Pilot weight modelled?
« on: October 28, 2008, 10:26:09 AM »
A discussion in another thread about the 110 vs the spitfire got me thinking about something I came across in a book on the 38.  The point that was made there was one of the significant parts to the 38 design was that while the idea of the twin engine long range fighter was popular in the 30's most were multi-crew designs as well.  Which got me thinking does AH model weight for the pilot?  if so does it model the weight of each standard crew member?

So I thought I'd come here and ask any potential experts. :)

I know it's modeled with the goon. Each drunk is 150 lbs.

We drop skinny Chinese ninjas?  A more realistic weight would be 250-300 lbs

Yeah, our pilot weighs more than 150 lbs.  I can't remember the exact figure, but his height/weight ratio suggested a lot of trips to the Dairy Queen. :D (woof)

Just the gear alone would be, what, 70-80 pounds at least?  Maybe more.  I can't, at the moment, recall how much gear the D-Day Paratroops were carrying when they jumped.

They say that women can pull more G's also.  Something to do with where their center of gravity is in comparison to men.

Wonder if the 110 is modelled with 2 or 3 crewmembers?

If they had any gear, they wouldn't be able to jump over 20ft buildings.
