Thanks for that picture. In addition to showing exactly how the armor glass is faired into the canopy and how the pilot's sight line shouldn't include the "bar," it also demonstrates how there was no gap between the armor glass and the forward armor plate for many fighters.

In my experiments so far with the Arcade view and taking on bombers from the rear, I've noticed that there's often a gap between the armor glass and the forward firewall which lets the occasional bullet through when fired from 12 o'clock high, with disastrous results for the pilot. While that's realistic for some planes, for others, it's bad damage modeling.
