Title: A26
Post by: onions4u on November 11, 2004, 12:01:19 PM
just saw a film made in 1945 about the A26

Please HT think about adding this Attack/Bomber in the future.

Aaah, the 'vader. We definately need one of these in AH2.
It was one of my favorite bombers way back in AW, and I really do miss it.

Some attacker version of the B-26 wasn't it?

I believed they were used during the vietnam war too (early vietnam)

That often causes confusion.

No, it was not a development of the B-26.

The A-26 was redesignated B-26 after the war.  The confusion is induced because we have two entirely different aircraft listed as B-26s.

A-26 would be great.  It was one of the first super planes of Air Warrior.

Aces High isn't Air Warrior though.

It would still be a great plane of course.
It just won't be as good a fighter. ;)

They wouldn't need to do a P-70 to get the Hispanos. One of the first batches of A-20Gs had 4 20mms in the nose. Most of these were given to the Soviets under lend lease. HTC could add it as a (perked?) armament option to the G.

Besides, the P-70 is less powerful than the G, lacks the turret, has a belly pack that would add drag and it couldn't carry bombs.

I definately agree that the A26 would be an awesome addition.. I'm really starting to like the A20, and I could only imagine the 26..

Actually it was an upgrade to the Douglas A-20 Havoc and during WWII carried the A for attack designator but was changed to the "B-26" Invader during Korea and Vietnam.  Loved the heck out of it in AirWarrior.  Dump 75% of he ammo after takeoff and carry no bombs and you had one heck of a heavy fighter.

All the Best...
