I'm glad they've added drag to the action though. That definitely should be in there.
I'll probably continue to fly a Hurricane with the hood open as I'm heading out to battle so I can get a better look around and then close it when I get into a fight. I wouldn't consider that cheating. In fact, I consider it a pretty good representation of history if game behaviour is organically modelling the real life behaviour of the pilots involved.

Ask your BoB pilot if he could hear a fighter 700 yards behind/below him
It's not opening the canopy that's cheating, it's the abuse of the sound radar.
