Look, this simulator is designed to SIMULATE the majority of aerial combat during WW2. Since this started off simulating battles on the ostfront, which were generally low level, there was no need for modelling high altitude combat.

Even with later expansions and in line with the majority of historical combat, fighting usually occured at no more than 7000m, sometimes a bit higher. There are very few instances where combat occured above 10000m.

It would be good if this could be expanded, but the simulator was not designed for it. And really, if you want to fly high powered jets above 10000m, this isn't the sim for you. This was a ww2 sim designed to simulate the majority of WW2 combat and I think it does a pretty good job at it.

I will have to disagree. WW II aerial combat took place at high altitudes in the Western theater of operation mostly b/w 6,000M as far back as the Battle of Britain; and 25,000 ft was preferred bombing altitude for the Norton bombsight all the US level bombers used and this is over 7000M.

Now if you had said the game was designed for the Eastern front where most combat took place at relatively lower altiudes because of the emphasis on supporting the ground troops, I would agree with you.

That said - the fact that we see the curvature of the earth at 5000M is just ridiculous - makes you even wonder if anyone on that design team has actually been in an aircraft.
