Please add a large downdraft at 30k

Please add a large downdraft at 30k to keep bombers at reasonable interception alts for prop planes.

[Spikes]

So what would fighters do? 

[waystin2]

So what would fighters do? 

Well they would bounce off the same downdraft wouldn't they? 

[Vraciu]

Well they would bounce off the same downdraft wouldn't they? 

And drive through dead six to get blasted. 

[bgoldy]

Please do this lol no more rocket ships!

[Zoney]

Absolutely not.

Let them take all day to get up there.  With the right aircraft and the right set of skills that means they just have farther to fall before they hit the ground.

Make an Icaros layer - if you fly too high your wings melt.

And drive through dead six to get blasted.

Exactly.  The fraidy-cat astronauts will be safer than ever before at 29,990 ft . 



A better idea would be to decrease bombing accuracy as the altitude goes up. 

Make bombs have an incrementally greater dispersal for every 1k in altitude, starting at 15k.  That's assuming there is a dispersal rate and if there isn't, there should be.

15k = 90% of current dispersal rate
16k = 85%
17k = 80%

... and so on.

Chem trails made below 30,000' just aren't worth making.

I think the OP should just swallow his prize and work to improve his high altitude fighting.

It's pride Bob.  And I have no lack of high altitude fight skills.  Work to improve your typing skills Sir!

I like this.  Another thought I had was placing heavy cloud layers at 25k above all strats.

You made a couple of valid points there.

Force manual calibration above 20k?

An alt cap will just make them safer.
