The Green text is the one that determines altitudes. The Stock WOE/WOV/whatever figures have it so that 9,000 feet (2743~m) is normal. While that works fine for WWII Eastern Front Combat; it doesn't work well for the rest of WWII; or for the higher and faster jet aircraft postwar.

 

6500m, or 21,325 feet as normal works quite well I've found in my missions.

You've just reinvented the wheel....LOL

 

 

 

Actually, it should have been in the knowledge base, as it's something we've been playing with for the last three years or so. It does have a few drawbacks, however, and it's not too accurate in WoV (with the exception of the B-52s and possibly radar/loran bombing by F-4s and '105s).

[Murphy'S 15]

we should be able to set altitudes by planes or by types planes (bombers, fighters, cas or whatever)

 

it would a cool feature
