With the current state of the game and thanks to the recent IRIAF F-14 event, 12.3 matches are filled with Fakour-90 and AIM-54 spammers and the safest option to counter them is to fly low to the ground
But for some reason some genius at Gaijin thought screwing the ground maps wasn’t enough and decided to cover the entirety of surface of some of the hilly air maps like the mysterious valley with fog/clouds and you have 2 options now: to fly low and can’t see shit and crash or to fly above the clouds and get a fox 3 missile to the face
Who the hell thought covering the surface of these maps with fogs/clouds was a good idea?

Enable Barometric and Radar altitude indicator. But I agree, the weather system is pretty badly implemented.
There are a lot of areas with no clouds at all, you can use them
It can work on maps like sinai where the terrain is almost flat and you wont fly into a sudden 500 meters tall hill out of nowhere
Maps like the mysterious valley need full vision
The spawn section (when in air spawn) is covered in clouds and they continue all the way till the middle of the map
This is ridiculous. Last match 3 ppl crashed because of this. Radar alt doesn’t do anything for the mountains since it tells you whats below not whats in front. Flying at 300m to then hit a cliff face is the dumbest map design. Gaijin needs to fix this.

Now you know why the standard GPWS got replaced by EGPWS on all airliners
What on earth is going on? low level clouds have completely taken over the MM.
