No air to air combat

Here is the save I used in my test.

It is just a bunch of Luftwaffe bombers set to bomb the Foggia airfields. Adjusting the altitude higher then 9k will get the bombers into air to air combat. At 9k there is none.

I was looking at your sever save and was able to get plenty of A2A against your 9k strikes.

As with your server game I'm seeing intercepts at 9k and below.

May be detection goes down a bit too sharp with altitude. Will test to find it out.

I see intercepts on the recon aircraft, but then they are flying at 25k feet. I see nothing on the strike aircraft.

For fun I copied the save into the development game folder (version .19)

I still see no fighters intercepting the strike aircraft at 9000 feet. But the flak damage between the versions is a lot less.

It intercepts at any altitude, just with reduced probability. Reduction is indeed quite sharp. I'll make a fix.

They can get shot without any adjustments. :)

FYI, I have adjusted low alt detection and we are trying to get it into coming public beta.
