8000m altitude limit?

[ATAG_Doc]

How many folks in this community have experience flying the Emil during WWII? I read a handful of people throwing out the "in the real world" combo of words I am just curious what qualifies their words to be weighted more than say the devs.
Thanks for your time and we eagerly await your reply.

Presumably because we usually see the 109 service ceiling described as (approx.) 36,000-39,000ft. in some reference materials so we hope to achieve that in-game.

I try a lot of times and with the Spitfire any type never reached above 28000 ft.
A bug or the creators of the game suppose you have an old plane with less power left in the engine!

even with low fuel mix at high altitude?

Yes and rpm at 2/3.
The real service celling of a Hurricane is 34.200 feet.
The Spitfire MK IA 31.900 feet the MK IIA 32.800 feet. Rate of climb initial 2530 feet/min. and 2600 feet/min respectively.
For the BF109 E-4 initial climb are 3.100 feet/min and service celling 36000 feet.
I do not know if all Hurricanes or Spitfire where capable of getting to this altitude? Planes are like cars some are faster than other for no special and objective reasons!
The fighting altitude over France in 1940 is 3000 meters, over the British isles it seems more 6000 meters. Naturalyy it depens of the target and type of plane!

Basically any publication that's ever been written about the 109 mentions its service ceiling.

What we see in CoD is simply not correct.

[Insuber]

And basically no publication mentions 8000 m as the ceiling of 109's or Spitfires.

[hiro]

the ceiling (and the bar) goes up the closer we get to the late war scenarios.

[esmiol]

with the FMB the higher you can config is 10.000meters.

but there are not a invisible wall on the floor

it is just that no plan in the game are able to fly so high.
