Just a little idea, I dont know why but I think it would be neat to be able to open the cannopy of planes in AH, like before you bail you have to open the cannopy, just throwing it out there, I think it could be a neat little thing to add to the game
-
Only if we can have a 400% increase in wind noise!!! :x
+1000 :cheers:
-
+1
-
The quickest way to improve imersion would be to add a second "m"
:D :bolt:
-
+1, take away the insta-bails
-
Also just like how the canopies on some planes slide, so you get the sliding noise then *click* awesome in my opinion. Always loved those types of noises some reason.
-
+1, and add animation as if you were actually bailing, instead of just appearing behind the plane. :aok
-
and if u wanna bail out a bomber, JUMP THROUGH THE BOMB BAY!!!! :rock +1

hahaha no oh can we get a bombload for the b 17 for dropping buckets of frozen poo lol jk its a storey a friend was telling me in a bombing mission :D
+1 for the canopy. oh and what if we could run to a fighter hanger after bail and get a new plane :x more perkys!!!

Please don't ruin a brilliant idea with add-ons. Keep it simple. Post your own ideas in a different thread.

ooohhh ok :(

Glad to see people like the idea, I dont know why but for some reason I think it would be cool to be able to open and close the cannopy for no reason
-
How would it work with the P-39? :headscratch:
-
lol on planes that were capable of flying with cannopy open :D
-
so you would have to press a key to open canopy, then enter 3 times to bail. which can all be programmed to my keyboard and well wont be a problem for me.

Do you mean only before you bail out of any time you want, so you would be able to stick your head out for better visibility while taxing or low speed flying?
Either way +1

At high speeds probally not, :lol

Press 'Open Canopy key', then press Enter 3 times, and an animation starts showing the pilot struggling to release himself before getting out. No instant bail-outs then as you'll have to wait for the animation to complete. Of course, if the pilot's wounded, bailing would be a problem.

any time you want, but also make it so you have to if you bail
-
pilot should allso have to land on ground befor towering, none of this tower while free fall/in chute crap.
-

does its canopy open forward?
-
P39 had doors or each side of the cockpit

you could see this in FA
+1 for the idea of the opening/closing of the canopy, would be great for those movie makers out there(especially noobs to the "buisness", like me :lol)

bet it was a biotch opening that into the wind
-
best make sure you are flying backwards then :)

hahaha just go up and as the plane stalls jump :D
-

You would have to waggle the stick back and forth like you used to do on "Daley Thompson's Decathlon" to simulate the effort required to open the car door they decided to weld to it :joystick:

Why?
That'll just make it take longer to get back to the fight..

I'd like a convertible B-25, and a life raft for my crew and me when I ditch, please. Also some oars would be nice for when I row to Sweden.
-
rather then canopys on bombers, allow the same button that opens it on fighters open the little cat flap or window

But...how can I have my convertible B-25 without a moving canopy and roof panels :cry :cry
-
lol jettison the escape panels on the left right and center and you can have a targa top B-25

And the top too? Nobody really ever uses that turret anyway, to be honest.
-
Only if they model the buffet that would happen if you opened up the canopy in mid-flight. In some planes, it can have some serious negative effects like the Lightning.
ack-ack
-
was it possible to open the flip up canopy of the 38 while in flight?
-
guys I think we can come up with better things to waste ah coading time, than this one. and if you want cinema in a game get call of duty, or medal of honor, they have those 10 min of cinema prior to starting every mission.
semp
-
who asked for cinema, this wish is just to open the cannopy on planes, I assume it would be an easy graphic/animation to make
-

Not without making the plane enter into a severe buffet. I'm sure on some planes it really didn't matter or had an adverse effect but on others, like the Lightning, it had adverse effects. Unless you were going to bail out, you didn't open the canopy at all in the P-38 while in flight.

so in other words: unless you were gonna bail, an open canopy in-flight would end up an epic fail for some of the speedy planes? Did I understand that correctly?
-

then why bail, and why have a chute ??
awnser is simple, K/D
if a pilot is so worried about his precious K/D then make him float to the ground like it should be.not click end flight and be safe and sound.

In some planes yes, though I can't say which ones other than the P-38 and I don't think the P-38 is alone in this. When exiting out of the P-38, there were two parts to the canopy. The top of the canopy would swing up and there was a side window that the pilot would roll down, that's how the P-38's canopy would open. It was the side window if open in flight that would cause the P-38 to severly buffet.

Bailing doesn't help K/D in any way. It's still a "death" for K/D purposes.

if you bail and tower,it doesent count as death.

It does.
From the Help Page:
"Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)"
For example: My fighter score tour 129:
K/D 7.59
167 Kills
5 bails
4 ditched
3 captured
13 deaths
0 disco
5+3+13+1 = 22
167/22= 7.59. Et voila!
