cabin pressurization
« on: February 08, 2009, 02:10:57 AM »
If a b-17 is shot in a compartment, won't the cabin start depressurizing at a certain altitude?
I don't see this in game at all.
The lack of oxygen would knock the pilot unconscious, and eventually lead to death; It should be added to the game and damage list. (10,000 ft. or 3,000m is the altitude level the oxygen starts to decrease.)

Just another problem you have to deal with while flying high.  ;)

B-17s were not pressurized.

Pilots and crew wore oxygen masks above 10k.

I don't think we have any a/c that are pressurised.  Some late 190's were.  Ta152 maybe.  Another reason not to add the B-29.

Ha, so modify those models and leave these poor B-17's alone.

What we don't have is hits on the oxygen tanks, which will really rupture your day.

Great idea! Lets enable hypoxia above 10k and not give anyone any O2 masks.

Best way to keep the fights under 10k in the MA.  :aok

Ta152s never really got the pressurization to work.  IIRC the pressure systems were ignored as often as not..
