Just a couple of suggestions for the next update.

1.) Armor:
It doesn't take much to aggravate the new destroyers. It's sitting on the deck of the beast getting ready to take off only to get blasted to bits because you accidentally press space bar. Which is why I'm suggesting armor! I'm thinking something simple like a box under each body/wing assembly settings panel that lets you armor only the bottom half, only the top half, or the whole assembly. While armor would add weight to the aircraft (15% more for only half armor and 25% for the whole thing), each armored panel could take 2 or 3 hits before breaking away, Armored panels could be represented by rivets appearing on the portions that have been fortified.

2.) Disable Sams:
The hail of bullets coming from deck guns on the destroyers are already hard enough to get through. But if you're trying to do a WWII style strafing run, having to deal with the sams too is just obnoxious. Which is why I'm suggesting a "disable sams" check box under the game settings panel.
