Status: offline 		What are the best altitude settings for which missions and pilot skill?

I'm quite new to this game and am only starting to experiment, however I am involved in a few pbem games that take up all my available time so I'm forced to use the efault alt settings.

advice is most welcome.

Strat..

Status: offline 		I fly my D3A's and B5N's at 15000 feet and my A6M2's at 18000. Since Dive bombers and torpedo bombers take flak twice ( once at their altitude and once at 500 or 200 feet for DB or TB ) it makes no sense to put them low.

Status: offline 		That sounds like good advice to me. What about for medium bombers/heavy bombers, especially when they are attacking airfields/ground/ports?

Status: offline 		I use my heavy bombers (as U.S.) only for strategic bombing.
I set them on an altitude level where flak damaged is reduced on minimal (e.g. 20 000 - 25 000 ft). I don´t care abaout interceptors since I use big wings (4 - 6 squadrons), which can defend themselves.
I don´t hope for one big attack but count on continous damgage and attention the opponent is forced to.

Status: offline 		My recon heavy bombers fly at 12k or 20k altitude, depending on whether enemy flak and/or CAP are located at the destination. I assume that altitude has an impact on the quality of recon and the ability of locating the target during poor weather ... I'll need to test this assumption, though.
