I think the average height of fighter aces in ww2 was around 5'5".

They compensated by flying higher than their foes though!

I had a go at a BF109 sim at the Finnish Air Force Museum and they told me that they had to make the sim cockpit bigger than the actual thing, because the average modern human (=flight sim enthusiast) wouldn't fit into the real one. :lol:

Awesome, Thanks for all the input guys.

Ye, some people mocking you could be not accepted in pilots or tankmen or submariners or racers or jockeys or... in real life due to their height or weight so... not sure what they are proud of, mate. :)

Haven't read anything but the OP, all I have to say is a bunch of my friends have Titans and recommended the Omega instead. I got the Omega, and I love it. Save a few dollars and go for the Omega.
