I just find it ridiculous to find 10-15K il2s in a furball when I know damn well most if not all would never be there without F3 view! It's got nothing to do with concern over fighting an il2, My comments, to render them to there most basic intent are --> I don't think a plane "built like a tank" for attack purposes with terrible visibility for the pilot traditionaly should have better "actual" views than a fighter, hell better views than a pony! Hell all that armor protection should come with some visual consiquence! Might as well give the mossy F3! Other than speed the raw performance #s are poor in comparison to most fighters for the mossy also in AH 
Put one 20mm gun in the nose of the ju88 and see how crazy that plane could be with F3 views!!
I say once again, if F3 view doesn't matter to you at all and has zero bearing on you flying the il2, then why resond to my topic? 
In a furball? You mean right around an airbase at 1,000' or under kinda furball? And probably one when the FH are down?
Did you ever wonder why you never see P-39s in that same furball? Psssst, its because you cant see out the back end of one.
Well, and in ending, for every one IL-2 sortie you fly I probably fly 500. I never see, nor do I fly, IL-2s outside their home base and only in defense. And never have I seen more then 4 to 6, and even they are looking for GVs and only dealing with fighters when they have to. Which is pretty obvious cause they are such poor performing aircraft. Nobody in their right mind is going to upp one to turn fight fighters in a furball.
Again you blather about what you dont know. The real life IL-2 was almost impossible to bring down by a fighter. The game one is far easier. The AH IL-2 is modeled no tougher then the Hellcat or Jug, and in some ways less tougher. The IL-2 is a terrible plane to accept HOs with and people HO you all the time!
I'm only of moderate skill in a fighter but I cant remember the last time I got shot down by a Con I didn't know was there. The fact is almost all of the AH fighters allow you easy %360 SA tho they do make you work a little by moving your thumb on your views Hat button.

15 IL-2s in a furball?
............Shreck Ive went back and checked your stats for the last few months and you have virtually no interaction with IL-2s to begin with. You've only flown them a few times, only been shot down by them once or twice, and shoot down about a dozen a month. This all in LW. Last month you killed 14 and only got clipped by one once. This month you shot down 10 while getting kilt by one only once. In April you killed 7 and they killed you twice.
So the question begs, "why the Drama Queen act"? Obviously the F3 views dont bother you to much in the game nor do they bother me. The IL-2 is the last plane Im worried about when attacking a base. I never once heard anyone get worked up cause a few IL-2s were up.
