Title: A-26 Invader
Post by: Yossarian on August 17, 2008, 10:36:22 PM
I searched, and it's been far too long since this was requested.

Need I say more?   :aok

Are you trying to be sarcastic? (Not trying to offend you, just no  :rolleyes: in here and we've all been asking for the He111 and more axis bombers)

A26 Invader was my first choice in the plane poll thing, I voted for it every chance there was. I rarely would fly it myself. But, it was so great and fun in AW it seems almost wrong we don't have it in AH.

There are many other med and lt bombers and attack aircraft from other countries that should see the light of day first, IMO.

The fan club for the A26 simply needs to take the A20 and pretend.  The US is already well represented.   ;)

For starters, the Jap Ki-45 "Nick", Soviet Il-4 and Tu-2, German He111 and Stuka Ju-87G, Italia's SM79, and maybe even the UK's Beaufighter all would fill a void in the game.     :)

A  FIAT CR.42 wouldn't be bad a good dive bomber

The CR.42 was a fighter... it could only carry 200kg of bombs.

SM49-III =  2700lbs of ord or a torpedo.  It was a dive-bomber and sources say it was good.  I didnt mention the Cr43, that is another thread.   ;)

Its a well known fact that if jesus flew a medium bomber attack airplane thingy it would be this one..
So the question is...What would hey-zues do? :aok

A26 oh yes!!!!
Hmmmm, the best light bomber/attack plane of the war....
Thats why it was used untill the wings literally fell off...
last sorties for A26 were in Vietnam, 1968.....
And they still hadn't found a plane that could do the job so well...
USAF had to aquire Navy A7's to do the same job...

good plane eh????

Correct you are wrong B26 was never voted on it was already in the game. But I know what you meant.
Title: Re: A-26 Invader
Post by: RipChord929 on August 19, 2008, 07:05:50 AM
Yep, there was a vote... I voted for A26....
I Think the voting was rigged, sweet A26 lost to that, big fat, tubby, slow, bucket o bolts.... :furious
When B25h first showed up, the 75 was missmodeled, so It could kill anything w one shot... :rofl
Credit to HT, cuz they fixed that glitch fairly quickly :aok

Its not near as popular now, the newness wore off... Ppl found out what an easy target it is
for almost anything that flies... And that it is sweetmeat for wirbies.... :D

A26 would have been a far more usefull addition to the MA's....
HT can't avoid it forever!!!

Roman numerals are not done using Arabic numerals, but rather with capital letters.  "WWII" for example, using capital "i"s.

As long as this thread's around...

When this has come up in the past, people have almost immediately called for it to be perked.  I don't remember it being terribly unbalancing in AW, so I wonder, why should it/should it not be perked?

Thoughts?

Post by: Pigslilspaz on August 19, 2008, 11:12:14 PM
correct me if im wrong, but isnt the criteria for a perk beingthat the plane was built in no that large of numbers, but if it did it would have easily affected the outcome of the war (aka Me-262 and Ar-234)
