I don't know an RAF pilot who does this, nobody ever mentioned it from groups I know. I open it often on patrol for better vision, only in the Hurricane. |
I see several pilots doing it online (open canopies are visible) and one honest guy admitted it openly (he is a nice guy and a very good pilot btw). I just flew several sorties in Atag in red planes and kept the canopy open to test this bug again. Well, it saved my life several times because the droning of 109 engines is clearly discernible before they reach firing range. It's again the only explanation to Spits and Hurries breaking when my 109 approached them from 6 low, the famous dead spot.
It's a sad bug and it must be corrected, as it is it ruins completely the pleasure for several 109 pilots who try the only tactics allowed by today's FMs, B&Z or sneaky 6 o'clock pursuit.
Other than that I'm happy that the Red planes FM bugs have been corrected, they are a good match now.
Cheers.
