Why don't we save some of the American stuff that hasn't been added so we can sprinkle it lightly amongst the massive quantity of non-American stuff that hasn't been added lest we face the situation of people whining that nothing American has been added in ages?  Don't want the American stuff to be too front loaded now, do we?

(Translation: There isn't a whole lot of American stuff left to add and if it gets added too soon there will be a very long period where everything that gets added is Australian, British, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian or Russian.  I don't think that would go over very well.)

I would pay 30 bucks a month to have the a26 added to the game.   people say it's wont be the same as in AW...blah, blah, blah.  I dont care.  it just brings back memories.  none of the airplanes we fly here are the same as in aw.  so I look forward to the a26 being added.

Good, then we can saddle up in a 88mm Flak and take care of those pesky enemy clouds...

Drooling for one of those CJ B17 missions to get some target practice!

Hell Yes to the A26, a bomber actually worth some perks..

Throw in a few other goodies,

Like separate invasion fleets,
Landing Craft Tank (LCT),
Player spawnable destroyers,
Real working Artillery
Engineer/Pioneer functions,

Oh yeah, Then I'd pay $30 month too..

A-26 will be perked, probably as the cheapest perk bomber, in order to prevent it from being over used.  That said, it is going to have a very, very rough time of it in AH as a perk bomber.  It will be slow, clumsy and easy to kill compared to many free fighters.  Meeting a Spitfire Mk XVI, P-51D, La-7, Bf109K-4 or Ki-84 will basically be a death sentence for an unescorted A-26.

Despite being pretty much helpless against pretty much all late war fighters and many mid-war fighters and some early war fighters, it will need to be perked and that perk price will make people want its scalp even more.  Unlike the three other perk bombers which are high, fast aircraft, the A-26 will be an attack aircraft and need to be down in the weeds where it loses the speed and altitude protections that are the primary defenses of perk bombers.

Only after the B-26 gets updated


 

[cobia38]

yes, + 1 for this slow, unmanuverable, easy kill for fighters, attack aircraft

How is it underrated?  I gets raved about everywhere I've seen.

There was the glassnose aswell.

But yeh, US planeset is way too overrepresented compared to the other countries for it to be added anytime soon.

[guncrasher]

well the other country's planeset is underrepresented most likely because they suck so bad they will be hangar queens.  I understand having some of those planes but if they only are used twice a year in scenarios then why add them?
