This is why you get paid the big bucks Snail

Personally, I would've fired him for his stupid caps idea. not  joking!

Jug, where do I sign up for week 3 and stayout of the la7gey!

Heres a question about the F3 controversy:

There is no controversy.  It is just that some people have never been wrong in their life and they are not about to start now 

[Lusche]

Was the attack category invented to help scoring? It seems to me that ATTACK is merely the "gray area" where AH attorney types can work the system without really commiting to anything

 

Yes, "attack" is just an additional scoring category. All planes in AH arr either fighters or bombers basically. After all, no matter if you chose "fighter" "attack" or "bomber" to score in, all your earned perks will go to your planes primal category: Bomber or fighter.

I will ask for volunteers on 200, if Drbones' stories make me want to beat myself in the head with a hammer

Actually they are. because Both Stuka & Il-2 are not fighter/bombers. They are bomber/attackers. And all bombers do have F3, all fighters do not.

True, you know what I meant.   

[RTHolmes]

htc should make it so that you cannot drop eggs or fire guns in any plane in F3 mode.

yes plainly! no firing in F3, no F5 view at all.

havent seen any reasonable argument for being able to fire in F3, or for having F5 enabled at all.

dont know why this hasnt been fixed yet

Maybe because HT doesn't see this as a bug?

True...its a ridiculous, unnecessary crutch that provides pile-its with a Galaga-style, gamey advantage for SA, 180 degree vision, and aerial gunnery.  I would take a compromise...leave it in the appropriate a/c in the DA and MA, just disable guns unless you're in the cockpit.  They can have their SA advantage...just don't let them fire with it.

 Well F-3 may not be a bug but it is sure a massive advantage to the guy using it. If you don't think so go to the DA and record a few fights. I call F-3 mode the Garden Hose Effect. Just spray and adjust the stream to your target. It is just that simple and no real skill required.

Power ups for my plane in mid flight would not be a bug either.  Lets do it

JUGgler for pete's sake, stop using F1 cockpit view..... Use F2, it's MUCH better!:aok

If there wasn't an attack category a lot of fighter pilots who don't care about bombing defenseless GV's and toolsheds would suddenly look like they suck.

I do think all attack/fighters should default to attack when ord is strapped on and default to fighter when there's none.

As to the original thread no F3 in the IL2 (or A20) means no way to see behind you.  And isn't the A20 an attack plane?  It's got F3 enabled.
