Air resupply point altitude

Anyone one else noticed these have been very high sometimes lately?

I have had a couple where I’ve had to be about 900 to get the resup, vs usually 3-400 will do.

I think it’s just the distance, for instance on LF there is no marker, and it seems to rearm at any altitude as long as you go the distance. When you bring up the map and put the yellow market on it, it will put it on the ground and you can fly low and still rearm at it, I’m pretty sure you rearm at any altitude. But I will test it to make sure.

But you are right it seems higher on the HUD.

No - I’ve flown under it and not been rearmed - watching teh distance tick down to about 150 at an altitude of about 500, then start increasing again

You’re probably right, I’ll check it.

It’s just horizontal distance, you don’t actually need to fly up to it to re-supply, if you’re under it it will still re-supply you

I have noticed though sometimes when “re-supplying” the re-supply sound plays, but I don’t get re-supplied…

Not on every map, on some maps you actually need to be at 700-900 meters for it to resupply you. Berlin’s Hermann Goering Strasse is one of them, if memory serves.

i’ve been only 80 on the altitude chart meter thing and i still can resupply… perhaps its just the distance horizonatally

Exacly this.

Some maps you have to fly right on the point
Others you can be almost sea level and still resupply.

Dude… I’ll make a bomb run without bombs and be like “I swear I rearmed… am I going crazy?” This makes sense now.

Yes that’s the one I’ve noticed it on a couple of times in conquest games - also had it on thegardens assault game I think, as Soviet.

I don’t think you have to be completely 1:1 with the zone, I’ve been refueled a little under it.

Yes you do not have to hit it head on - however the first time I found this I noticed the distance counting down - to about 150 IIRC - then it started counting UP again!
