believe the f3 mode has more to do with delfection shots that most people would normally miss
That is why i never DA, if they remove f3 mode (or at a LAN party where no one was in f3) I would DA. I just don't want to rig my stick for all the xternal view possibilities. For those that don't know, f3 is external view mode, pretty much arcade style flying, and if you are good with the view settings, its like having a transparent cockpit. Seeing is everything in an acm engagement. the body and the wings of the aircraft are necessary barriers to that and requires maneuvering to compensate.. read that realism. So when I get a da challenge.. I am good for it in the main arena where all is equal. btw the ones the claim loudly "I dont use f3 mode" are probably the ones that do.
What, exactly, is the rationale for allowing f3 mode in the first place? Seems ridiculous to allow it in the one place even odds is what the game's all about.
DA was ruined by Alpha Males in game
The arena was provided so the furballers could have that endless furball that the claim to want. AH provided it in the form of furball lake, however, it appears that the furballers would rather fly in the MA and continue to complain whenever someone takes down a fighter hanger. Could be that when confronted with equal numbers of furballing nme in the DA they discovered they really arn't that good and need the distraction of the heavy, slow , fat jabos in the MA to provide that impression that they are skilled combat pilots.
