In air to air combat terms, the Mossie will eat the A-26 for lunch.

Yes, but the A-26 also far more ords.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

For a Brit, I am surprised you dismiss the Mossie so quickly for the A-26 (Image removed from quote.)

Hooked. :aok

There's nothing about AH2's version of the Mossie I really like. I fly to aggressive to be effective in it.

According to the poll results the next 3 birds should be the A-26, Yak-3, and He-111.

Works for me.

try flying a mossie aggressively, it may surprise you. Of course it would take a few months of dedication to learn it's quirks...

A26 Hell YES :aok   Just a few of these, comin in fast in shallow dive, could get from the dar ring to over the base, before fighters could get enough alt to meet them. With enough ord to clobber 2 hangers in one DB pass, they could leave a field totally defenseless in 30 seconds or less.. And then escape with 500mph dive speed.. If mem serves, it used a laminar flow wing like the pony, so it should retain E pretty well too.. Looks like the heavy gun package had 16x50cals too, LOL!!  Base cap fighters would have to remain on station to guard against these fast sneak attacks from an unknown direction.. A game changer for sure ..   
Better have those 262's with alt for defense!

+1 It fits all the criteria for addition to the game..
+1 It is a genuine "Late War" design for the LW arena's..
+1 It would be great to have a perk bomber, that is REALLY WORTH the perks, every bit!

Well, if you can't do it with over 20 different U.S. aircraft...another one isn't going to make a bit of difference.

I'd much rather see a Pe-2, Tu-2, Ki-102, Beaufighter or Me410 than the A-26.  They can do similar jobs and aren't yet more representation to the most represented planeset.

Yes, but the A-26 also far more ords.
The impression I get from people's posts about the A-26 is that they want it as a fighter, not as an attack plane.
