F3 improves both your overall 360% vision and it allows you to line up ground targets better, most of all small ones like GVs. Most of all with a poor roller like the IL2 In effect thts all it does. I heard tales of accusation saying some were shooting forward guns in F3 but I found that, at best, a rediculous tactic.
Then to make it worse they put the IL2 in the FH so now all you have to do is bomb 3 hangars to over run a base with GVs. A few fighters along will keep the Lancstukas down, or, since the Ord bunkers are so weak you can just bomb them to, or shoot them down. Game over.
When the IL2 was in the bomber hangar we still had a fighting chance to save a base. With F3 you had a chance to dodge fighters better and you could still kill GVs even without Ords.
Now? Its game over much faster to the horde. Tellya the truth when I see a base crippled to that point I just move on to another fight. At best all you'll end up is vulch bait to the fighters and GVs who have over ran the base. Thats what removing F3 from the IL2, and putting it into the FH has done.
Real shame. Its taken the game down a notch and all due to the Waaa-Waaa of the GV'ers.
