Wing loading says otherwise.
a A26 is like a A20 turn good for its size
 yes it will turn inside a 109   
if a lanc can turn with C205 than why cant a A26 turn inside a 109 a lanc has higher wing loading than a A26 for sure so yes a A26 can trun inseide a 109 if in a RIGHT turn(109s turn better to the left than the right)

Proof?  You keep saying it will but you've failed to prove that it can while we've posted data from the pilot's manual that clearly says it can't.

A Lancaster cannot out turn a C.205, in game or in real life.

A Lancaster has much lower wing loading than an A-26 as well.

me and a squadie had a 106 running scared for his life.  At low speed buffs will outurn lots of planes in the short run. Of course if fighter goew up then its a different story.

All you need to do is paste the link into your post.  I would but I have yet to find any credible sources or documents that state an A-26 can out turn a Bf 109 of any type.

As for you out turning a C.205 in a Lancaster, well, you just ran across probably one of the worst C.205 flyers in the game.  On a side note, I regularly out turn Zekes in a P-38 but that's in game and reality it would be an entirely different outcome.

I had one of the best 109 flyers outurned with my B26 last week over the port.  Only reason he lived was we had no ammo.  Buffs can be used as fighter in ah just like in aw, but they are seldom used this way.

Which A-26 are you asking for?
A-26B - Attack Bomber Variant; two blocks produced with 6 and 8 x 12.7mm machine guns in solid nose.
or
A-26C - Attack Bomber Variant with glassed-in nose for bombardier; 2 x 12.7mm machine guns in nose position.

The one with a zillion mg/cannons in the nose/pod with the orda/firepower one could kill 1/2 the town.

I do not think it was ever armed with cannons, just the 6 or 8 x 12.7mm

It was designed with a modular nose that could be equipped with a variety and mix of cannons and machine guns. 



Combinations included a mix of .50 cal. mg plus 37mm or 75mm cannon, 2 37mm cannon, 1 37mm cannon and 1 75mm cannon, or all .50 cal. mgs.

The only combinations produced that saw  combat were six or eight .50 cal. mg and 2 .50 cal. with the glass nose.  Two aircraft were produced with the 75mm cannon for evaluation but never left the States.

Just like a lot of other AC, looking to add bigger gun packet age but never put into service.
