Refresh my memory. Why does Hitech not want to add the A-26?

[Guppy35]

How does the B-25C compare to the H in terms of maneuvering?  The H moves around like a pregnant hippo, only chance in a dogfight is if I can get an angle on the first turn, otherwise the heavy nose makes it really tough to swing the plane around.

ack-ack

25C is lighter.  I tend to use it when the latest carrier crew has killed the fighter hangers and all that's left are bombers.  25 fuel and no bombs, with those 8 50s in the nose.  Someone starts shooting as they head in on me, I fire back.  if not it's not quite an A20 but close.  Best run was 3 F4Us downed and that was in a horde.   Funny as heck to see another one run from me after that

To be fair they were not ACM guys, just trying to take down the town, but getting in a stall fight with any F4U in a B25C and winning, is good for a laugh

LOL you serious, why not just use the P47, oh wait I might know, is it because of the convergence thing with those 8 .50's in the wing? or are you just a bomber junkie like me? I remember one time I was flying a B25H against tanks attacking a base. After I ran out of bombs and cannon ammo I just flew headlong into the furball, guns-a-blazin and I downed a P-38, a Bf 109, a mossie, and one of the B26's already in the game.

Reading is fundamental.

Uhh.... weren't we talking about the A-26 before?

Yep, and this game would do well to have another very capable and potentially multirole PERKED bomber, such as the A-26.

I believe that is all that we need to know as to 'why we should have the A-26'.  That and the fact that it was voted into third place after the B-25 and P-39.
