more 38's
that russian twin engined fighter tu-2 (like a 110)  
B25H (w/ the 75 mm tank gun)


Tu-2

The Tu-2 was the USSR's third (historically) important twin-engined bomber (after the Il-4 and Pe-2), and brought A.N.Tupolev back into favor after a period of detention.
Heavy armament, powerful engines and incredible construction strength allowed the crew after dropping bombs to turn back and engage... enemy fighters.
Tu-2 was a mid-wing monoplane with large bomb bay under the wing and twin tails. Production aircraft differed slightly from each other by nose section shape and size, except long-range versions (those had noticeably larger wing and tail surfaces). Standard crew included pilot (in the front cockpit), navigator (behind him), gunner and radio operator/gunner in rear cockpit behind the wing. Long-range variants sometimes had crew of five, in some missions crew was cut to 2-3.
Bomb load was 1000kg inside the fuselage and 1000kg externally. Tu-2 was often used in overload configuration, carrying up to 4000kg of bombs. Maximum bomb caliber - 1000kg.
Normal armament included pair of 20mm ShVAK cannons in the wing roots and 3...5 7.62mm ShKAS in three (navigator, gunner, operator/gunner) defensive positions. Those were replaced by heavy 12.7mm UBT machineguns. Optional RS-132 launchers could be carried under the wing (up to 10). In later modifications (including the most built) those launchers were deleted.

If we did, the armor's pretty thin -- all it takes to get those turrets down is a moderately loud belch....    ;)

To be honest, I havent manned turrets in 2.01. The times I've CAP defended carriers, one of my very favorite AH activities, the 5"ers were down already and the fun ended when a lone P38 dumped entire load on the deck.

I really dont know why anyone bothers to up a buff against a carrier anymore.

Was Tu-2 used in r/l with or without V-shaped 3-bomber formation?
