Dont almost all the planes perform better at higher altitude? I believe both spit and 109 have best performance around 6000-7000 meters.
Is it really noticable? since all the dogfight rarely exeed 3000ft..

I know some planes do better than others at very high altitudes, but very high altitudes, are dont really apply to the BOP gameplay.

But like I said, im no expert you tell me . this is just how I see it

lol Seraph, you've made my descriptions sound so much nicer with your edits. I'll probably put some more bombers guides up tomorrow if no one beats me to it.

Hehe, I try to make it an easy read. Good part on the Po though, I think I just copy/pasted that. Hit the nail right on the head with that one.
I wonder when the first B-17 fanboy or hater comes... it'll be either: I frikkin hate this thing the payload is cheating blabla, or 'This thing is amazing, I love it so much, although it's armor is made of papier maché.' We'll see.

Although its not conclusive proof, I'm pretty sure the Yak had a big advantage at low level and the 109 being at higher altitude improved its ability to dogfight.
I agree. It's been edited in as a side note in the general description. Thanks.

I wonder if the original poster has actually looked at the list already .

Noo, I have to bump it . Too proud of our list to let it be buried already though.. I'd still like to see more contributions.

And you are correct, the Yak-3 (any Yak in BoP for that matter) should be flown at 5,000ft or below. Whoever it was you were flying against was an idiot to fly up and try to get you. First, he burned off speed doing so, and since he was higher up wouldn't have been as good in maneuverability.
