Armaments
Offensive armament
The B-239 (Sweden) is armed with:
- 2 x 12.7 mm LKk/42 machine guns, nose-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm LKk/42 machine guns, wing-mounted (400 rpg = 800 total)
Usage in battles
You are pretty manoeuvrable and can win a dogfight against most enemies, the exception being Spitfires and Japanese single engine fighters. Be wary of you poor energy retention though, this leads you to gain an advantage in the first couple of turns in your dogfight but you should try to avoid longer fights, by any means. You can use flaps to get the maximal turn rate possible. You can also climb at the beginning of a match, get to 3-4 km while climbing at 220 km/h IAS. Once you see enemy fighters, level out and stay above 280-300 km/h, this ensures you can at least follow one or two turns, to get a good shot in. If this fails, dive away and reposition.
