Never take an A-20 for granted. It can hold its own with more than a few fighters. I had a great flaps out 1v1 with Creton in his 109K4 last night. I had ripped off my rudder diving on a P-38. So, I had a disadvantage in that I could not use the rudder to speed up the roll rate, or side slip for a shot. Still, I was able to ping up the 109, before someone picked Creton (despite my asking over VOX to let us fight it out) after several minutes of maneuvering. The nature of the fight was furballing, so Creton and I never had another opportunity to try again.
If I'm reasonably close in energy, I'll tackle anything that comes along, with a reasonable expectation of winning.
The A-20 is a real hoot.
