I also love the depth of Sim mode, but, most dogfights and team battles end about 10 feet off the ground. Now correct me if I'm wrong, in every account of WWII air combat that I've read (a lot) they all repeat the same mantra.. Altitude, Altitude, Altitude... If sim mode is sooo realistic why is everyone flying sooo bloody low? I'll tell you why.. because it's not realistic. There are loads of technical posts on here about turn radius and rate of climb and so on but it's all made totally irrelevant because everyone's hiding down near the ground. None of these planes were designed to fight at such a low level.

Like I said, I love the feel of sim mode and like playing it.

That said I'm looking forward to the tourney because I believe that it will actually be fought in the sky.

The sim games go low because the ground provides us with cover, somewhere to hide. Makes it hard for the enemy to see you. Yet if we play with cloud cover on the fights are at a medium altitude using clouds for cover or hit and run.
