Weight

[FLOOB]

I wish that players be required to disclose their body weight so that the game can save it and adjust the ingame weight of the players aircraft accordingly.

[TDeacon]

Good idea.  Given the type of small creature I am (see picture) I would benefit from this addition.

I'm one of those hitler youth pilots. I only weight about 98lbs.

Yeah?  Well, I don' weigh nuthin'!

[Banshee7]

At 260lbs, I respectfully disagree. 

[Karnak]

I am about 200lbs.  If you think a difference of maybe 100lbs is going to be the difference between you winning and losing you're grasping for straws in order to make excuses as to why you lost.

[caldera]

This is dumb.   

[Wiley]

This is dumb.   

I need a ruling here.  Should I feel bad for finding that as funny as I do?

Also Floob, what Karnak said.

If it were implemented you'd be shocked to find out how many horse jockeys play this game.

I wonder though if there is some scientific research that can be pulled up referencing racial characteristics and the ability to cope with G forces.  Point being if the Japanese pilots could take G forces better than their typical Caucasian adversaries than maybe HTC could accommodate for that and allow the Japanese fighters another 1/2 G before blackout? That is just an example.  Same goes for the Russians and their fondness of vodka, maybe since their blood was typically thinned a bit they would not be able to handle the G's?  

Otherwise... this would be far too difficult for HTC to implement.  Also, this hold about as much water as emptying out the rear gun on the 110 "to make it turn better".

If they haven't modeled the well documented advantage of the Bf109 having the pilot's legs more elevated compared to the Spitfire and Hurricane, and they haven't,  I am certain that they will not bother with highly dubious demographic differences.

 Doug Badder was said to be able to handle more G than the average pilot simply because he had no legs for the blood to pool in!   Whether this is true or not I cant say for sure but it makes for an interesting story.

Could we also have a "relief" tube, so I don't have to go to my bathroom to pee during bomber missions?
