Exactly.  The Bf110G-2 and Mosquito climb better, accelerate better and are faster than the A-20G.  The A-20G may buy itself some time turning, though this has never been my experience, but in the end a Bf110G-2 or Mosquito flown to their strengths will easily defeat an A-20G.

I've always found that the A-20G was an easy kill and the only times I have been forced to miss my shot by one is when I was going grossly faster than the A-20G.  If my speed is, say 50mph greater, it is an easy shot and the cannons on either the Bf110G-2 or Mosquito rip the A-20G apart in one burst.


Its great that you really like the aircraft you've chosen, but don't let that distort its relative cababilities in your mind.

A20 is fodder, plain and simple. The only planes it can out-manuever are other bombers.

A20 vs 110 is not even a contest.

No, the A20 is not fodder.  It's much like the P40.  9/10 times the person flying the P40 is in there because he's really good at it.

But The same A20 is screwed if the enemy pilot has half of a brain.

Good point here. I enjoy flying the ol P40E( not saying I'm really good at it:)) from time to time. Normally just on the deck, not expecting to live, but just having some fun. I can tell you, if ya run into a spit(or any "dogfighter" type aircraft) pilot who knows basic air manuevers, it can be a tough fight. Now you get a guy who knows a little more than the flat turn of death, 7 outta 10 times, your back in the tower. In the same aircraft he's toast, but against a P40 that is outclassed in almost everything, he wins.
