it's easy to say "just fly at 5k and do BnZs" but actually flying at 5k means you see nothing beyond 2k underneath you.. so, do BnZs on.. what?!! thin air, and just a thin hope there's something underneath you?

To be honest I don't have this problem. I did in the beginning (readjusting from old Il-2) but the longer I played, the less difficult it was. It is possible to spot contacts from 4-5k. It's not easy but I don't think it is supposed to be.

From my experience on atag for example, there is quite a few red players at 20k.

True...

Robo I don't know what your doing to be able to spot aircraft 4,5k underneath you which is what were saying and there isn't quite a few reds flying at high altitude at any one time, no way and I fly primetime European

And regardless no point flying high n fast a solid trate of the 109 n 190 as spits n hurris can now fly considerably higher?

I don't know, I just see contacts down below. Not sure if as low as 4,5km underneath but certainly more than 2 km. Often the con is too low to bother. Easier over water than over the land of course, but possible.

I don't know I always meet quite a few friendly contacts at alt.

That is true and a massive issue of this sim imho, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that, they won't touch the FMs until the sequel. I haven't tested the new patch yet, what is the top ceiling of the 109 - still 7,4km?
