What's you Alt. record in BoS / BoM / BoK ?

[Guest deleted@50488]

What aircraft, load, time to get there if you recall ?...

 

How controllable was it at that altitude ?

 

How were the meteo conditions ?  Winter / Autumn / Summer ?  Temperature ?

 

What IAS did you reach at that altitude ?

I am pretty sure that the mig is the plane that can get up the highest. never tried it myself though

We once chased a 109 (no idea what kind) up to 9km up in our Yak-1bs... at that point the plane was barely controllable. The 109 was still higher than us, but clearly struggling as well. Going back down to reasonable altitudes was actually quite fun.

My highest kill was at 7km in my Yak. That was fun and hard to control because I had forgotten to change gears. The highest I've gone was around 9km in a Spitfire (I zoned out while climbing behind friendly lines) and the best pictures I have from a high altitude flight was when I hauled my Mig to around 8km up.

highest Dogfight was at 10.000m with MiG3 vs Bf 109 F4. I couldn't outperform with my engine powers the F4 at that alt.

Got to over 12k in a Merlin 46 spit starting with 100% fuel on the *Autumn Moscow map. It was controllable but IAS was around 145mph max and AOA was huge. I Attacked a 109 from nearly 11k in a MiG 3 once but because I am an awful shot I missed and began a long dogfight down to 6k, where I eventually got him, more through luck than judgement. 

 

Edit actually must've been winter as I cannot quite get to 12000m on kuban Autumn when reattempting. I can hold it at 11500 and have to zoom up to 11950m

Went up in a Bf109 F-4 last week to 10,400m. Still had good control, think the map was autumn in Kuban.

I zoomed up to 7000m before the 109 E couldn't climb anymore.

Then I bailed to see how long it'd take for the pilot to reach the ground. It took at least an hour iirc.
