4.13 development update discussion and feedback

The KI 61 will oil it's windscreen.

There are a couple of others.

Remember that the oil reservior tank on 109s is on top of the cowling near the prop spinner. One bullet there and you should have an oiled screen.

No it doesn't, just a few splotches, and it doesn't get worse as time goes by

Okay, I should have said 'a real challenge' instead of 'hardly possible', but anyway, a blocked lower forward view is a major obstacle in landings, even if you have 6DoF, right?

Me thinks the P-40 does that too, or was it the Hurricane?
