DA and F3 mode

[dedalos]

Because I'm saying that more than likely you are incorrect in your assumption that the other guy is using F3.


ack-ack

I think after 10 years of dueling, I may know what I am talking about    So, lets say I am wrong, do you see a good reason for it?

[dedalos]

I can't fly/fight in F3 mode - it's a sure auger or death.  Not even close to really flying. 

Comon now, you just flip over to F3 for a second or two to line up the shot and then back to normal.  I don;t think anyone is flying in F3 mode exclusively.

i was told by either Bruv or kazaa that i was using F3 mode to pull off some nice shots from under the nose which was not the case. so dedalos this is possible maybe not for some but for a select few they are pretty good at it no disrespect at all dedalos   ohh and i am with you all the way to have it removed but i fear it wont happen

Of coarse, I never said everyone is using it.  At the same time time though, it would only take a quick flick back and forth and no one would know.  If there is no good reason for it being there then why have it?  Base on your post, the question has come up before so why even have it there to generate these questions?  Especially if no one is using it?

I am right with ya about having it removed i only fear it will not happen

I am sure the fact that I am the one asking is not going to help either

i have seen many complain about it still nothing

F3 has always been in the DA since i've been playing AH.

Really?  Wow.

I can make those type of shots without F3.

ack-ack

I attempt to make those shots, with highly unpredictable results...

just keep your eye on them

I dont know how to fly with F3, it just confuses me, I do like to fly around with F4 though, because I like to look at the plane im flying and admire it as for making crazy deflection shots, I just take my speed, pull in so the plane im shooting at is in my side veiw, then roll and shoot when I think they (my cannon rounds and the plane) will cross paths, I have made some pretty unbelivable shots like this

i think the F4 mode is really great for someone making AH films i love how the camera follows behind and you can see almost every movement on the plane

Because I fly a plane that is really hard to see over the nose, I've raised my sights so the bore sight is at eye level.  This gives me a better view over the nose that allows me to see shots I otherwise wouldn't have been able to see with the default sight view.

We are all glad you can do that Ack.  I still fail to see any relation to what you can do, what you just described, and what I am talking about.  A big part of a duel, especially when e is lost is to hide under your opponents plane while you are rolling.  When you go back and look at a film and you see said opponent - repeatedly - lining up perfectly (he cant see you under his plane)  while you are changing angles to avoid even a lucky shot, and then he follows with a 2 second perfectly timed burst, something is up.  Not talking about raising gun sites etc.

Do you think having the F3 mode enabled in the DA adds something to the game or do you think it is the wrong place to have it enabled?  I never said that every one that can make a shot is using it.

Really?  Wow.

hehehe S! Oldman, perhaps Ack-Ack's memory slipped him on that one. They introduced it at some point, I believe the same time as the new map with the lake. It never used to be that way.

I agree Dedalos.  If they feel they need that edge that's fine, I can easily film it and check if they had a chance of a shot from in cockpit if I care enough to find out who plays fair. I wish F3 was removed from the DA.
