Do Red/Blackouts add positively to the game?

im not crazy about blacking out. if you turn the screen brightness all the way up in options, you can see thru the blackness alot better.

it would have been nice to have blacking out, as an option.

totally love it: adds to the immersion factor and also gives you better feel for the speed and the stress applied to the plane. I feel like i can perform better manoeuvers this way, not spending enrgy in abrupt move when I dont have to but cant feel it...

It would b even better if there would b total blackouts imo, when you pull exessive G's. Would certainly b a bitch for those over-agressive pilots out there

I love it, it makes evading a lot easier but means getting kills a lot harder.

It is much better now than it was before. It used to be a spitfire going 450kph could zoom vertical till they slowed to corner speed right at the top of the loop, then used gravity + corner speed to line up a gun shot. It was effective against just about all planes except other spitfires. Now when people try to do that, they can't see anything, so it doesn't work. Now when I see a spitfire try to make a vertical turn, it is an easy, high-aspect target, where it used to mean a head-on attack.

It is also more realistic when a plane is chasing you at around 300 at max-sustained g, it is possible to jink out of sight.

So it lets other planes into the game, and it makes you fly smarter, figuring out the best line to follow to acquire the target. Instead of always picking the path that gets angles the fastest.
