This is another thing I wanted to mod in 1946: a straps intensity simulation that influence the pilot's head movement.

So a pilot need to pass from a "cruise mode" to "combat mode": I know that P51 had a usefull level to tight/untight their straps in a second, while in other planes pilots need to do it manually.

No sound radar, no Reed Richards in the cockpit... maybe you can ambush an enemy plane without having to bnz at 600km/h but simply moving closer.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
