There is really no reason for any other variant of the A-20, any other additions would not see much use.  The A-20J is basically the same as the G, except with a glass nose and if you want a glass nosed Havok, fly the Boston.  The A-20G would be better off in game with more ordnance options instead of adding more variants.

Aren't you a dogfight only person?

What ordnance options would there be? I'm guessing 100lb bombs, and 100lb bombs. About right?

The A-20G had a lot of different ordnance options, some that would need be added in game like the ability to carry rockets or torpedoes.  The early A-20G production models (around 200) were produced with quad 20mm cannons in the nose (saw service with the USAAF in the PTO and with the Soviets).

What does that have to do with anything relating to this thread?

i thought the c model was the one that carried a torpedo...  :headscratch:  didn't see anything on the g model doing it.

HVAR's, or those 4.5" rockets? Never have seen a photo of an A20 with any rockets, come to that. And, we'd need a perked ordnance system to reasonably add the 4x 20mm option, or it would comprise about 95% of all A20 sorties.


And I also thought it was the C that carried the torps. Not a big US bomber buff though, could be mistaken.

G models also had a kit that allowed the use of torpedoes but I don't think any were used operationally, at least for the USAAF.

The photos I've seen with the A-20G were with the bazooka rockets and launcher tubes, like this A-20G.

I've also seen pictures of a Boston III with rockets.

the c model did see operational use with the torp and without a field kit, but i don't think it had the engines the g model had.
