I have no problem destroying a SM79 with a nice frontal or semi-frontal attack with pre war planes. The engines are quite vulnerable and catch fire easily, besides the front is not defended. Only the tediousness of flying past and making another pass is a bit annoying with the slow pre-war birds.
But yes, it's a flying tank. Nice test I used in QMB: put 16 Ace I16's against the SM79 and after that the HE111. Big difference in time, the crew in the HE111 gets slaughtered while every crewmember in the SM79 seems to have Borg-like nanoprobe armor!
