Opening Canopy

[Panic]

I wish for the canopy on fighter and some bomber aircraft to be openable.

Would there be a reason for doing this?

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

[Panic]

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.

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.

[Panic]

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
