In the Star Fox universe, pilots amputate their legs and replace them with cybernetics so that the blood doesn't rush out of their head when pulling intense g forces. Would this actually make that big of a difference?

My dad was an air force pilot and I do recall him showing my a g-suit that had inflatable bladders near the thighs that would squeeze the legs to keep blood from collecting down in the lower extremities during g-manuevers so I guess this is somewhat grounded in logic. But would amputating the leg completely make any bigger of a difference?

Douglas Bader was a pilot in WWII, and suffered an accident before the war that resulted in both his legs being amputated. There is anecdotal evidence that he could pull more G's in combat because the blood had nowhere to go.

I await confirmation of this from an expert.
