ORIGINAL: michaelm Hasn't been any changes for air attacks between k7 and k9. When I have a chance, I'll update the advised table. Here are the combat reports pertaining to the dive bombers appearing to level bomb when set to 16000ft that I referred to. I suppose they could be glide bombing with the attack altitudes not being updated for the report. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Akyab at 54,45 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 26 NM, estimated altitude 20,000 feet.
