Why are the gunner positions not sufficient for tracking bandits?

Yes, the top of the turret works great for me.

I'm surprised people are getting so uppity when someone has simply requested a model to be brought into line with historical performance that is well documented...sounds like they don't want to loose their easy mode grief machine... :noid

lol  i had  a long thought out comeback all planed out, and there you go stealing my thunder   lol
i think the gv's need f-3 mode, after all the tank commander could get out and walk around a bit


Yeah Whiskey, your a tiger guy.. Actually a tiger commander DID
get out and walk around ALOT.. Had to check the ground
to make sure his big fat tank didn't sink in it... SS tank crews
could get brought before the SS disciplinary court for loosing
a tank to the MUD... Especially a tiger!!!

Then they'd get sent to the SS Fallschirmjeager...

My history books tell me that Il-2 pilots did not have the F3 view, which they masterfully use in our game to time their neg-g red-outs perfectly.

How do you know they are in red-out? By the way its called a 'bunt' and Il2s are not the only aircraft that do it.

If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I don't use F3 in it ... now what?  Ohh as for the synchronized... I use the IL-2's guns like I do with the hurri. I tap the trigger ... makes for more whine from GVers that way. :aok

Why are the gunner positions not sufficient for tracking bandits?  Certainly, they don't work as well as F3 view, but why should something as perspicacious as F3 view be available if you can still see all around the aircraft with the gunner views?

The pilot didn't engage auto pilot to look around the aircraft from the gunners positions.  Who do you think is telling that Il-2 pilot "to time their neg-g red-outs perfectly."

I dont use F3 views either, most of all in the IL2. I fly along blind in about 300% of my 360% just for the challenge and because I'm so good.

Really.....I dont.

No.....really....really....I dont.

I mean it......really......I dont....I mean it.

I'm not kidding....I really dont use it....check with anybody.....I mean it.....I dont :rofl

I'm happy for you Dickie boi. It's good to see a player that confident in his cartoon piloting ability not to need a crutch.
I on the other hand choose not to use it not because I am too good. Instead I refuse to use it as I feel it is one of the most gamey parts of the game. Especially in an AC that does not have a formation that's suppose to simulate multiple crew's eyes.

Like I said good for you. Glad too see you can do more than fluff.... you've come a long way. :aok

Could very well be so...
I run about 50/50 average...

Sometimes I rack'em up like tenpins, and
other times I'm swatted like a fly, LOL!!!

I like the matchup tho.. Kinda like the
Old west 6gun showdown at high noon...

What I really hate tho, are the tower
weenies!!! That park on pavement, so
they get a free shot at ya, MISS, then
tower, to avoid the bombs fallin on em...
Like a child, afraid to take their medicine..

If the Wirby is castrated, it'll get alot
easier tho.. See ya round, crater bait..  ;)

PS. Y'all know who you are... weenies!!!

But you see, I prefer the Ostie.   20mm's are for the kiddie pool.

I give you credit, oh trolling one. You can keep a straight face when saying that. :D But then, while not to bright, trolls are cunning little beasties. Theres no way to check.

I personally believe you but I cant answer for anyone else.

Then what do you do about Osties, and Tanks, and machine gun toting half tracks and jeeps ? They will all need little cartoon guys limiting their load times.


Load times are already modeled in tanks without the need of a "little cartoon guy".

Little bit ago I was defending a base with an A20.  Long story short I landed 7 kills: 5 wirbles, 1 tiger, and 1 spit16...one rearm in this.  But I landed a completely undamaged plane...not a single sprite.  WW's are fine and this was brought up when they were first brought into AH but if you attack them right very little to worry about.

On a side note upped a WW killed one Niki with perk bonus of .78 and got 4.71 perks....thats what need fixed!  Completely utterly stupid to get some many perks for such easy kills.  And the niki was coming right at me...so don't go well there ya go WW is uber!
