F3 view

[shreck]

And you cant fly it, and be in F3 all at the same time. When your actually turning against another airplane in a 1 on 1 you cant be in F3. Theres only one thing F3 is good for and thats for SA in your rear quarters.

Here is the official line!

Rich, would you like to recant? Or keep sipping the coolaid?


The fim shows something quite different

Well, it's true that it's not quite realistic to have all rearward views, as seen from the gunner, allowed from the pilot seat.  Maybe make it only dead 6 view that can scoot back to the gunner's pov.  It's just an idea either way.

Better yet, eliminate the forward view in F3 for two-seaters.... This prevents the dreaded deflection shot that would not be possible without forward F3 view.

My regards,

Hmm try this--> get a bud to fly tail gunner for you, now go find some cons and have him call out threats to you and see if is remotely close to using F3 views! I think you will be frustrated

Besides in a violent turning fest do you think those gunners can do anything other than try not to vomit while trying to stay oriented?

Actually, isn't this how the IL's ability to kill overshooters was discovered?  With Viklas(sp?) as a gunner?  Wasn't the F3.

Can't be, if Vilkas is in the gun, they won't have a chance to overshoot
