In a dogfight it'd fare about as well as a 110 I'd guess. In Air Warrior (only point of reference I've got) it was solid in A2A indeed, at least if it had an E advantage. Funny thing is in AW its gun was a peashooter. Not sure what that was about.
I still don't like the idea of having this thing in formations...at least, not with the nose guns. It's way too quick and maneuverable. Yes it has a bombsite, but it's not a buff. It's not a big slow pos with no hope like a buff. For all intents and purposes, it's a 110 with a bombsite. If it had formations, it would be nearly impossible to stop from killing CVs...which is already a problem with the big slow guys.
i think the "c" version had the norden bombsite and lacked the nose guns
the "B" versions would follow and drop when the leading "C" model did.
then it was targets of opportunity time!!
pretty sure i read that somewhere.
Hey--if they won,t put a HE219a7 on the list --A-26 is next best choice!!!
