A-26

[TwinBoom]

Which has precisely nothing to do with your earlier claim of turn fighting top 20 fighter drivers in AH.  The A-26 does not have the tools to do what you describe.

tell that to Cobia

My position remains unchanged.  Somebody who emerges victorious from a dogfight in a B-26 against any fighter is demonstrating their opponent's lack of skill, not their own skill.

Why not let them have the A-26?  You get to repeatedly shoot them out of the sky when they try to fly it like a fighter.

It may have been back in AW, with its quirky flight models, but I still fondly remember the one time I managed to suck a P-51 driver down into a turnfight against my A-26 and beat him after I got him to blow off all his E...

When it gets added to AH I would not recommend trying that if you wanted to keep your perk plane from being eaten alive by the P-51.

Only in Fantasyland.  With any sort of equal pilots the P-51 wins 95+ out of 100 fights.

HEY !!! don't be messing with semp! He's got a POINT 5 K/D in the B26 over the last 3 months he certainly knows what he's talking about !!


Kidding aside, people like Cobia will get get great numbers of kills in it due to how they already fly A20's against the cream of the "dweeb" stock we have flying in the MAs these days. Against a skilled player no it won't be the animal it was in AW, but against the players we have today, I think it might do well.

Based on the numbers I have seen, the only things the A-26 has over the A-20G in terms of air-to-air combat is a slight edge in speed and significantly improved firepower.  The A-20G will be far, far more maneuverable and, I think, a much more effective air-to-air platform.


Truth be told, I am kinda starting to want the A-26 added just so one side of this argument can eat crow.

I used to routinely fly the a26 as a fighter in aw3.  I'd be interested to see what I could do with one in here.  So far I've been using the A20 instead

Well that was always the trick in AW with the A26 much like the A20 here. You don't fly it at it's top speed. There is a sweet spot that it maneuvers well with out shedding parts.

Again, the average crew wouldn't do well with it much like the A20 we have, but those that spend a lot of time in it will do well. Look at Cobia score, he's about 3 to 1 K/D, as apposed to semps .5 to 1 K/D. Skilled vs average

you are truly a dork (meant for karnak), you are a dork for a totally different reason j/k.  I dont use the b26 to turnfight on a regular basis, i use it for what it's here, to bomb.  I have perhaps 1 or 2 flights this month.  so your comparison of stats between me and cobia's use of the a20 is way off.

by the way look at this film, another example of things that cannot be done by an airplane based on the current code  .  (we really need sarcasm font ).

this film should be mandatory for people that keep on saying such and such cannot be done in whatever airplane.
