What are the similarities between the A20 and Bostons?  I seem to remember seeing a flight of Bostons coming into the field and the icon said A20......just wondering.

Basically Boston is an earlier version of the A20 w/ glass nose and .303s instead of .50 cal. A20 has better engines and bomb racks on the wings.
Up a Boston and then up an A20 and you will see the similarities.

now that we have the 26 and a20 it seems a bit of a waste doing the 25 as there are more important types to add... seems the 25 wouldnt bring anything new.


I fly 26's a lot in this game.  I can say it has a high durability factor.  I have sunk numerous CV's on a 5k level bomb run and survived.  The only planes I've ever worried about shooting me down are 110's, Typhoons, and of course 163's and 262's.

Yeah, no kidding it's tough.. TOO tough, if you ask me. I was in an f4uc chasing one. It had alredy been attacked before by another player. I had 200 rounds in my primary and secondary.. I used EVERY FREAKING ROUND on the damn 26. I don't care if you say they scattered, 400-freaking-20mm rounds will obliterate 10 planes, not just 1. When I was done I had a total of 60 rounds left (about 30 each pri/sec).

It's BS.
