Ability to knock out oxygen systems.
« on: June 09, 2013, 06:38:00 PM »
Idea just popped into my head, if we can damage pretty much every part in the airplane excluding hydrualics and a few other things. Why cant we knock out someone's virtual oxygen system?

We can pilot wound, how about take away their ability to alt monkey?

How it could work is:
Where ever the system is on a given airplane, hit it enough or with a big enough caliber, bang, Cant fly above 12,500 ft without getting white-outs.

Well thats all I care to think into it for now, input?

Most cartoon pilot brains are already oxygen-deprived, no need to knock the systems out  :angel:

lol, that was like watching 999000 in his b-17s of doom...

It was, wasn't it? Now we know his secret. Oxygen. Or whatever gas they were breathing.  :D

Actually it sounds like it was quite severe. How often did you hazard this?

Hmm, first have to research which planes had which systems etc.
*Some had pressurized cockpits, probably most comfortable until a buller cracked a window.
*All probably had oxygen masks...

Next, how much copressed air did specific planes have?
*Two hours worth?
*20mins worth?

After a pilot ran out, maybe a 'white out' would begin if at too high of an alt.

Probably pretty tuff to find all this stuff out for each plane anyways.
Decision to put them all the same system? Like the 'generic radios that all the planes have - if they had. A radio at all...

It doesn't have to be any more accurate than WEP. May well be close enough for most aircraft
to accept a common number and apply.
