I don't see a reason why anyone can't up in empty buffs if they want to.

What is the big deal?

Right, I agree the A-20 ought to be able to up empty, I was just pointing out that it is not a bug, nor anything recent, its always been than way.

Think the reason it's not available as an attack plane is because it ups with drones. While this isn't a problem while using it as a fighter, drones will just crash, it could be used to build up lots of fighter perks while bombing objects(i think when attack is selected all perks are fighter). I've only been here a little while so i may be wrong about this stuff but I completly agree that A20 should be available with a zero ord loadout with an attack selection but drones should be unavailble when this option is selected.

Only the 'Boston" version of the A-20 has drones.

Alright, whats the big deal if someone wants to up in B24 formations without bombs onboard? Whats the big deal?

Quite a few people use them as gun platforms anyway, whats the difference?

I only use buffs is:

A. To be used as gunships because I dont know how to bomb

B. Only buffs I use to bomb with is lancasters but I only use it to carpet bomb gvs as its easy to do with 18 eggs.

C. Base defense if they are swarming in and dont want to get ganged in a fighter.

However I only use the il2 as because of the heavy armanent which I feel is a better gun set than the a20. Il2 has those 23mms which are good against gvs and fighters which the a20s 50 cals are not good against gvs.

Got my vote for the A20 slick.

cobia38 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2006, 01:36:35 AM »

even an ar 234 can be upped with no ord.
I would love to see A20 able to roll light.

A little off topic but the funniest thing ive done was lure a 109 to chase my 24 towards a mountain top let him close up(rear ball and top turrets out) and just as you get to mountain go vertical drop eggs(must be in semi dive to have speed to pull off loop) but if all goes right your explosions of bombs catch him in thier wake he goes bye bye.

Then real fun to try and keep wings on 24

To me the Havoc is a pure attack AC (unlike the Boston which is styled as a level bomber).

I didn't realise there was not an ordless option.............

should be IMO

HTC you have had to of read this post by now...I think all of us are waiting to know your thoughts on the subject please

Morpheus · « **Reply #27 on:** January 01, 2006, 04:16:03 PM »

Bottom line, the A20 is every bit an attack/bomber as is the IL2. If the IL2 can be taken off with no ord so should the A20 be allowed to do the same.

cav58d · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2006, 04:33:52 PM »

Another arguement in favor of the A-20 without ords is that the airplane does not have a level bomb site...

PS-Xrack or whoever was attacking me to my squad come find me..dont bich at my squad mates...

Okay...The JU-88 is "flyable without ords"....HTC please respond with your thoughts on this topic...if the JU-88 can be upped without ords than surely the A-20 should be able to, no?
