I miss the F3 view in the Il2. Say what you like, but I did have good fun furballing in it and the massive amount of solid armor in the cockpit makes that pretty hard now. I still try, but meh. I'll agree that being able to shoot from F3 mode was a bit much; I always hopped back into F1 for that. I'd rather they had disabled guns when in external view than remove the view, but that's just the opinion of one or two guys against the horde.
