Have you been in the cookie jar, Karnak?  :D

It would be nice to have this plane, but I agree. Be patient, good things come to those who wait  :aok

No.  If I had been I would certainly not drop what might be seen as a quasi hint that would deny me every getting access to the cookie jar again.

No.  Not another "fad" plane.  Go fly the A20 and pretend, they are close enough.     ;)

Up to 14/.50 cal guns???  6 or 8 in the nose and another 3 in each wing?  Plus 4000 or 6000 lbs of ord depending on fuel range needed and guns???  Quite the package.

With gun pods, more than 14 guns.

So where do you go to avoid this HO??

It's going to be the newbie, hold down the trigger and hose the sky HOing bird starting from 1200. Also the hang on the props and hose the sky catch you to 800 on the zoom bird. Basically a maneuverable flying ack, lead hosing platform. Then place it in the hands of a Cobia level skilled A20 fighter pilots, and furballs will never be the same again. Or a squad can simply fly through a furball line abreast holding down on the trigger hosing the red away.

At least the ww2 version didn't carry HVAR. That would make it the P38 mated with a jug monstrosity that would drop the VH, FH, and town. De-ack, self defend from fighters, and call in the troops to capture.

If our game was the real world it wouldn't be an issue. We are all failure with how things turn out in the MA polar opposed to how they really performed in WW2. Bet this thing will get a nice perk just to head off a repeat of the CHog HO epidemic.

Just imagine kappa and fester in one of these flying through a furball. You get screwed coming and going.

These planes are awesome! Got to work on a A26 once (1982 I think) and then ride right seat for test ride around the patch. I lived in Illinois and the A26 was on it's way to Arizona USA to get converted for fire fighting.

Just imagine that with a staggered or really short convergence...  Point nose in general direction of target, obliterate.

The aircraft in AH right now with the greatest similarity in handling to the A-26 would probably be the Me410.

The A-26's wing loading is very high for a WWII aircraft.  It will not be nearly as agile as the A-20.

I forgot about that.  Good point.  Me thinks many would be disappointed that it wouldn't be A20 "easy mode" to fly.  Just like they're disappointed with the Me410.   ;)

I'm also pretty sure the A-26 will come to AH at some point.  To get an idea of the planes HT is considering for production line up, take a look at the past New Plane Polls.

- 1   nice wish, but there are many more planes needed as has been expressed here by many other players... before this one

Then we need to find DeadDuck and Wolfman to fly/gun one, or DoK to do some Blood Pigging.
