Its simple for FM,
Flying the IL2 aircraft with openable canopy (not removed altough that would be cool too),
which was also practiced, would automatically entail a performance handicap as things are.
So no FM fiddling necessary. Asking for all planes openable is great, but the early Soviet would gain historical accuracy.
Another bonus: I remember Oleg once saying that he modelled those planes after the perf data of
fine, crafted prototypes. Main production run aircraft were notoriously bad quality (hi manufacturing allowances; as unschooled labourers made them), perf suffering.
Flying open canopied would simulate both bad transparancy as well as an accurate perf handicap....
