Just imagine that with a staggered or really short convergence...  Point nose in general direction of target, obliterate.

The aircraft in AH right now with the greatest similarity in handling to the A-26 would probably be the Me410.

The A-26's wing loading is very high for a WWII aircraft.  It will not be nearly as agile as the A-20.

I forgot about that.  Good point.  Me thinks many would be disappointed that it wouldn't be A20 "easy mode" to fly.  Just like they're disappointed with the Me410.   ;)

I'm also pretty sure the A-26 will come to AH at some point.  To get an idea of the planes HT is considering for production line up, take a look at the past New Plane Polls.

Then we need to find DeadDuck and Wolfman to fly/gun one, or DoK to do some Blood Pigging.
