Fly a Mosquito if you want four Hispanos.

No more rare armaments that would be, by far, the most commonly selected in AH.

Not worried about balance so much as the historically significant aircraft going unused while the historically insignificant aircraft sees a lot of use.

I don't think the F4U-1C was a great idea to add either, but look how well that turned out.

Nation favoritism is just silly.  Particularly when it is about using a bomber as a fighter.

  Who said anything about using a bomber for a fighter  :headscratch:
  but i would use an  "attack aircraft" as one in a pinch   ;)   
   Its kinda funny how fighters can carry bombs, but when a "bomber" or :attack " plane is used to fight a fighter everyone cries.

Historically, fighters were used to bomb things.  Historically, bombers or attack aircraft like the A-20G were not used as air superiority fighters.  Sorry, you're equivalency is false.

  Historically 110 g2 was not used to strafe buildings and ground targets,but yet its the primary choice for many NOE base takes.
  MA is a free for all fighting areana,there is nothing historic about it other then the models available.

     Cobia does make a strong point  :aok  Just because the real crews didn't like the 20mm doesn't mean they
wouldn't work here.

If the A-20 generates many more whines it will go the way of the IL-2 and have F3 mode removed.
