Hi all,

I posted this question already on the Early Access forum but I haven't gotten a response...

I've flown through the tutorial campaign missions, and now a couple more with difficulty set to Expert.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but is there a way to tell what the prescribed altitude is for the campaign waypoints when playing on Expert?



I've had issues actually finding any bombers in the intercept missions and I have a hunch it's because I'm flying too low or too high.



On Normal, the waypoints float in the sky so there's no question of altitude...



Any tips?



Thanks in advance...

You need to be up at 4000m or higher. But you're right, it would be good to include an indication of height in the briefing.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm guessing you'd likely find He-111's up at 4000m, but what if you're playing as Germans, wouldn't you expect the il2's to be closer to the dirt?

Have you seen any? All I ever get are He-111s if I fly as the Soviets or Pe-2s if I fly as the Germans. I've not yet seen Stukas or Sturmoviks as targets on an intercept mission.

You can get to the map by hitting 'o' for objectives.

And no I've not seen anything at all so far, but I gather it was because I was much too low.

Hopefully they eventually implement Altitude recommendations in the map UI.
