You kill a P-47N or FW190 and they usually say you were not playing fair because those two planes do not perform very well at high altitudes.

 :salute

Uhhhhh the P47N is probably the third best high altitude fighter in game.

Wasn't worth the time or effort. Sure I might have killed him but so what? Better to start over somewhere else and offer apologies.

And for the cloud thing a buff pilot has to decide on one (or maybe 2) relevant targets based on fuel status, import, and bombload. If clouds cover target + no support no point.

Maybe next time take your comfort blanket with you.

Heh heh heh, the clouds are timed, so maybe you should ask hi-tech how long clouds last, the timer settings

And on the 7th hour, COAD said, "let there be clouds," and it was sort of good, since it was accompanied by much gnashing of the teeth (but not as much as night time) and wailing cries of, "Why now? Why here? They are at exactly the wrong altitude to block our bombsights!"

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Flying below the clouds is an option I didn't see mentioned.

Sure. That's an obvious option. Just a reminder that cloud cover is at various levels simultaneously in the arena. I think the only way to assure no clouds is to fly at less than 10k (though the arena can accommodate lower levels it doesn't seem to be a common setting). I wouldn't recommend it in low bomber numbers or without fighter escort.

If he were getting attacked he would have appreciated the clouds for the cover they provided..and then whined if they where not thick enough to hide him lol
