Armored glass vs. Bubble canopy

I wish the sim had the technology to replicate parallax and distortion through the canopy (perhaps a modified rain distortion technology overlay can be used?) so the older types of cockpits with rounded glass could be compared to the flat windscreens. Hell, that can be the answer to the "bar" argument for the planes with thick glass where an optical illusion takes place. Couple videos below to showcase the optical illusion and paralax on some parts of the rounded canopy of the 190.

 

 

 

I've spent a lot of time with armored glass and I've always wanted to see the deep sea green color and thickness demonstrated in a game/sim.  The IL-2 is pretty good, and the color and fact that you can see the glass width in the LA-5FN is nice, but it's still not nearly as severe as the real thing.  

 

Better than I've seen anywhere else though, where armored glass is treated as normal glass but ~magic~.

you guys have to consider these concepts in reality, not just ingame. psychologically, an armoured front glass panel adds quite a bit of confidence for pilots when attacking enemy bombers and alike

 

AI fighters surely attack bombers with confidence in this sim.

Sadly confidence only is not enough.
