High Altitude Camera's

Post by Stephan61 »

Am I right in understanding the below data:

High Altitude Camera Ceiling 50000 (ft?)

If that is correct, then I assume that flying a Recon at 20k + ft, would negate all Flak that is effective below 20k ft.

Am I mis-understang this?

I thought the same, but right now flak losses are huge, so don't expect low losses here.

Also there are some strange results like here

P.S

Ah lol. You was topic starter of that thread [:D]

Recon alt is just the alt an aircraft flies from/to target. it may gain some recon on its way. Over the target area the recon a/c tries to climb/descent to the camaera's optimal altitude which is 36k for the high alt cam.

So where is that data found - 36k?
Is it hidden the editor?

Aircraft max altitude is 34.4k, will it still try and go higher to a 36k? Might it cause additional operational losses?

Camera data is in editor/device
a/c won't go over their max alt
Be careful not to use low alt cams over areas packed with Flak
