You can also push the G-force envelop out somewhat if you are not worried about whether the pilot is going to pass out.

Yup and of course a guy sitting at a computer console in the carrier flight command center has no problem whatsoever heading his plane into the thick shit and will even Kamikaze his plane into a target if the situation calls for it and get high fives from all his buddies when they playback the video.

Drone technology is creating a new paradigm. Terrorists have been the live fire targets and proof of concept.

One could recline the pilot and get greater G-force tolerance. My recollection is the Apollo astronauts endured about 40 Gs lying on their backs.
