Status: offline 		It's good for beefing up a CAP. If you have a squad or 2 of P 40's or hurricanes, maybe some p 39's. If you throw in a few wirriways the combat routine looks at the total number of ac in a CAP not there quality an may decide not to attack. Sort of a paper tiger if you will.

Do we still need fighter bombers to attack barges or can all fighters set to 100 ft do that now?

P39/P400 are better for that as they have a cannon, Wirriways are best used to provide cap at rear area bases, and for ground attack and training until something else better is available.
