Whats sad about it?
The a-20 is one of the more dangerous aircraft.  It's got the durability of a bomber,  incredible nose-mounted firepower, and the speed and maneuverability of a fighter.  And since it's a bomber, too many people underestimate it's abilities.

Still, it should get it's missing gun.

Just trying to preach the word that the A20 is badass. Nothing is more convincing then video evidence.

Good guns, not too good of a fighter though.

I'll pounce onto anthing in the MA as long as I've got alt on it. You want to see some eyes open? Pounce some buffs in a B-26! :D

If one would convert the B-26 to the A-26K, i'd never stop the bounce. But I did enjoy it much when I did - the 1000 rds was a bit on the skimpy side.

The trick to buffs is to aim for the wing tip.


If it breaks off, they can't be alone in the plane and gunning.  Nor can you bomb anything.  If the plane starts to go down, you won't get it back.

     I once jumped a lancaster formation with a formation of B-26s.
The hardest part was lining up the 3 buffs so i could hit em all
with the first burst...I think he was asleep or something :lol

I've shot Lancs down in aerial battleship style fights using the B-17 and Ki-67.

Got another with a shot to heck TBM-3.

In the Lanc's defense, I vulched a Typhoon with the twin .303 nose turret with it once.
