OK, so I read the patch info, but still need some more information on some of the patch fixes/enhancements.

What is the health symbol that appears on my screen sometimes when running around? I figured out that the skull and crossbones on the red background indicates friendly land mines, but can't seem to place this one.

Anyone else think that EA tweaked the planes up too much now? I played on a server last night, and the planes were harder to shoot down and did way more damage - especially way more SPLASH damage.

The patch notes have a comment on using the bayonet. I have never even seen the bayonet - how can I use one, and is it only on Road to Rome maps?

Anyone else think that the new russian machine gun looks like it has a hubcap strapped to the top of it? I swear when I look at that thing I want to tilt it and deflect bullets with it like a buckler!

Well the damage you could do to a plane with fixed machine guns was kind of stupid anyway. Even worse in desert combat when a good 20 shot burst would take down a warthog:D

Yeah, but with the tank mounted MG's you used to be able to shoot down a plane in a reasonable amount of time - would still take like 100 shots or more. Now it takes forever.
