Oxygen

[Arlo]

How interesting would it be if pilots suffered from hypoxia above 10k if they didn't turn on oxygen and if an oxygen system was incorporated into systems that could be damaged, either requiring staying at a certain altitude or diving back to a certain altitude?

Hm.

I think that would be cool for scenarios or some special event. I have mixed feelings regarding MA

Astronauts need oxygen. 

Don't get an oxygen hit. Don't run out. Problem solved.

All are fine points but...but...I don't have a decent counter argumeant.

By the way, the altitude would have to be around 15k. I've gone skydiving and drop alt was 14k. We didn't have oxygen when leveling out and transiting to drop co-ords IMO

It depends on how long you're that high.

I secretly wish that to happen

Very good idea, this should have been around in AH from day one. Ht added wind to make it harder to bomb, then should have 02 in fighters (and bombers) so alt monkeys have something to worry about. Burn rate of 2 just like fuel

some hodrods of ww2 required oxygen to be used with engine on, because of poisonous gases leaking into cockpit
