Title: Aircraft Ceilings
Post by: LCADolby on April 30, 2020, 01:09:21 PM

B17 set witnessed at 32k+ is this a bug?
I see 24k on the paperwork.

What paperwork are you referencing?

Clearly mine is wrong, or a wrong variant

Don't be offended. I was wondering about your source.

As far as seeing B-17s in the MA at above 30k, as long as players fly 'solo' buff formations with no escort there, it'll happen. May even happen in larger groups with fighter escort (but less likely considering that's probably a mission that would like at least some opposition).

Practical limitations of the Norden bombsight would be another thing, however, and I'm not really sure how HT could model such.

Sounds like a Ford wiring job to me.
