what I would like to know is: is it going to get F3 view mode.


I am guessing that the Beaufighter would be treated like the A20. Its got gun turrets, plus the F3 view as well.

I would hope that we get the torpedoes that allow us to go as fast as we want on the drop, just so long as we are ten feet off the water.

Why do we need a twin engine plane of any kind?

Everyone knows they suck and are completely worthless.

Umm.... Lets see here....

BF-110G-2? Worthless? being a Knight, almost every NOE raid I see has a bunch of 110's, and one to five minutes later, they get the base. the 110 sucks. right.

P-38. it sucks you say? Wow, along with the 110, I see those in almost all the NOE raids to. And, one to five minutes later, they get the base.

B-25. It's a gv killin' machine. Even thoe it's big and slow, and is a plane that can easaly get hit by a tank's main gun, You have seen what it can do to ANY un-knowing driver.

262. LOOK at it. It's so "worthless" and "sucks" so much, it's the heavistly perked pland. 4 30mm cannons. do I need to explain anymore?

We need the beaufighter

Skulls22,

You accidentally said "P-38" when you meant to say "B-38".

That's just from Il-2.  Their modders also made the Me 410 flyable.


 Are you saying the 410 wasnt flyable or that IL2 did something wrong and it flies different than it's suppose to?

Originally the 410 was only an AI plane.  Fans of the game modded it so the 410 could be flown by the player (same is true of B-17 and a few other aircraft).  This frequently involves the creation of the cockpit, gunner views, etc.

These kinds of mods violate the user license agreement, but there's a lot of controversy over them because they have kept a 7 year old sim new and fresh when it might otherwise have been forgotten.  I have two Il-2 folders:  one that's full of mods and one that's squeaky clean.

what I would like to know is: is it going to get F3 view mode.  Seems like it would run counter to what HTC has done w/ planes that have rear gunners if it doesn't.  And for that little "extra", I guess it will be perked.

BOSS = Beaufighter Operations Secret Service(perhaps?)


Heck no!  We don't need no F3 mode for the Beau!

And why would you perk a plane that was first flying combat in 1940?

It's not uber, it's just tough, and has a ton of history to go with it.  Throw in that it served in every theater of the war outside of the Russian front, and all the skinning possibilities and scenaro uses and what's not to like?

Bf110 does not have an F3 view, Beaufighter won't either.

Don't know why a 110 would have f3 mode either with views like this looking back?


Beaufighter looks more like the view in a C47, Boston, A20, Oh & what do they all have?

Actually, I think the Beau has more visibility to the rear than a P39 has.  :rofl

6 view has nothing to do with whether or not a plane gets the F3 view.  All that matters is whether it's categorized as a bomber or a fighter.
