Update.:Whats my service ceiling in this thing, just hit 30,000 feet.
Update.:Somehow I just crashed, maybe broke up because I was up too high? Wish I got a screen-shot when i was 30k up :P Whats the best plane for flying that high?

It's fun doing HQ raids in the MA with B17's at 32k.
Just you, your 2 drones, and 4 other b17 formations that are part of your squad.
1 hour later, you land with 1 plane left, full of holes and each squaddie lands kills with you.
Here's a pic of us climbing out.

Here's a 25k mission in lancasters to HQ.

How high can this p-47 go now? i'm 800 short of 20,00 ft. and I wanna hit 40
-
26,500 ft up, think I'll hit 40?
Update: Stuck at 37,700
-
No, you wont reach 40k. When you get to 39,995, you will mysteriously and unexpectedly start flaming and go into a flat dive. You will try to bail out, but you catch fire in the proccess. After you do get out of the flaming plane, your flaming brain realizes you forgot your parachute. By then, the plane is to far away, and you think about what to do. While your thinking, you will hit the ground with a loud *SPLAT* and all thats left of you will be a big pile of smoking jelly.
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Pretty sure there isnt a plane in AH that can reach 40k. Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
:D 40,000 feet :D :cool: Wikipedia says the service ceiling for them is 43k but I'm going push it to 45 then land.

^ Panel showing my altitude, Couldn't make it to 41,000, i'll try in a different plane.

Outside the window at 40,000 :D see the curve? :D :cool:
Of course, i had to go straight down and see how fast i can take this thing, almost didn't pull up in time, made a weird noise on the way down, some serious rattling, almost thought it was gunna break apart. Sure it looks smooth but it was crazy as hell inside. (Below). Cut the engine when i leveled off (Also below).

Landing was messed up, floated too long and messed up my engine on touchdown. i messed it up on an earlier flight amongst the trees that never happened in my P-51 :p maybe propellers are just that long?

I like how up at 40,000ft your losing alt as indicated by climb meter, but elevators are fully trimed up and u have a notch of flaps outs... I myself am GOnna test this but with my Bird this time.. :D
-
eh....had a 163 up to 67,900 ft once. Straight climb from base at sea level.
The world is indeed round.

:O:O :O :O Wow.
Just got a ME262 to 700mph going straight down from 21,000 ft, course i didn't live.
Didn't know the 163 was such a lil rocket. flying it now, always thought it was slow but when i saw that it had a landing skid i changed my mind :P, this oughta get me past the altimeter limit :D
-
Ran out of fuel, wheres unlimited fuel when you need it? :D I dropped, hit probably 650 mph now im gliding to the nearest airport at 200 mph :P

I got a 163 up to 90,000 and made a mach 1.12 dive :aok
-
i did that in a lancaster, i hit 700mph the wings broke off then the weirdest thing happended the plane body leved out.
p51srule:aok
-
47.5 and climbing at a little under 200FPM when ran out of gas, next time i'll take 100%. The pic was taken at max alt shortly after engines quit. i bet i could make 50K+

you guys want to see something really funny?
go to the Training Arena, and go to field A3.
now select an SBD or a D3A from the hanger with 25% fuel and roll onto one of the runways.
if you can take off and get one of those planes in the air without any damage, ill pay your subscription for 3 months.
:eek:
-
We cant go to the TA, we already DON'T have subscriptions!
(Speaking on account of main body of H2Hers)

Anyone can do it offline.
Do it in the MA and then you have something, unless you dont have a paying subscription (2 week trial doesnt apply)

You sparked my interest so I went offline to see if I could do it. I was only able to make it to about 45k before running out of go juice. I know nothing about 163's and fly them even less so how did ya make it that high?
-
Well, if its offline, you can have unlimited fuel, and set the WIND, thats right, WIND to straight up(?) or NE at max speed, so you just zoom up. Me and my bud F2 were messing around with wind, we got to almost 100k, with a mach 1.12 dive.:aok
-
didnt think about changing the arena settings. 100K :O im going to have to give that a shot. thx
-
Make sure when you get to your desired alt, you turn off the wind.
:aok
-
Think I'll see how high I can get my 51D to go :D
-
I did it in the TA a couple years ago, just messing around. I took off from a '0' alt field, no wind, just a full bag of gas. The trick is to get it climbing at it's best rate of climb (it's around 200mph for the most part IIRC).
If you want to get higher take off from a field with higher elevation. But remember that the higher you climb the lower your climb rate is going to be.
Also, if I remember right, I got rid of my ammo before taking off. (less weight).
cheers,
RTR
