I have had distinct penalties on Sonias at 4000 and 1000 feet. At 6000 feet Sonias carried 4 bombs, at 4000 feet 2 bombs, and 1 bomb at 1000 feet. I thought the penalties progressed with altitude drop.

some beta changed the alt for reduced bomb load. This has been long ago already as I wondered about full bomb loads on <6000ft nav attacks in one of my earlier PBEMs

Indeed, I believe it was changed in one of the betas. I should clarify that I don't think my experience applies to base game or game + latest official. I'm almost certain it was a "fix" in a beta.

Load penalties only apply when using LowG/LowN skill - so at 1000 feet. The source claiming that there are penalties below 6000 is not accurate.

Thanks guys. Good stuff to know.
