Ralzakark -> Air War Issues - Altitude afffects (3/28/2016 11:24:37 AM)

I’ve been playing around with the strategic air war, especially the night campaign as it is the one that interests me the most. There are a number of issues I have seen. The first is the loss rate for Mosquito bombers which are shot down with depressing regularity, in far, far greater numbers than historically.
Here is an example from a test I ran. No FOW, route planned to avoid all flak so that no aircraft would be damaged by AA fire. Three aircraft lost in this one combat alone.
So my question is this – given the Mosquitos were flying at 37,000 feet and the service ceiling for both types of interceptor shown here is 29,530 feet, how did they manage to shoot any down at all? Does altitude have any affect on air combat?
