On October 13th, 1775, at the very beginning of the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress passed a resolution to create a Navy whose goal was to attack British ships near the American coastline. This first fleet was disbanded after the war, but the date remained in history, and now, while the US Navy is the largest in the entire world, it celebrates its birthday on October 13th.

From October 13th (12:00 GMT) until October 17th (07:00 GMT)

Play 3 battles using US navy (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Famous Ships: USS Constitution” decal.

On September 15th, 1940, the Luftwaffe performed its largest air attack on Great Britain, wanting to destroy the Royal Air Force. The Germans sent 620 fighters and 500 bombers to London, hoping to draw out and defeat the RAF. And yet RAF pilots held off and in the end downed twice as many enemy aircraft as the Luftwaffe did. Having failed in the sky, Germany scrapped its plans of invading the UK.

General consensus seems to be that the D-12 is better at "extreme" altitudes than the D-9... A lot of people basically just say to pick whichever one has the armament that you prefer.

IIRC, the MG131 has similar enough/exactly the same trajectories as the MG151/20, so you don't have MiG-15 issues, even though the D-9 has a mixed 13/20mm armament.
For the D-12, with the 20/30 mixed armament, you can/will have "Straddling" issues where the 20's will "lead your target" and the 30's will "trail" your target, and nothing will actually hit your intended target.

My vote is D-9 & keep moving up the tree without the 12.

Golden Bay is a new location for naval and aircraft battles, which is coming in the Drone Age major update!

A narrow strait between a bay and the open ocean becomes a new arena for naval and aircraft clashes! Boats and patrol ships glide in the labyrinth of cargo ships and oil tankers, huddling in the bay after the firefight begins. Meanwhile, big ships are rushing the bay from the sea, leaving a majestic giant suspension bridge behind.

The new location, Golden Bay, was created based on the coastal features of the San-Francisco area with a picturesque view of the bridge over the straits. The land part of the location was inspired by the green hills and rocks to the East of the bay.

There’s something for everyone, whether you prefer ships, tanks, or aircraft!
