No matter wich side it does.

The mirror argument as justification is a bit specious, but I've heard it straight from a Battle of Britain pilot that they used to open the canopy for better view, specifically heard from a Hurricane pilot.

I'm don't know if they'd dog fight like that (probably not) but they definitely opened it for better view.

I'm glad they've added drag to the action though. That definitely should be in there.

I'll probably continue to fly a Hurricane with the hood open as I'm heading out to battle so I can get a better look around and then close it when I get into a fight. I wouldn't consider that cheating. In fact, I consider it a pretty good representation of history if game behaviour is organically modelling the real life behaviour of the pilots involved.
