Meg, the caption on the top right of the photo you've just posted. Any chance of getting a fuller look at it? Or the name of the book?

Tks

Np Ft,

Could you imagine ... 240 20mm plus 2x50's, 12 bazookas, 2000lbs of bombs and 2x50's in the rear...Thats a nice attack package.

Edit: Not to mention the bomb bay gas tanks...... 1500 gal of gas  
There are a few nice shots of RAAF A20G's in the book.

No wonder the thing was named Havoc


If HT and Pyro decide to update the A20-G/20 Havoc and the A20C? Boston... I hope they include this model ..A20-G/1 Havoc

 :salute

I would be surprised if those drums can hold 240 20mm rounds. I'd be moderately surprised if they can hold 120. Also, with the 12 bazookas on that installation the max speed will take a big hit.

The A20 is an attack plane, not a bomber. Come on - rockets, no level bomb sight and more fixed forward firepower than most fighters cannot qualify as a bomber. It should lose the F3 view and roll out of the fighters hangar.

Whats 4x60?
You really need alot of speed attacking the ground.

edit: I wouldnt mind if the f3 was gone from the whole game  ;)

I think it should be an attack plane, just an attack bomber rolling from the buff hanger, Its not a fighter.
