I read about a RAF pilot whose Spitfire was hit by enemy fire, 1st attempt to bail he forgot to open the canopy, then he opened it and tried to get out again only to realise he'd not undone his harness, he got out on the 3rd attempt.

Some variation would be nice, it was almost impossible to get out of a spinning bomber unless you were right next to a hatch.

After playing RoF i think that it would be great if, sometimes, you just couldn't get out or it took ages. Especially when you are new.

There was nothing more solemn than taking damage and not being able to do anything as the aircraft plummets.

@SQB, I found out in RoF that when your kite catches fire there's something that can be done to survive. Switch the engine off and start a steep dive. If you're lucky, the wings don't come off and the fire gets blown out before you're toast. Surprised me when it happened the first time by accident.

The Il2CoD video's I saw where they did a quick chute opening had the planes fly fairly low. May have had something to do with it. Would be nice if we actually had to pull the ripcord ourselves.
