The B-25H-5 is the best attack bomber.  It has lots of forward facing death.  A-20's where used with moderate success by the Russians and Americans as straffers.

The A-26 should be perked, it's circa 1944 like the dora and P-51D.  It could have up to 14 .50's facing forward if memory serves me.

Love to have a Fw 200, but the PV-2 was still in heavy use from '43 to '45.

Be nice for the navy version coming up.

Shame they didn't strengthen the airframe of the Condor like the Vega Ventura.
