do you have premium?

[Renousim]

no :(

[Maxwell.]

future update will introduce open canopies

Canopies that open won’t only increase the view radius for players who like flying with roosterpit view - it will also create changes in the flight characteristics of the aircraft. Moreover, at high speed it may be completely impossible to open the canopy because of the wind force. These settings require time and careful implementation, we have worked on this continuously. Finally, we are able to present the first "birds" that will be able to open and close the canopy from inside the game.

better situational awareness in sim battles i guess

[Renousim]

those can most likely be ripped off and will give lots more vulnerability to the pilot

...to see better? it said that on the steam thread/quote

[HellHound]

Opening the canopy can increase your ability to see slightly, but mostly I feel it's just to make your pilot look like a badass from Crimson Skies.

Um, yes it does?

The front windshield can be so thick it'll rival tank armour. On the FW-190 it's like, 59mm thick at 50 degrees or so.
