I wish for the canopy on fighter and some bomber aircraft to be openable. :aok
-
Would there be a reason for doing this?

If you're on fire maybe. Or you had a juicy one... :devil

Yeah maybe, it would still be a cool feature to have!

Only if the effects of flying with an open canopy is also added.

yeah of course, would be weird to fly with no outside noise change

In some planes it would be more than just 'outside noise'. For example, with the canopy open in the P-38 while in flight, it would have adverse effects (buffeting) on the airplane.

I admit that I think this is a cool feature of IL2 and I sometimes fly around with an open canopy in my Emil. But I don't really see a point to it in AH.

Would be a nice feature for a Dauntless.

:airplane: I can just see everything in my living room flying around from the breeze and then when I logged off, I'd have to clean it up! No thanks!

Co-workers are wondering why I'm am laughing.
-
it would be a "cool" aesthetic feature. imagine if it was added to the bail out sequence.
-
Yeah I mean that you could open on takeoff and landing not above 200mph and would be cool as bail animation.
-
here is an idea if you take certain damage to the cockpit, maybe they can add a damage system so were it kills the meters, like airspeed meter thing or whatever, .....or if you take a hit in a cockpit in the right place make it so you cant bail, and another great idea is if every year HT, sends us beer in the mail :rock
-
I think the only reason we would ever need a functioning canopy would be if they animated the pilot bailing out sequence, where the canopy would fly off before bailing.
The current instant bail that vomits out a plane in front of you is kinda lame to watch.

WWII U.S.N. protocol had open canopies for CV launch and recovery (at least at the beginning of the war). Not a necessity but a cool thing players might like for 6 months or so.

Yeah that wouldn't be bad either..
but..
seeing a dudes canopy come past your windscreen as the pilot climbs out would be way cooler then just the icon disappearing to symbolize its a dead target.. :rock

I don't think canopies on all aircraft shed off in WWII (though some obviously did - the 109 for instance).

interesting, I had always just assumed they all were like that with fighters.

Well, might be wrong. :o

Yeah, It would definitely add some fun to the bail sequence to where you don't just appear out of the aircraft, and you can see the pilot physically opening the canopy and jumping out of it.

Flipping the bird in free fall would be a subtle touch.

There was no canopy jettison on the Hayate (Ki-84) you had to wind it back to bail out.

Whew. Thanks. :D

Still a marked improvement on the Ohka, which was fastened shut from the outside.
