High-alt bombing
« on: April 07, 2007, 02:32:41 PM »
Yesterday I was on a high-alt bombing run at ~23.5K in a set of Lancs.  I was targeting 3 VB's and a strat target (ammo factory).

Once in the bomb site, even at full zoom, the VB hangers never appeared even though I could make out other details on the field.  At the ammo factory all targets were visible.

I've been able to see the hangers from higher alts than this before, even though they became visible only in the last moments.

Did HTC do something to constrain high-alt bombing within the game or is this a bug?  If it's on purpose I'm saddened by the loss from both a bombing perspective as well as from a hunting perspective with some of the fighters that really perform well at altitudes rarely seen otherwise.

Fortunately, I did take out the hangers but only because I knew precisely where they were from experience.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

What rogerdee said.

I had this problem for the longest time and it made dive bombing in an attack fighter tough.
