Mh, not sure. CloD limits the way you can look "back" by rolling your head back. You can literally just look up. This is okay I believe, maybe even a bit too restrictive.

But let me show you a picture

Do you really think a pilot could look back to the left like that? Just trying this at home in my comfy chair makes me feel weird. And the cockpit of an me 109 was very tight mind you. You could barely move. I assume a pilot attempting this would have to break his neck.

And since you mention it - especially during heavy G the head track should be limited. Looking back like this while pulling crazy Gs? I doubt it.
