mislabled Boston III

[Ack-Ack]

Only 250 a20g's <glass nosed> had 20mm hispanos because they were unreliable and were replaced by M2's. 2,850 <solid nose> were built with M2's.

The Soviets though did continue to use the 20mm package for some their Lend-Lease A-20Gs. Not sure of the amount but it was used by at least one Soviet squadron operationally.

About 700 a20gs were shipped to the soviets under lend lease. How they were modified, to suit their needs,  I can't tell you. I would suppose they would be armed with the soviet 20x99r 20mm ShVAK



Edit: All you want to know about the A20/DB7.

ok, did a test on this last night. someone was kind enough to look at the bostons i upped and tell me what it said. It did say bost3 to him. which makes this even stranger. the formation of a20's definitely changed to A20G. wish i saved the video now or took a screenshot. the whole time i'm thinking 'how did that guy get a formation of A20G's. All I can say is it must've been some sort of glitch. Don't know if being on a cv when the icons change means anything. don't know why it would.  my apologies. Do like adding the torpedo to the mix.
