Best altitudes?

Post by sparrs »

Hi,
What do you ppl set your altitudes to? I am mainly interested in Carrier TFs, ie for SBDs and TBDs. I gather that the dive bombers need enough altitude to bomb, I am thinking of around 10k, and say 500 for TBDs?

Is it best to leave it all at default settings, or what?

How about escorts and CAP?

Cheers,
Kevin

What's the best altitude for Beauforts?

I notice they are torpedo armed and have tried 100, 1000 and 6000 feet but haven't seen a torpedo attack yet.

Looking at AAR's I've seen them attack at 200 feet from memory but there is no option to set 200 feet as attack altitude.

Mike-
I've had success leaving them at the default 6,000... But you need to let them get some easy targets or train them up first for best success - otherwise they tend to get chewed up pretty quickly.

Thanks for that madflava13.

Yes, they are very fragile.
Just had several knocked down in an unescorted raid against CV's.
