A-20G best plane introduced into AH!

If you are into the "base-taking" strat aspect of AH, there is no better plane than the 110g2.  Its speed is more than acceptable, and armed with just rockets and cannons (no bombs = MORE CANNONS) they can make minced meat of any strat target.

Roll 5 of these and a goon, NOE,  on an unsuspecting base and if timed right (goon 1k to 2k from town when 110s hit) the town will be down in seconds and drunks out seconds after that.

Once the 110s take down the town, they can immediately turn into CAP with their flyability and if anything tries to get off the ground ... well, we all know what those cannons can do to a plane. :D

The 110s are truly devestating in all aspects. The cannons alone, separate this plane from the others. Don't get me wrong ... I like the A20 also. I haven't flown it as much as the 110, but it will take a lot to convince me that it is better than the 110.

Well first of all,
The A20G is not better then the 110 and the 110 is not better then the A20G.

110 is a fighter/attack aircraft
****can hit a ground target and hang around

A20G is bomber/attack aircraft
****hit the target maybe make a pass or two and get out.
BIG difference in design!

HOWEVER If I had choice I would take the A20 for a few reasons I mentioned earlier.

A: Survivability

B: A radial not an inline.. give me a M16 and a pop to one of those inlines  and your 110 best be hoofing it or its gopher chow.  Pop a radial and you have a good chance to make it home.

Also as for taking 5 110Gs and a goon and sneaking up on a unsuspecting base.  Hell you could due that with a handfull of IL2s as long as they are NOT aware.

Best and quickest base capture I have ever seen was with 3 P47D30s and a goon.  Took them under 4 min from the time they started the run to take over.

The most unique take over I have seen is with 12 IL2s and a goon.  I think they wiped the whole town in first pass.  Can't remeber was back in last version.  

Ether way the 110G2 is a good solid ground attack plane and a so so fighter.  HOWEVER, give me a P61 setup for ground attack, 4000lb of bombs, 4 20s with 500 round per gun and 4 50s. (snicker..110G2... snicker)
Had to through that one in!;)

I love the A-20.  I think it's great, but . . .


Give me the B-25J with all the .50s you could want in the nose and a 75mm nose cannon to boot!:D
