The exploit where a pilot can open their canopy while flying even at supersonic speeds is ridiculous and near game breaking. It gives the pilot an unfair advantage in being able to stick their head out of the plane all while there is no ill effects such as in real life. If a pilot flying at such high speeds with canopy is open, they will just not be able to function flying the plane from the sound to the high friction of the wind.
Gaijin should just remove such a feature. what is the point for this game to have canopy’s being manually open if not to give an unfair advantage?
Supported!
I think in props it could be fine, for example in a Hurricane pilots were able to fly with an open cockpit, but it shouldnt be possible in fast jets. However, I think Gaijin coded it in a way that either all planes can open their cockpits or none, so it requires effort to change that in code, without any revenue coming from it, hence the chance for this proposal to get implemented is rather low Id assume …
War Thunder pilots are actually all bionic super soldiers with stalinium supports in their necks to allow them to stick their head out of a plane at supersonic speeds

This was already eliminated years ago.
Open canopy in the past caused significant drag when the fix was implemented.
It seems something happened where it causes less of a drag increase.
Not only drag. Tremendous audio and vision impairment should be modeled in simulator as well. You would not be able to hear or see anything flying 700Km/h+ with open canopy in any aircraft.
I pull 9 G my pilot passes out. Mach 2 wind in his face nothing happens. He even can hear better!
