BF109 Cockpit Tube


Recommended Posts

Out of curiosity (since my inept Google searches turned up nothing) does anyone know what the short tube on the right hand side of the 109's cockpit is for? In VR if you lean down it goes right to the outside of the plane with no obstructions.

Firing your flare gun through.

Ahh...okay. That's what I thought but wasn't too positive. Thanks!

Also if you hit the keys to bring up your flair gun with the canopy closed you'll see it appear plugged into the tube.

And if you crane your head just right in the Spitfire, you can see there's a spare wooden leg stowed under the seat for Douglas Bader!

I tried this to no avail but hitting Shift+F3 does indeed bring his leg up but it blocked the view ahead of me in VR

Would not the wind blow through this whole into the cockpit annoyingly all the time?

...and 109 pilots are apparently the only ones with a knack for shooting off pyrotechnics as well since I’ve failed to locate any such device on any other German plane thus far. The only google results were this...

I wouldn't use that button in multiplayer, its considered bad form to try and get a leg up on the competition!

As I understand it is designed to be in a pressure area so this does not happen

I always wondered why that happened.

They always told us it's a feeding tube for serving bratwurst and bier schnitzel to the hungry '109 pilots sitting on the tarmac while on alert.
