@Cpt_Bel_V , it didn’t work, MiG-3s and Yaks climb crazy fast and have way too op armament. :( I sideclimbed too, although I’m currently playing the Swedish B-18A.
I like this idea but most allied fighters can’t climb to that altitude, maybe you can select air spawn as a fighter to escort bombers and if you exit the escort area, you’ll get J out like in ground battles.
Another idea would be not highlighting bombers. In ground realistic battles, aircrafts aren’t highlighted, this makes them harder to spot and if you’re a bomber and you maintain or climb, you’ll look like a spec of dust and this might increase survivability.
