The use of the F3 key should be allowed for buffs and their gunners. I am not a Buff driver so it really does not make that much difference to me. Not allowing Buffs the use of the F3 key seems unfair. The bombers had the highest level of SA of any plane. All the eyes in these planes were constantly searching for fighters. For a B-17 with a crew of 10 there were 8 people searching all the time for threats. You should never be able to bounce a Buff without him knowing you are coming in a fighter. Unless you were coming out of a cloudbank it just would not happen. By only allowing 1 gunner on a Buff in the game requires 1 pair of eyes to try to cover all the positions this is highly 1 sided. For a Buff that does not have a gunner the Buff will not hold auto climb while he jumps to gun positions to check SA. Allowing them to use the F3 outside view would seem to a fairer setup. They are easy enough to bring down anyway so they should have a fighting chance by not being surprised. Otherwise the Buffs here will just do what they do in Airwarrior. Go very high so you have no chance of getting to them. I would hate to see that happen here.
