A-26

[Kazaa]

we need the a26 it had the biggest guns of any ww2 airplane  .  110's will be obsolete (j/k)

Don't you mean most? 14 .50cals forward firing .50 cals. Both a top and bottom gun turret dome thrown in for good measure.

The A-26 we be pure awesome!

The A-26 would be a fine addition to the plane set.  The need for more Soviet and Japanese planes is more pressing though.

I thought the 39 came in second to the 25, and the 26 was third?  Hell, I can't remember that long ago anyway.

And you think I can??

Absolutely. IN

I would enjoy the A-26.

Might make me fly bombers exclusively.

The question is...  Will it be perked?

[Nemisis]

I'm guessing if it will be perked, it would be something low like 15 or so.

Love to fly this one. My grandfather flew this in the Pacific Theater.

Actually, up to 16 forward facing 50 cals:
Note nose guns here:

And wing guns here (2 pods of 2 guns per wing ):

Hence, 8+8=16 guns

And one more picture for no other reason except it looks cool!

The Bf 110G-2 still has more forward facing firepower. 2 MK 108 and 4 MG 151/20 are roughly equivalent to 32 M2 .50 cal MG's in game. Of course the A26's would have a straighter trajectory.

[Nemisis]

motherland, thats still some serious hitting power. And, as you said, straighter trajectory, which will improve accuracy.
