Seriously, have you ever fought the chaff that is permafixed to furball lake? F3 is their only saving grace.

Bombers that can fly in Attack Mode are still bombers. Scoring mode doesn't change the plane and any plane that was multi-crew IRL should have the advantage of F3 to offset the disadvantage of solo-manning. And yes, I extend this to 110's! And yes, I just started a sentence with 'and', twice!

If fighting someone who uses F3 mode puts you at a serious disadvantage, you're doing something wrong.  Something horribly wrong.



And that is a reason to have it on?

It's an SA crutch more than an aiming crutch.  Effective use of in-cockpit views provides more than adequate SA anyway, and aiming is easier in nearly all situations from within the cockpit than from without.  If people lose consistently to players using F3, they're doing something wrong.

 BTW< I don;t think anyone would leave because the went to the lake before F3 was anabled

I believe F3 was enabled when H2H dropped.  And the type of person that won't lift a finger to learn something new (no F3 mode) is exactly the type that will quit when they can't have their way.

God help me but I think Dedalos is correct  :huh.
Not one person has said they need F3! All either say "change it" or "it doesn't matter"

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo


The over all concensus is, it sux or it doesn't matter.

Why have it at all?

Again just saying :aok

Not that I care for DA lake, but I can imagine, the F3 view can change dynamics of the fight quite a lot.

In DA you got guys flying Tempests and other ungodly birds and only pick when safe. They're hovering 4-5k above anybody else. They don't have to maneuver to see if somebody is on their low six or climbing to them from bellow. It's nearly impossible even for a team of 2 or 3 to come into gun range, since F3 works as early warning system. It makes even the worst stick pretty much untouchable from anybody with a lesser bird.


If I'm right, then it's good to get rid of F3 view.
If I'm wrong, then it's no need to have F3 view enabled.

I wouldn't think there is enough F3 following to affect the bottom line! In fact I'm quite sure about this!

I have been wrong before though :huh       Marriage and all :D
