I've started to fly again these weeks on ATAG, and:
I saw plenty of red bombers coming high over France from over the channel.
Flying high with 109 (4-5k) means you see nothing on the deck. not even at 1-2k. If you want to pick low targets, you have to either watch flak (which is rendered at longer distance than other things) or have someone fly low and inform you about them.
Actually, flying high is a BIG problem in Il2CoD, as from above 2-3 k you see nothing rendered on the ground, not even those big damn radar antennas, so, you have to actually come low to lock on your target, or dive blindly hoping for the best.
Also, I've constantly flew Stuka over England, at 3-4k, with no one intercepting me or bothering me in any way.
Regarding the flak, it haven't bothered me at all, not even in Stuka. Flak it is not a problem if you know how to fly against it: as soon as you enter a flak area, start using evasive maneuvers (lateral and most importantly vertical waves).
The worst thing about the ATAG atm is that no one coordinates their flights. NO ONE! Hopefully, Banks's DCE will provide a solid backbone for pilots to be tempted to do it!
Salute!
