Supression
AP Supression recalculated based on realistic shell weight/velocity. Essentially the bigger the shell, and the faster it flies the more supression damage it does.

Spitifre fighters rearmed with 2x20mm and 4x.303
Penalty for shooting at maximum range increased, accuracy at short range (<65%) increased. Accuracy bonus for successive shots increased (out to four). Expect long range engagements to last longer, rewarding flanking and close range engagements.
