Default BoM: Wonder if they'll model the poor Soviet Plexiglass?

Salute

Early models of the Yak-1, MiG-1/3 and especially the LaGG-3/LaGG-5 had cockpit plexiglass with very poor optical qualities, to the point that Soviet pilots removed it, or flew with an open cockpit.

This reduced speed by quite a bit, up to 20 kph in some cases.

Wonder if they'll model this in BoM. Should be a part of the game.

Of course, I-15's and I-16's didn't have the problem since they only had the glass windshield.
