Actually, up to 16 forward facing 50 cals:

I heard that you can also have the top turret locked foreward and fired by the pilot.

So its more like 18 foreward firing 50 cals.  :devil

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.

True, but the A-26 is just *so* much better looking, lol  ;)
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

A very bright light used for illuminating targets for ground attack?

So what should be the perk price for it?

Dont forget the A-26C also saw action and would be the level bomber varient. It would be lethal against CVs I can tell you that much and very survivable. Were talking Mossie speed with almost heavy bomber ordinance load. Add in 3 fighters worth of MGs.

Im thinking the 100 perk price range. Unlike the perk bomber we already have the A-26 would have a big impact on the game.

In Korea...

Uhhh.  No.

It is a light.

The proposed 75mm mounting was offset to the right with two .50s on the left.

The A-26 "all purpose nose" was designed to accept 8 .50s or 1 75mm and 2 .50s or 3 37mms or 1 37mm and 1 75mm or 1 37mm and 2 .50s or 2 37mms or 6 .50s or a bombardier nose with 2 .50s.




Only the 6 .50, 8 .50 and bombardier nose saw service.

I'm thinking no perk for the A-26C modle, and between 15-20 for others depending on which model we get.

Not that much. Its still a bomber and neither carries the ords of a heavy bomber or is as armed as a heavy bomber. It also wont be formation enabled.

 6 fifty nose should be perked at 7, 8 fifty at 15 and bomadier at 3. Each gun pod should be an extra 2 perks and external ords should be 10 perks each.

Sandwich, as your commander I order you to shut the f**k up about ord perking. Up to but not including the 3 perks for bombadier version, I agree with you.

The bombadier version would be less dangerous then the B-26 we have now.
