F3 mode! Big load of BS!! Let's get in a il2 and fly f3 mode the while time and blast taters on deflection shot that can never be made :furious







Flame it up


Oh so that's how Ghi does it. I knew I smelled a rat.

F3 mode in the MA for any vehicle type = Lame.  Please remove from game.

thank You

Don't remove it, but say a 1-2 second delay when going from F3 to cockpit and vise versa would be good! And maybe no shooting from F3 also!

  But planes?  no outisde views for those guys.....unless of course the pilot was out in the open.  That is to say, flying a plane that had no canopy.  But even then....he is in a sense buttoned up, seatbelted in so to speak.

Now you know why hartman was sooo successful  :aok

Ghi stats so far this tour in an IL-2

Il-2      174      3      1     110

I think someone is exploiting the F3 mode to gain advantage in SA when dogfighting the iL-2.  Needs to be fixed. that's not the intent or spirit of the game.

Well fixing it will make vuching less risky, I say NO!

Tweaking it, maybe  :aok

Not sure how effective the iL-2's is in preventing "vulching", but that really shouldn't be an excuse for allowing this kind of bastardization of the game principles.

I still say F3 gunning mode is a myth. I have been able to pull off some great shots on passing aircraft always from the pilots seat in an IL-2.

I have gone offline to try & do this in F3 mode & it is near impossible to do on a regular basis. For an entire clip of an IL-2  the best I could do was two aircraft from 400 yards dead 6.

From the pilots seat I nailed 8 from any angle I approached from. Keep in mind these are aircraft just flying in circles. So F3 mode is killing 262's zipping by at jet speeds with a pilot trying to get out of your way? Granted I am not the expert on an IL-2 compared to GHI maybe he can share his thoughts on how he gets it done.

Better still who ever is shooting from F3 mode & landing kills post a video of this. If there are those who are doing it on a regular basis I think it will be a very short list of people who can.

You didn't get hit with the "tater" (37mm). You got hit with the 23mm. The Il-2's 23mm in game have
excellent ballistics and I have bagged people at 1k with them. It's a flying wirbelwind.

I'll admit that I frequently shoot and kill from the F3 mode and don't care whether you think it's "gamey"
or not. 95% of the time if you find me in an IL-2 the base is being vultched and the vultchers are getting their just reward. :cheers:

Vulching, however irritating cannot be described as gamey, if it ever happened, and I doubt it did, chaps taking a field would kill everyone trying to up, rather than allowing them a chance to kill them.

F3 mode is too unrealistic for words. Shouldn't be available anywhere but in the TA.
