Diversity is the spice of life. Same applies to Aces High.
The majority of air combat in Aces High occurs at about 5,000 feet. This altitude favors certain aircraft, and certain styles of fighting. Now with a heavy bomber airstart of 20,000 feet (from rear bases only of course), a new element would be added to AH-high altitude combat.
The bomber squadron I was previously in used to do many high altitude raids. It sure was a pain in the butt to climb for 45-60 minutes in a B17 while maintaining a close formation. But one of the reasons I was in a squadron was because I was tired of the tedious 5k furballs that are the norm.
Heres my plea: Give airstarts a chance. Maybe just for one tour. Bombers will become more common, high altitude fighting will add a new challenge, and ETO American planes will have their chance to shine. I know some people may be reluctant to allow air starts because their hunk-of-junk La7s, N1k2s, and other low altitude garbage planes won't fair so well.
