the more your climb rate is the less you are likely to be shot down...
climb like a rocket and dive like a stone and you will be safer....
About flying low, this work perhaps for fighter as they fly really fast and are small but
I don't think that such big and "slow" things as an airliner can be anything safe close
to the ground. In reallity they don't do that appart perhaps in area with a lot
of mountain. (and they know the ennemy is in the OTHER valley
Having done some military time myself I know I would have love to see an
ennemy heli or an airliner close to ground, I would even be able to hit it with my
military machine gun. (of course not a war heli but you are not supposed to
make war operations) (of course I would not love to shoot on anyone in reallity
but its a supposition here)
This FSP feature was included remembering some video of humanitary flight
over bosnia, they fly high and dive or climb like mad to stay the less time
possible near ground.
