again, the map defaults your airplane to the center again, which makes you need to move your cursor again. I solved this by making the E6B smaller, putting it in low left of the screen, and zooming out on the map so I can see the entire route. The compass helps a lot too. I always pay atttention to my compass heading.
This tip is no panacea for all the other aspects of successful Mossie flying. It doesnt change anything on the airplane and doesnt really give you an edge against fighters. It just lets you look out the window better, a thing all of you have already done with your views anyways.
