This has been a issue since before the 49ers were a squad...your not that important. The reason it's brought up now with your mission is because A. B29s and B. You guys have been talking about it for weeks and you Gamed the Game instead of running a real mission

If you're going to call that gaming the game how about you call out people who go off the map every day in the MA instead of whining about it on the forums. I bet you don't say anything to your countrymen who go off the map huh?


It was a real mission, You should've been there instead of whining on the forums. It's amazing what you miss when you're crying about the game rather than playing it.

Simple solution a 5K a minute downdraft in all airspace off the map.  That way if you accidentally cross you can recover and if you run off the map you just crash.

Have an automatic warning when approaching the edge:

  SYSTEM: You are about to go off map.  Your plane will spontaneously combust like Spinal Tap's drummer.

In some other games the off map issue is handled by a timer. The player gets a warning message that he should return into the boundaries within 30 (whatever number) seconds or go boom.

The player can go in and out reseting the timer but he can't really fly far off the edge. In AH flying across the edge in & out will only give away your position more accurately.

Not necessary.   


Build a 45 degree angle wall up to 100K feet. 

Done.

On some maps guns don't do any damage and/or the arrow doesn't indicate anyone is off map. 

In thinking about it, I agree this should be fixored.

On one map, some of the strats are right next to the border of the map and some fields are also with their dar rings extending out into the off map regions.  Those issues would need to be resolved, because bombers extend from target drops at altitude and sometimes go off map to make a turn back to target.

Remember Dar bars never existed in WWII. Just saying.
Um, you sure about that ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_Home

You also only got one life. Are you advocating that in the game as well?
