The new terrain brings some awesome immersion even for bailed out pilots.
This one time I've bailed near an enemy base. There were enemy GVs nearby, and I had to run my arse off into the woods
and hide. Yeah I could've just ended the flight, but where's the fun in that?
Running in the woods, hiding out from enemy planes or GVs.. making my way into an abandoned farm house and stuff.. man, it was awesome.
