I think there should be an option that when your window is cracked in your fighter, you could hit it out. The downside to this would be no crosshairs.

Um...the vast majority of fighters in AH can break 350mph in level flight.  All of them can break it with a short dive.  Even the A6M5b can break 350mph in level flight, and it is on the slow end of fighters in AH.

Some of the piston fighters in AH break 450mph.

The fastest fighter in WWI was the Spad XIII (IIRC) and it topped out at 135mph.  That is stall speed for a lot of WWII fighters.

And that is ignoring the fact that the glass you want to "punch out" is bullet proof plating that is bolted into the canopy frame in all cases other than the A6M2.

Not to mention that if you suceed in punching that glass out, it comes right back into your face because of multi hundred mph winds! lmao

The pilot wound from hell

That plexiglass is alot tougher than you think..even the non-bulletproof
stuff.  In the Phantom, they had a special tool to shatter the canopy for
emergencies.

      The only thing shattering if you hit the canopy with your fist would be
your fist :D .   Oh yeah, the crosshairs are projected on a gunsight, not the
canopy...so I guess you'd have to break that too :aok

LoL! If thats what you aiming for........why not just wish for the ability to OPEN the damn window and stick your head out? Makes more sense than kicking it in......

Uhhh almost everyplane in AH can go 350mph. This inst a WW1 sim its a WW2 sim. In WWI most planes top speed was around 150-180mph.

I just figured out what this thread was really about... He really wants to be able to see when his windscreen is covered with oil, so he wants the ability to knock it out.  Still just as goofy of an idea but I bet i found his motive.

I can get my heavy B-17 to 350+ mph without difficulty. ALL planes in this game can get that fast, easy. Ive riden in an open-cockpit aircraft. Have you? Its NOT easy. with the wind hitting you, you ARENT about to enter a dogfight. Granted, you had goggles, but look to the sides and those are liable to be torn from your face!
