We just have to be in the air already. Treat every log in as a SCRAMBLE TO 18,000 FT! Get up as fast as you can and stay there.
Don't go down.
Don't do it.
Intercept bombers by diving down, attacking, and coming back up. Don't setup on their tail and shoot away. Take a quick hit and come back up. You'll gradually lose altitude, but claw as much back as you can with every strike.
Historical performance or otherwise, our CloD Spitfires and Hurricanes do not compete with the 109s on level footing.
100 octane fuel, blah blah blah. We're not going to get it. Better to start trying to figure out ways to compete with the planes we have now than the planes we're never going to have.
So altitude and a wing man who knows what he's doing. Those are the two things we could potentially use to level things up.
Enjoy the Channel while it lasts. Everyone flying now is going to be moving to the Russian front when it comes.
EDIT: As for the graph that points out a Spitfire advantage around 22,000+ ft? I'd love to do some trials when the patch comes and see. It'd be nice if they fixed the dot issue for spotting planes to make flying this high useful for a lot of people (especially those of us without perfect vision).
