You should have said "Brewster" instead of He 111... :devil

P39D is ok. P39Q is better.... both great on the deck but climb like a jug. The 37mm takes a bit of getting used to, but makes a nice mess of anything you hit. The 80th had about 12 of them up for a couple of hours reaking havoc.

anything on the rocket artillery??
-
I used the 'up-armored' staff car on a factory and discovered the lower angled rockets are fair at taking down targets. If you are too close the blast can hit you too but it didnt kill me the one time it happened. You can also carry gv supps but even if you get a high percentage of hits and resupp four times its not enough to take much down. Im not sure the 45 degree setup could be used to hit aircraft but the thought did occur. The quad 20s of the Whirby though are something you have to see to believe. I think it will have a new eny soon and eventually get perked. Its just way too brutal.

39= "Meh" It's kinda a hybrid. Cross between the pony and a turnfighter. It's got pretty bad speed imo, and has less-than-fantastic handling. I can outmanuver, and outspeed it in the Spits. I'm sure they'll eventually find their niche amongst the great planes of AH and WW2. But to be fair to the 39, it does have AWESOME armor. I had to empty 400 into it before it went down, with cannons.
Wirlesomethinruther= :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock Fantastical I hear.
109= Got new cockpit.
That's all I know.

And don't forget to mention the new carrier group guns.
A whole bunch of guns added to the carrier group. Attacking CVs has become quite the problem now. I couldn't get close enough to even fire cannon on the fleet, yesterday, much less drop bombs. I did manage to fire a few torpedoes from PT boats before they blasted me, though.
Haven't played on the CV side of the battle since the upgrade, so looking to see how that will feel.
It will be interesting to see if any new anti- carrier strategies develop.
