A canopy misted with condensation could cause obvious problems but the DV panel provides little comfort unless you can side slip. Yes I get the idea that when open they provided direct vision to the outside world but only to the beam of the a/c. The story behind it, is that one Dumb Staff Sargeant pulled the wrong handle while doing an Alternate Landing Gear Ops Check. DV or direct vision panels are found in many a/c canopies.
