Just how high can you go in AH?
-
is it 50k? I forgot, did it looong ago when we use to run Lancaster raids on hq...
-
I think I've seen screenshots of people going to 90k+ I may be wrong though. It was in a 163.
-
Icepac will be along shortly...

:neener:

airspawn to 100k :D

I splatted against the ceiling at over mach 1 once. I was in a claw. Unfortunately I don't have film, therefore it never happened. I was so disappointed last Halloween not to try a repeat because of server issues.
-
icepac, but don't ask him to show you a film :]
-
I have a screenshot somewhere ,,in a Claw,,, at 117 k and change
Just not real sure where!
-
I think we were looking for altitude record in the MA in a WWII aircraft... anyone?
-
Link to old thread. I was right 117k

As far WW2 birds. I think I've had a 163 around 96k. But I can't remember for sure

^this
I think the record with props in AH that I've heard is like 47k. But the 163, if managed properly, wouldn't surprise me to go stratospheric.

Sounds about right. I think it was a 152 that got up that high, but honestly cant recall.
-
Maybe we should start setting records by plane?

There was a BBs challenge once as to how high you could get in a Me163. Offline I was able to reach somewhere over 95K when my entire plane dissapeared from my view.
The trick in the 163 at that alt is that it's both stalling from lack of airflow and shuddering from high speed so you have to walk a tightrope to keep it climbing.
Also, at 90K the AH terrain dissapeared meaning instruments only then, as I said, at about 95K the entire cockpit dissapeared.
I was, however, able to keep control, descend and land which was also part of the challenge.

:rofl no need to read any further

Mine was also simular in the Claw , I climbed so high that the map looked like a tiny dot. Wish we could have another claw night that was alot of fun.

I went AFK in a ta152, came back and was at 40+ k

Such a cute face :x

Highest I've even been able to get was 115K in a DR.1 with wind assist...

In crabbyland? :D

Icepac claims to have flown a 163 to 90k

Icepac claims to have flown a 163 to 90k
And BE stated he got 95k, so icepacs claim is untrue?
-
one of the times I shot midway down when he was flying under the php handle he was afk at 43,500 in a spit16 and I was in the 152. And yes.. I have film.

Why were you that high :lol
-
let the rules be:
- no rocket engine, jets are allowed
- no vertical wind
- no airspawn
-

Was AFK in a D11 and wound up over 40k. Figured I'd find the limit. With full ammo, this was about as high as it was gonna go:

Maybe with WEP, you could squeeze a little bit more.

I did get the 163 up to 100k in the main arena the other day but it was taking advantage of a bug during a disco that gave you full fuel when you returned so it doesn't really count.
It cost me 150 perks but watching the 163s that ran away after upping to discover a 163 over thier own HQ instead of bombers and shooting down a p38 before channel 200 lit up was well worth it even if I blew the landing when someone turned the cv on short final.
I didn't realize disco would stop filming so I missed getting the over 100k footage.
Both the AR234 and the A6M3 pics here are also from bugs I discovered and exploited once or twice before sending in film to htc that have since been fixed.
The 163 at 95k was done taking off from a 500 foot elevation field in the training arena but the 1.0 fuel burn does not affect the me163......it's no bug and can be done in the main arena.
I consider that one legit.
If you want records, there should be some requirements concerning which arena and am all for having only main arena or WWI arenas count toward any records.

Stall / VnE in a U2 was something like 8 knots at altitude. Amazing those guys could fly such a fine line!

:uhoh I think its about time some people find some hobbies. . .or a girlfriend. :rolleyes:
-
LOL....I made 1000 bucks two days ago selling crankshafts out of engines I got for free while flying here AFK mostly.
-

It's only a superficial 5k, coincidence that's also about the maximum difference in airfield (starting) altitudes?

As I said, I was offline taking off from the standard NDIsles center island field (sea level).
