I bet Spitfire era fighter pilots thought the same thing, before the advent to inherently unstable computer controlled fighters. And I suspect a bunch of modern fighter pilots think the same about removing the plot altogether. There's a similar significant benefit there too, remove the meat sack from a fighter jet, and all of a sudden 25g turns become acceptable - there's a lot of limitations on a fighter jet based on the requirement to keep a human being alive while "getting the job done".
