Ah Personally I fly my aircraft with it closed because (I don’t know if this is in war thunder) I assume it decreases drag hence increasing performance, now I’m not a good sim player, and I don’t have that many battles under my belt but I don’t see much point of ripping my cockpit of if I’m spatially aware enough, that said I don’t play jet sim I find that annoying.

sometimes you have more visibility withouth the cockpit closed, but that applies more to props.

Most aircraft have only a closed cockpit. With some that did have an open being removed. For some unknown reason.

For props, sometimes I will open as it was done during WW2 and is acceptable.
With jets and missile era. If you fly with open cockpit to hear missiles and flare them instead of paying attention. I have no respect for you.

I don’t think it effects performance. Even if it did have a slight effect, hearing enemy planes in more valuable imo.

ehhh nothing to hear anyway

Closed because.

Anyone who has an open cockpit in props or jets by choice needs a virtual slap. The only thing you should hear with an open canopy is deafening wind noise.

The only time I open the cockpit is for landing and take off.

Why we can hear missiles which flying faster than sound?

After being shot down by an F-16 with an open cockpit (best visibility in the game), I have the right to tear off the cockpit on any plane. I use this because others can use it too. I consider any proposal to make conditions more difficult for yourself in a pvp game stupid.
I love sim and only play it. I always support proposals to deepen the simulator component, but I don’t like closing the cockpit when others may not do this and have an advantage over me. We cannot hear missiles and planes approaching us at supersonic speeds. There are a lot of questions for sound design. These issues need to be fixed, and not blamed on the players.

Address your complaints to Gaijin.
