109 field of view head movement box...

[Fishu]

Hehe, time to talk about 'blind' F4u and F6F which has also generous 6 view  
(and bunch of others)

[Dowding]

I agree Fishu. I'd like to see limited head movement - especially 6 views.

Some movement is ok, but that seen in the f6f and f4u is ridiculous.

I agree cit,
I understand that the 109 was notoriously cramped and pilots had limited movement.
 
like you said its just a bit generous on 109 and should be a bit more like the p51b which simulates the p51b/p51d difference in field of vision admirably.

Bubble canopies were an immensely important addition and if an aircraft had good allround vision thats part of its weaponry.
what cit is saying is correct i mean look at how the view from a p38 affects the way you fly and fight and defend yourself.When you learn how to cope you learn what pilots learned in the war.

its why i love AH
 
Realism/fun balance gets my vote.requiring skill just not fiddley boring stuff like engine management/complicated engine starts etc...too boring

Well, if we want realism, any head movements to the rear at high g forces shouldn't be possible.

fighter jocks pulling massive amounts of g's just didn't (and still don't) have the strength to turn their head around like that during g's.

Implement this and a poor defender has even less of a chance  .

WarBirds III beta slows down the panning rate of the pan/snap view when you are pulling G...
