Hi.
I asked this question a few months ago. Nobody answered me.
From my esperience I can tell you that that doesn't worth the effort.
However, you can try if you REALLY need it (emergency air supply for instance).

Sorry I didn't see Laits question when he asked it.

It is definitely NOT worth flying in Extremely Poor weather. While you don't suffer many air-to-air losses because the Axis doesn't fly, you do suffer some flak, and more importantly you usually don't hit anything. Plus you suffer morale losses.

Use those extremely poor weather turns to 1) Rest, and 2) Upgrade aircraft models.

Almost certainly no. You won't hit anything and your operational losses will be terrible, as will your morale and fatigue loss.
