RE: Recon Missions 20k high Flak losses?

<t> Whilst I agree that the flak losses on recon flights seem ridiculous, am I the only one thinking that the mission size itself is also ridiculous?<br/>
<br/>
I'm not having a go at anyone, just making a general comment but the whole recon system seems wrong to me.<br/>

What is the impact of the altitude on air to air fighter combats?<br/>

Each fighter type has an optimal altitude. So what happens when fighters set to 20K Alt are engaged with fighters at 10K Alt?<br/>
Which altitude is used to ...

RE: How does altitude affect the air missions?

<t> From my understanding of the book, in ground attack and ground support missions flown by dive bombers or fighter bombers, they will fly at the altitude set by the player but conduct their actual attack at much lower altitude just as would have happened in reality. This will expose them to ground ...

Merry Christmas.

Wishing everyone a very "Merry Christmas", however you celebrate the holiday.

Here's hoping that all your battles are 'In Game' and that peace/goodwill achieve a major victory for you all in your real life situations.

RE: Transferring Air Units not in an AOG?

<t> If you click on the airbase where the unit is located, you should see a dropdown of each unit based there. Left click on the chosen unit in that dropdown and move it using left mouse button + CNTRL to draw a box around the base you want it to transfer to.... It's under 17.3.4 in the manual ...

RE: Help New Players on Steam

<t> The 'benefits' of opening up to the Steam audience could be a double edged sword.<br/>
Games like this and the other Gary Grigsby classics are aimed at a very niche market and given the way the Steam forums and reviews work, I fear the noise made by people these games are never going to appeal ...

RE: Extreme Axis Air Losses ?

<t> I'm no expert so could be very wrong but given your losses of level bombers and fighter bombers, I'd say you were flying too many unescorted missions and flying too low. Low flying will get you shredded by light flak and long range, unescorted bomber missions will suffer high losses, even in ...
