for sure the K4 is an easy kill to the A20, its basically immune to 30mm

  kinda hard to kill something unless you actually hit it

In all of 2013 the A-20 enjoyed a K/D of 0.42 against the K4 (2.40 from the 109's perspective) 

That's quite a success rate for the K4 with only two 13mm guns to damage the A-20  :noid

I had a A20 catch me off guard today in my 109g14. Its amazing how well A plane that big can climb, but really all you have to do as a fighter pilot to avoid one is WEP up and nose down, they simply can't keep up. They are a pest if they catch you with your pants down low and slow but so is anything that has guns.
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

If you have to run from an A-20, you should try a different game.

Id rather run than get shot in a turn fight. I really don't see the issue with running and getting some distance between us before reengaging  :headscratch:

I suspect Ack of being "curmudgeonly" at this stage. I mean, the late-war Messer's got a big speed edge over the A-20. Why throw that away?

With good gunners onboard, a turning dogfight with a A-20 ends with you being shot up by its gunners before you either lose or get angle on them.
Shooting at 4g is not a problem for good gunners in AH.

Gunner? We can have a gunner?   ;)

Too bad the A-20s are missing the ventral gun. Maybe it will appear when it gets the graphic update.

come to think of it gunners are not affected by G forces like the pilot is in this game?  :headscratch:

Yeah, but that guy is just an observer, not a shooter.

Because you shouldn't be turning with the A20 in a late war 109.  Go vert, young man...go vert!

Against a late war 109?  I would take that bet.
