If you look at it some time, the farthe back you get from the front line, the thicker it gets. Also, the higher you are, the more effective it becomes.

It keeps guys like me that fly 30,000 ft B17 runs to your rearline factories from doing pinpoint bombing.

Hope your tantrum ends soon.

The Knights, Rooks and Bish have not signed Kyoto, and all their factories are non regulated coal burning.

Gotta agree with GHI here.  In real life, a pacific based P-47 squadron CO said that you could see down through it better than you could see up through it.  I can't stand it when I'm cruising around 15-18...

When the girlfriend's gone and there's no school on a rainy day without the squaddies, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I generally hit the Bishop troop and ammo factories. So if you see a box of B17s over one at 30k, you can bet it's me. :D
