Don't be silly.  The Earth is flat.  Just look at how it's modeled in AH for proof.

Go high enough (alt 30k+) and you'll see it's curved.

Well dang it,...  :cry and to think all these years I thought the AH physics was right.  This needs to go to the top of the list for all AH gaminess fixes!!

Question is:  If you had enough fuel and fly off of one end of the map... will you come back, after enough time has passed, and return on the other side of the map?

Well, that's a silly question.  Everyone knows because the world is flat you'd fly off the edge into oblivion!!   :joystick:  (You see, we've actually tested this in AH - called EOW or edge-of-the-world tactics, another strange but true WW2 tale.).

And just in case people doubt the earth is flat, I have primary source charts to prove it:

Couldn't possibly be a round cloud.  Nope.  You can see the entire planet from 90k, it just happens to be cloudy that day                    everywhere

No G-suits in WWII Im afraid Tyrannis, plus the P-51 was faster, making it more demanding on the pilot.

Can't leave out the USN ice cream ships, considered by sailors to be one of the most important ships in the fleet.

ack-ack

Reminds me of the story about the USS Kidd DD 661.

Quote
It was early on at this point in her career when she picked up the nickname that would become her trademark. Taking their mascot pirate to heart, crew members began to "ransom" rescued pilots for ice cream mix and other delicacies from their comrades aboard aircraft carriers so that her reputation grew as the "Pirate of the Pacific." Other destroyers conducted this practice, but KIDD did so with a certain flair. The Pirates were one of the first "tin cans"—destroyers—to have their very own ice cream machine, something usually reserved for the larger vessels of the fleet
