Flight altitude for an optimal attack

[schneider-huerth]

My question: if I have one
Attack with a dive bomber, a torpedo attack with Avenger or a bomb attack with BF 17, which attack height is optimal in each case?

I am assuming Vanilla here since you havent stated your using any mod....

The starting altitude is fine for dive bombers...

Level bombing with a lvl bomber is a bit harder to explain...
BB's are a big target easy to hit however their flak has long range also...
for these guys I tend to drop at 8800
CA's are a smaller target I tend to drop at 4800
CL's around 3800
DD's I don't level bomb.... To small very unlikely to hit....

The Torpedo bombers should manage their own altitude I think they prefer 200...
With torpedo bombers try to avoid going faster then the speed you start the engagement with as you will have torps that run infront of the target and miss as your starting speed is your optimum speed for the ordinance your carrying...

Many thanks for your help.
Your guess that I don't have a mod was correct.

Please note also that torpedo bombing is a little bugged rn, the attack ai for the ijn air-dropped torpedos doesnt account for the actual torpedo speed, so if youre using kates or bettys set your speed to like 150 or something in order to get better hits
