Question. Where is it written that air combat must take place at 30,000 feet?
From what I understand, almost all the Eastern Front and Pacific front carrier aircraft all fought at or around 10,000 feet.
The 30,000 feet combat was only because the USAAF bombers were flying at that altitude to try and stay safe from German fighters.
I know this may be unpleasant to think of, but untill we get groups of bombers doing the war winning, we won't see much high alt flying. Even then over half the people online couldn't give a rip about winning the war, they just want to shoot another fighter down in exciting air to air engagments.
