Open cockpit canopy exploit needs to be eliminated

[Normandy_Corsair]

yes, but you can just combo it with breaking canopy = basically muted sound by wind, they just need to tighten up how loud/far other jets can be heard when you have no canopy, I’d go as far even as to just disable the sound entirely of other planes and just make your plane’s noises fill the sound scape

you could go as far as forcing a J’out/crash if you go over a low speed without a canopy

@Steelbeast

that other aircraft cannot be heard regardless open/close canopy

You can see it in the videos I have provided that, in fact, you can’t.

@Steelbeast

i don’t remember any patch notes indicating GJ tackled this issue

Then you live under a rock, because they DID add huge wind sounds months ago.

Sound: Ground Vehicle Radio Distortion Changes & Open Cockpit Sounds

Radio distortion from ground crews has been subtly reduced, making their voices more clearer. Our sound engineers have also implemented muffled sound effects when a cockpit canopy is opened at high speeds, as flying with the cockpit open previously gave a hearing advantage.

Here’s the proof.

I’ll record you a video…

@Ion_492 I can still hear a lot with closed canopy, so they did not touch that… that is probably the reason why I did not notice any changes …

If our supreme leaders ad Gaijin would actually do something of significance here, as in the canopy being torn off hitting the tail fins or wings and damaging them (since breaking off the canopy does not necessarily clear the plane like ejecting with explosives does) and severe disorientation, visual and audio impairment at speeds… it would take about 5 minutes before some expert players ( that use every possible in game option to make their winning chances higher) come crawling on all fours, foaming at the mouth as if they have rabies yelling how this blur, shake and whatnot is causing them motion sickness and that the developer doesn’t care about people with disabilities, until they make an option to turn it off. Of course they can do all sorts of ACM with swinging their head around, the motion sickness always comes from “bad game design”.

That stuff can cause motion sickness, and it shouldn’t even be added in the first place, especially since it isn’t impossible to accidentally rip the cockpit off.

And what speeds would that be happening at? Would it change based on cockpit style too? Why should gaijin put dev time towards a near non issue?

[Arnoldio]

Case in point. :D

I never cared about this anyway. Alas, there is many non-non-issues that they ignore, it’s just yap.

You can still hear aircraft but only in certain circumstances. Aircraft can still be heard passing by and I could also hear a Yak before I could see it. That said when I put myself intentionally near or even in front of the Yak it was quiet unless very close.

It seems a bit…random. But definitely better than it was.
