    might as well put a brief case behind you if it's a beau firing, 20mm ap is going right through that!

    The Doc recently posted on the Aussie Beaus had a great quote

    I paraphrase

    "I once met a bloke who claimed a Beau straffed him. I said "it couldnt have been a Beau...you're still here""

    No way I would install that, it wont stop anything fired from a deflection angle and leaves you blind behind, you have more chance of needing it if you install it lol!

    This armour will not protect from 20mm rounds at normal firing ranges... none of the WWII pilot armour would stop a 20mm... or even a .50 cal.

    It will stop .303's... at least for a while.

    Yeah, while you can still hear anything. I don't want to imagine the noise of 50 303's hitting a metal plate right behind your ears

    just kidding, since this headrest have extra weight, and it protect only the head, but nothing else, it had more value IRL than in CloD (you know, lack of refly options back then...).
    But if the CloD pilots feel comfortable behind this 8mm plate, they can choose this (mission makers should include it). The difference of the new "_Late" version 109s is only this head armor plate (with extra weight).

    Extra weight affects the performance of any aircraft.
    Unluckily in CloD all of us pilots have the same weight.

    Would it be possible to add, let's say, 15kg for all blue pilots, because beer and bratwurst have so much more calories than tea and cookies?

    Good idea.

    And minus 5kg for red due to all the hot air we are fed in the officers mess.

    The pilot's make up bag flying around the cockpit of a spitfire in violent moves would be a nice touch...
