in AH when u get a pilot wound in a plane with a co-pilot, u get a blackout. in WW2, didn't the co-pilot had control of the plane too? so can't we jump to the co-pilot position and not get a blackout?

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

You are the only pilot.  The co pilot bailed when he saw blood everywhere.

That wasn't blood, it was tomato soup.  And the co-pilot was in the tail trying to get his first confirmed kill.

Besides, if the pilot is killed and the co-pilot is busy, just get the navigator/bombadier/engineer to fly the plane.  This game is SOOOO unrealistic.

Actually not a bad idea lets say you can hand the plane over to the co-pilot mabey since the first pilot is blacking out and unable to perform his duty and since now the CO pilot has to control the plane what if the plane lost half its maneuverability ex like climb rate decent rate ect due to the fact that now the plane must be controlled by 1 person pushing on the stick instead of 2???

Switch to a gunner position.  Go to external view as required.  make use of autolevel and turret/rudder turns from gunner position.  

No problems, except maybe for landings for some.

Before you go getting too scathing, Lancasters didn't have co-pilots, they had a flight engineer and a navigator, both of whom either had formal, or informal rudimentary flight training.

There are a number of documented cases where wounded pilots were replaced by either the Flight Engineer or Navigator for the flight back to England. Usually the wounded pilot then performed the landing if capable. If not, the newbies did their best to create a "walk away" landing.
