They wouldn't need to do a P-70 to get the Hispanos. One of the first batches of A-20Gs had 4 20mms in the nose. Most of these were given to the Soviets under lend lease. HTC could add it as a (perked?) armament option to the G.

Besides, the P-70 is less powerful than the G, lacks the turret, has a belly pack that would add drag and it couldn't carry bombs.

I definately agree that the A26 would be an awesome addition.. I'm really starting to like the A20, and I could only imagine the 26..

Drooooooolllls..

I believed they were used during the vietnam war too (early vietnam)

Actually it was an upgrade to the Douglas A-20 Havoc and during WWII carried the A for attack designator but was changed to the "B-26" Invader during Korea and Vietnam. Loved the heck out of it in AirWarrior. Dump 75% of he ammo after takeoff and carry no bombs and you had one heck of a heavy fighter.

All the Best...
